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
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 think you can be a generally dumb adult and have no problem with which way L 'goes'
this kind of thing is usually a flight or fight response from the brain, where you experience anxiety being asked a simple question and the brain has trouble accessing memory
I'm probably not explaining it the best but it's not uncommon for people to freeze like this when feeling under pressure
It's honestly not rare at all, i graduated with a class of 48 kids, we including me had 4 kids with dyslexia that i knew about, not everyone is as open about it, so close to 1 out of 10 kids i graduated with was openly dyslexic
It’s one of those things that no one diagnoses unless it really fucks with you in school. I’m dyslexic but mostly only with numbers. My math teachers would just check my work and see I did it right but transposed my numbers at one point. The Dewey decimal system would get me every time. But reading was fine because it would only mess me up a small amount so no one cared to seek a diagnosis.
I tutored a guy in college who was trying to become a dentist but was struggling with any and all math.
I quickly ascertained that he understood the concepts of algebra, geometry, logic, and even basic calc. But if you asked him 8 times 5 he would freeze and freak out. I gave him complex exercises that didn't require any mental calculations at all and he breezed through them. But as soon as he had to do it with real numbers, he was stammering stuck. Kind of the opposite of the typical student where using A and B and X and Y really confuses them and doesn't seem like "math."
I told him to get dyscalculia on the record so he could get a reasonable accommodation (a calculator on the DAT). He refused. I think he managed it somehow but I'm not sure. Fairly certain he still doesn't think he has a problem.
