What should replace the handshake? 2

The handshake is anachronistic practice from the good ole days that came about so you could see that someone had no weapon when you met them on craigslist to buy their horse and buggy. I never really liked handshakes, you get those goobers who think bone crushing you proves their dominance. Today I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a while it was awkward, clearly it was a handshake moment, and both of us gave off super weird "I like you but don't touch me" vibes. So what alternatives are there?
Just stay the fuck away and wave. The safest option on the list.

Fist bump, slightly better than a handshake but still touching hands

Elbow bump. I saw Mike Mike Pence do it and looked like an old white guy trying to be cool. We have to remember this will be for everyone not just your hipster douchbag buddies at the starbucks

salute, just like the military you never joined you lazy pot head

Finger guns. I like this one "pew pew pew" sounds are optional

Air kisses. I used to live in the French part of Canada and kiss kiss was this weird thing everyone does, even guys, you get used to it. This is the same but no touching. We have to consider things like will this take off in Texas. I can't see two good old boys doing it.

Bow. Like in Japan but without all their crazy rules about who bows more or longer.

Curtsy. About goddamn time that came back.

The Foot tap AKA the Wuhan shake. Practical, unless you have mud on your boots.

Namaste it could be used for more than just Yoga class is over

Kancho is "clasping the hands together in the shape of an imaginary gun and attempting to poke an unsuspecting victim's anus, often while exclaiming "Kan-CHO!" It is almost certainly considered sexual assault by the law. We have a chance to really change things in society, lets go all all out...

Fell free to add you own, ie jazz hands, vulcan salutes, hip bump etc

I enjoy a good handshake. You can tell a lot about a person by there handshake.
Only thing i don't like is if they're doing one of the variations of the classic handshake. I can do some but it can be awkward if you guess which way there going wrong. Then it's like shit this person's probably always going to think of me as the dude who shakes hands like a douche.

I've leapt into good friends arms that I haven't seen in long periods of time. I definitely enjoy a good hug.

I like the foot tap. Haven't seen it before

Neonazis are way ahead of this with a greeting pioneered in the 1930s 
They can't get it to catch on though.

I like to do the double hand or off hand wave, since most people can't wave very well with their non dominant hand it looks a little silly and will make the person recieving the wave smile.

Can be combined with jazz hands

I came in this thread with a well thought out argument in favor of traditional handshaking still, but I've been defeated by this solution right here.

You both get a cracker and jerk off on it, then you both stick them together like an Oreo and split it in half for both of you to keep as a symbol of brotherhood.
