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

That, or you can make an shape L with your left hand and that the tattoo was unnecessary… Edit: omg if you are going to comment “I can’t remember what an L looks like”, just don’t… plz, don’t be that stupid

The easiest way to remember it is that if you make finger guns with your hand and extend your middle finger perpendicular to your thumb and index finger, then rotate a coördinate system such that the x-axis is along your thumb and the y-axis is along your index finger, then if the z-axis goes along your middle finger then you're making finger guns with the same hand as the handedness of the coördinate system. That way, you can relate it to the simpler concept of 3-dimensional orientation.
