I cured my thumb shifting problem (mildly painfully)

I cured my thumb shifting problem (mildly painfully)

Hello everyone my name is Mumbo and I press shift with my thumb I mean look look at that I never even thought about the fact that I press shift and zoom at the same time that is disgusting what is going on this is something that I’ve done for an incredibly long time ever

Since I really started playing Minecraft or games in general this is just how I’ve done it it’s something that I really want to change you see I’ve come up with a bit of an invention I’ve attached a safety cable to a part of my desk and if I Loop this through my my

Thumb look no matter how hard I try I I cannot press shift with my thumb so hopefully if I play Minecraft a lot today I should force this thumb to stay where it belongs this is an incredibly stupid idea but I hope it works now I’ve

Given myself a bit of a task to complete I’m playing in survival mode so I actually have to press shift and now it kicked in immediately okay I I wanted to shift click these items in and immediately my thumb I can’t tell you how much force just went through this

Safety cable they’re rated for loads up to like many hundreds of kilos but I honestly don’t think that’s enough to stop my thumb wanting to shift okay I I’ve got some bits and pieces so I want to build up a tower that is a very shifting focused activity right let’s

See I mean I I I probably should have had some kind of plan as to what I wanted to do here um something something like this I don’t know gradients yeah think thinking gradients okay I’ve just realized I’m finding it kind of hard to play I I’ve realized something utterly disgusting

About this might be worse than the fact that I thumb shift what surely I don’t always oh my goodness I press the W and D keys with my my pointer finger I’m I’m a disgusting human being I’m I’m gross what no what is this God I’m I’m

Learning two things now I’m learning to play with my index finger and also learning to shift with my pinky unsuccessfully they keep switching this video’s just gotten significantly harder I thought I was going to have to focus on the thumb but I’m having to focus on

This as well I think I’ve got an idea a second safety Cable okay I’m in busy Oh my goodness is the stupidest idea I’ve ever come up with but it’s working honestly it feels like I’m learning this feels like a first piano lesson I have no clue what my hand is doing do not expect this towel to be good by the way

All of my mental bandwidth is being used on my left hand okay I think I think we should start noising this this up a little bit I’m getting somewhere still definitely having to think a lot definitely not coming natural to me oh Gosh no it’s falling apart how are we looking so far um deep deep slate tiles there arguably even darker than the Deep slate tiles so they should definitely make up the lower levels I I’m genuinely getting tired I would I would describe myself as being

Tired right now I I can feel the fatigue in my brain see evident evidence of fatigue oh my goodness how many times am I going to throw out my pickaxe it looks way too flat at this point in time I think we need to add some more texture

Obviously this is just the bottom layer yeah just some chunks missing and things maybe even some entire slices missing I’ll pop inside in a second and try and fill those gaps it’s going to sound really weird I’m actually starting to get quite nauseous I’m not joking I’m

Starting to get motion sick that’s never happened to me before what happened when you stopped shifting with your thumb you got violently ill why are you in the hospital sir well you see I was trying to teach myself not to press shift with my thumb my body just couldn’t take it I

Haven’t even needed to press shift with my thumb in a while I’ve been working purely on the floor this is from using my my index finger my index finger is actually the bigger issue here I honestly can’t believe I never noticed I genuinely genuinely I would have bet my

Entire house that I played Minecraft with the w SSD Keys the correct way like I didn’t even realize how weird I was I am also starting to get a slight pain in my arm and I wonder if that’s not necessarily from what I’m doing like pressing the keys but it’s actually me

Trying to do what I normally do and actually pulling on the chains which is firing those muscles in a weird way gosh I am dreadfully unfit if that is the case though okay I’d say the base of this thing is done let’s fill in these gaps half an hour in things are going

Well although I will say the movements do still feel really quite foreign it feels like they’re just being slightly Lost in Translation I I just can’t quite fire the signals that I want to it’s really frustrating and Incredibly fatiguing does this look good I mean I

Think it looks good I think it looks pretty cool oh I can’t tell you how sick this is making me feel how am I feeling so sick I’m literally just having to press shift with my pinky finger it continues all right let’s get cracking at least I still have the

