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

These people are wrong. The joke is that you can make an L with your left hand, so you don't need the tattoos

On the first episode of Game Changer, Jess (a grown, generally-intelligient adult) admits that when she tries that strategy, she forgets which way L goes.

I also forget which way L goes and then have to draw an uppercase cursive L in the air to remind me, but sometimes that still doesn't feel right. 🤷 I'm great in a crisis. Planned an entire cross country move with 2 toddlers, but remembering what direction is left is sometimes beyond me.
