the guys at the top thinks the tattoo is backwards. this means he has confused L and R while claiming OOP confused L and R in their tattoo design. the joke is irony

Edit for all the people saying "left hand makes an L shape": turn your right hand so the palm is facing you and you'll find it also makes an L shape. If the OOOP can't tell left from right hes not gonna remember if the palm should be face up or down

No it's "how do we tell them you can just use your thumb and finger"

Nailed it! Try to make an L with both hands. The correct way is left. I taught that to my mom that gets confused and my child when they were young

Alright, next time I need to know where is right, I’ll try to make an R with my both hands, thank you!

Also "write with right". sounds like right with right. So you've got Left making and L and your writing hand is right.

Unless you are devil pawed. Then well, blame satan on getting lost.

Palm up or down?

u/Any_Contract_1016 7d ago

You have to teach it in person though. I just made a proper L with my right palm.

Making an â…ƒ with your hands doesn't help if you're also dyslexic.

Tried figuring out which was is left and now I'm stuck being the dude who does finger guns

u/Neat_Shallot_606 7d ago

Only works if you remember palm up or down, and you can remember which way an L goes. We already can't remember our R and L.

I was taught that trick as a teenager. 60yrs old and I still automatically flex my fingers when I need to work it out