Mental bandwidth to make terrible puns at this stage I was about an hour into the process and although progress was significantly slower than expected things were looking up I don’t know if this is just me being optimistic but I think I’ve passed a hurdle I think things are getting smoother like I’m

Falling off a lot less and I’m throwing things a lot less let’s have a look what we looking like Tower wise not bad you know not bad at all my forearm is burning I might actually need to take a rest you know what team I think we could

Be onto a winner here I’m feeling I’m at least our Tower is looking good though no way oh my goodness so my my index finger is now doing what my pointer finger used to do that’s how I’ve adapted my index finger is pressing the W and D keys this finger here I

Can’t even lift it to show you this this finger this one utterly useless I I have I have no way to control it apparently honestly the binky shifting is like the least difficult part of this video I think if it was just pinky shifting I’d be done I think

I would have been done in the first 10 minutes I I might be converted but I don’t know if I’m ever going to convert from being a pointer finger boy am I going to have to get a third safety cable to stop my index finger from moving about thank goodness I’m safety

Conscious and have loads of these things I’m losing track of what safety cable goes where right so okay this new safety cable is a little bit too short what did you do today well I clamped a bunch of safety cables to my desk to stop my fingers from doing things I don’t want

Them to while playing a video game and by the way that’s my job thumb can’t shift poter finger cannot move from D this one really struggles to get over to a I mean it would be God if my forearms aren’t pumped already then they’re going

To be by the end of this I should sell this as much I like that in a way that could almost be a build in of itself Where Do We Go From Here look at me my stupid finger is now learning how to move after 28 years on this

Planet I don’t think that thinger has done anything in its entire life should we start building some form of spire I mean I don’t really know how the ratios of these things work like should the Spire be longer or shorter than the previous segment now before all of you

Laugh at me down in the comments I’m intending to fall off of these okay I didn’t intend to fall off that one by the way I had no plan for this when I started making this video video my my only plan was to fix my hands getting a

Nice Tower is just a good byproduct if I had actually thought it through I could have made it like a temple of thumbs or something I mean this could still be a thumb wait when I drop down to the bottom I wonder if I could modify this

To look like some kind of robotic thumb and then I could just put some like hands and Knuckles over there it kind of could be a thumb I tell you what pressing shift with my pinky is now feeling very natural scarily natural in fact all right let’s start filling these

GS what we thinking here we going to keep the Frog lights going yeah that looks cool I mean maybe this is a robot arm and then I could put the thumb I could build a hand with a thumb up at the top I mean this may be a little bit

Ambitious I can’t build hands at the best of times let alone when I’m thinking about my own hand so much I want it known that this already feels Dreadful so if it looks Dreadful it’s not a surprise to me that’s actually worse than my actual

Hand i’ I’ve pulled it off I’ve made my own Twisted stupid hand look good by building something so much worse I would rather look at my own hand trying to press shift and and zoom at the same time than whatever this mess is I’m scrapping the Temple of thumbs idea I’m

Clearly not talented enough I’m going to make something fresh something new something better I am feeling a lot more fluid now things are coming together well my build might be coming together well I’ve concluded it’s a sort of Lighthouse watch Towery type thing I’m actually Amazed by how easy I’m finding

This right now my useless finger is doing the work that should potentially do it with the experiment now over let’s see the results I got to I’ve taken all the cables off things still seem to be sticking around in this area I’m definitely shifting with my pinky I I don’t want to

Do this that feels weird see look did you see my pinky was in the way my pinky doesn’t want to come off shift now genuinely this this does feel a bit crazy I’m kind of curious to see how this ends up has 2 hours of playing

With my hand chained up fixed a decade’s worth of pain I guess we’ll find out soon I hope you enjoyed this this little video and I’ll catch you in the next one see you

I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF PEOPLE LAUGHING AT ME, IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE.
In this Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft video, I chain my hand to my desk to prevent myself from pressing shift with my thumb. After being voted 2nd weirdest Hermit on the Hermitcraft server behind Ethoslab, I have decided to cure my thumb shifting problem. Can 2 hours of playing with my hands tied up change a lifetime of thumb shifting? Let’s find out.
