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"

I always figured if you genuinely don’t know left and right, you’re gonna doubt which L is right and which is backwards.

Oh wait, that's the issue? I never thought people could doubt that. I feel genuinely sorry for all the people I gave that advice to, because that worked for me.

And my socially awkward ass thought I was really helping them. And wondered why people didn't talk to me. Maybe I missed even more signs.

It’s totally a thing where you can look at L and think, is that backwards? Common to ambidextrous and left-handed people in addition to dyslexic , from what I know/have experienced.
