No way some tattooer wouldn't have caught this unless they're somehow just as dyslexic... Seems fake

The Sun is trash. They will straight up lie to post stories like this and they thrive on people sharing them on social media. Same with Daily Mail and other British rags. It is a very successful tactic. These stories seem to get a lot of mileage online.

Didn't open it huh. They show L and R correctly. Some memer is the one that swapped them.

Wow yeah, I found the original, and you can see the L is on the left and R is on the right:

It wants to play a video which has DRM protection, so it wants to know stuff about you in case the DRM should block your access to the video.

Holy shit what a scummy kind of pay wall. "Pay to reject personalized advertisements." No, fuck off The Sun.

Them: just make an L with your fingers for left

Me as a kid: shit... Why can't I remember which way L faces!?

To this day I have problems telling left from right.

I will go the correct direction when I'm driving, and point the correct direction, but I will often say the wrong direction.

One friend tried to help me by telling me that "Right is the hand that you write with", but I'm left-handed.

Fortunately, I have a massive scar on my arm from where my arm was shattered into three places, and that scar is on my right arm, so every time I'm about to tell someone directions, I end up tapping the scars on my arms until I find the correct scar, and then I know that direction is right so I can point in the right direction.

I had real trouble for a long time, but I can always glance down at my hand and see the L made by my left index finger and thumb. Eventually I could see it in my head. I memorize things with visual cues somehow IDK.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 month ago

Right/Left Confusion is very common. I have it, too.

People like us tend to say "No, your other left."

Your left hand makes an L with your thumb and forefinger

[–] renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm afraid the people who struggle to tell left from right apart will also have a problem remembering which way the letter L bends

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Is the backwards L used in any languages?

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

Your left hand is where your thumb is on the right.

My wife has a freckle on her right hand. It's the only way she can tell left from right. Ask her for directions and watch her eyes check the back of her hands.

[–] lifeinlarkhall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I still hold my fingers in the L shape like I was taught as a kid to figure it out a lot of the time!

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Playstation controller prompts with L/R solved this issue for me in English, but on my main language the directions are called "Sağ/Sol" which I still sometimes get wrong

[–] gnawmon@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 month ago

i think you got it wrong there again :p

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Which language is that? I want to check the etymology.

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Turkish apparently

To me it worked with mouse clicks. Right click does X left click does Y. The mouses right is the same as my right.

[–] jbellows@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, if it works, it works.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Is she a lefty?

I had this problem for a long time because teachers saying your right hand is the one you write with.

Cosmo and Wanda hanging out on the thumbs, you can't fool me this time
