I'm just going through old suggestions that I previously skipped. This particular one was suggested by Lightmare over 8 years ago.

Ring finger, then pinky. I ain´t getting married and the pinky actually does stuff, outside of balancing out the hand.
I have slight nerve damage in my right pinky btw. after an army knife snapped shut right over it when I was a teen. It didn't hurt and the knife went right down to the bone like butter.
Cool stuff. I don´t even regret it.
Edit: Losing the left one is preferable but not a dealbreaker. Especially as I would look more spooky when shaking hands.

The order of options is bringing out the OCD in me. ?
I'd pick the ring finger on my non-dominant hand. Rings can be placed on any finger, and I'd rather keep my better hand intact.

the hell kind of question is this lmao, why do i have to lose a finger? ?
it'll be between the ring or the pinky, regardless of which one it will be, the remaining one will serve as a replacement for the other. in that case i think keeping the ring finger would be more useful.
so the pinky it is.

I originally entered the options in a certain order, and then the code just scrambled the order. It's too annoying to go into the system to fix the order ><

I was about to vote pinky when I realized I was using it to secure the grasp of the phone at the bottom. The pinky is more independent than the ring and it widens the range of the hand.
I was originally gonna choose the pinky..
But it feels like I'm from a yakuza manga where they usually lose their pinkies..
Hahaha.. I know my reason are lame and not related..
In the end I chose the middle finger.. ? ? ?

Good luck using hotkeys and playing multiplayer shooters or strategy games well on the PC if you lose your left pinky.

I could never chose the middle finger and lose a way to easily express my hate to someone or the world.

Most votes are for the pinky...
They think, because it's the smallest, it's the least important one. The one they'd miss, the least.
Most people don't realise the importance of the pinky, how much it does, or how much strength and control it has, how much leverage...
The ring finger, on the other hand, doesn't really do much, and has very little independent control or strength.

I accept your reasoning. I need that left pinky for pc gaming. I think my right hand pinky would be the one. I seem to use my ring finger on the right hand more to type and move my mouse while my right pinky floats most of the time

My right hand (dominant) pinky kind of sucks. I don't even type with it most of the time. It hovers or sticks straight out when I hold my phone and coffee cups, too. I however wouldn't give up my left pinky... idk, maybe it's been trained through typing and gaming to be more useful than my right one.

Even as a massive computer nerd, who spends most of his time in front of his computer, I'm kinda disturbed by how computer-only-focused, your reasoning is.
Also, you can learn to use your pinky instead of your ring finger, for the things that you do with your ring finger.
The reverse... simply isn't physically possible.

Yeah I chose the ring finger too, the pinky is much more important than peoplewould think.
