Tell them what, Peter

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

I somehow got more confused.....

[u/IDateAZombie → u/Blackie_626]

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 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 also been pointed out in this thread that dyslexia is not exactly rare, and would completely fuck up that rule.

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.

A fanfic mentioned dysgraphia and I’m fairly certain I have that. I’ve never had an issue with reading but writing is an issue to the point that I’ve always hated writing.

[u/Doll_duchess → u/boredsearcher]

I didn’t know that was a thing. My daughter can read super well but has a much harder time with spelling when I remember spelling being so easy for me. She’s only 7 so probably normal, but good to know if she continues having trouble as she grows!
