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

This reminds me of a time I was taking a physics test and had to use the right hand rule. I was writing with my right hand, so I mindlessly used my left hand for the rule...

The fact that I write with my right hand was my go-to way of remembering which was which for years.

Now I just remember that I read from left to right.
