I hate that I’m saying this, but this would be handy for my wife. Except like, correct, ya know?
Picture is edited. She did it right, I mean her tattoo maker wanted to get paid ofc.
Yea, I didn’t take it seriously, but my wife… really bad at left vs right
I mean, if it works, it works.
looks at pic
shrugs
Right?Right?
Do you mean Left?
No, your other left
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
To me it worked with mouse clicks. Right click does X left click does Y. The mouses right is the same as my right.
Which language is that? I want to check the etymology.
Turkish apparently
Turkish
i think you got it wrong there again :p
Holy shit, the comments on this post have me worried for you all.
I hear that all the time.
It’s reft and light
Cosmo and Wanda hanging out on the thumbs, you can’t fool me this time
In the time and country I grew up, almost everyone had the same Converse style trainers at school for gym class. I thought I would mark mine to prevent mixing them with the rest, so I put my initials on the front: first initial on the left, second on the right. When I was done, I looked down at my feet and realised I had just written (the equivalent of) L and R on the according sides. Not smort.
The earliest memory of me playing a video game was some kids game where you had to water flowers to the left, right, etc. I remember being confused by it so I wrote left and right (or rather some scribblings) on a piece of paper so I could use it as reference.
I’ve made my own words for left and right using the image of the sun and shadows.
In Gaja we can see that shadows moves in one direction. We can call this direction sunwise. We can call the other other direction counter. So in fern to determine whether what is sunwise and counter, we have to know a little bit about the sun.
In this image, we can say that the hitten, that which is being hit, will always see their shadow move sunwise. The opposite direction would be counter.
What about at or beyond the equator from the language’s native region?
Does her left thumb have a frowney face on the thumbnail?
No way some tattooer wouldn’t have caught this unless they’re somehow just as dyslexic… Seems fake
Wow yeah, I found the original, and you can see the L is on the left and R is on the right:
But why is it in Russian?
Ah, good to know :)
slow news day huh
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.
I still feel like it’s kind of mean for the Sun to post this?
What if a future potential employer goes and Google’s her full name and finds it in the article saying “this person literally cannot tell the difference between left and right”
Why did they do that?
i literally don’t know, I just saw her name while looking for the photo, I can’t be arsed to read all that because I’m higher than midair kangaroo backflip pussy
They straight up lose defamation suits, “mean” is table stakes
News is News.
Fuck is this shit?
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.
They can kiss my ass.
I got: “Verifying your device, please wait. Verification failed. Please try again” behind a vpn.
They can go eat a bag of dicks.
ERROR! Please drink verification can.
Uhhh I have no idea
Holy shit what a scummy kind of pay wall. “Pay to reject personalized advertisements.” No, fuck off The Sun.
Who do you think switched them as a joke?
It’s been mirrored.
Wouldn’t the letters be backwards then? Or the watch on the other wrist? I feel more like “photoshopped” to be swapped
It’s mirrored twice so the letters are facing the correct way.
Next time just explain that.
No it’s from The Sun.
I see you haven’t met very many shitty tattoo artists. Many of them don’t give a shit and will just give the client exactly what they asked for.
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.
Right/Left Confusion is very common. I have it, too.
People like us tend to say “No, your other left.”
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.
I try that method but then have to sit there and think about what direction L should be pointing.
think of it like their alphabetical order (assuming reading left to right, of course). L is left of R, R is right of L.
I wrote so much as a child that my middle finger on my dominant hand is actually slightly deformed. Sometimes I still catch myself touching that messed up bone to remind myself which direction is which. :/
This is so bizzare to me. I can easily memorize people’s phone numbers, I can remember what I did a month ago, I can learn fucking JavaScript, but remembering which is my left hand? Hardest job ever
Have you considered getting a R tattoo on your left hand and a L tattoo on your right hand?
That would unironically work since in my language L means right
Are you me? My scar is from breaking it in 2 places, but all the rest lines up exactly. Left handed, good sense of actual direction, and even useless advice that only makes it more confusing.
It’s entirely possible. Are you a six foot one Native American dude?
If so, like, hate to break it to you, but we might have dissociative identity disorder.
What if it’s the opposite of DiD? Like it’s two bodies that believe they’re the same person?
Them: just make an L with your fingers for left
Me as a kid: shit… Why can’t I remember which way L faces!?
If I need to write certain single capital letters for labeling purposes there’s like a 30% chance I need to look up which way the letter faces because both ways feel correct to me.
That’s actually why I learned to just tell
