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 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.
It’s reft and light

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?

Fuck is this shit?
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.
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.
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.
just make em a little thicker and it can be port and starboard

Nah, all need to do for that is remember the port and left are both four letter words.
Front = Bow, fore
Back = Stern, aft
If you don't get it right, I'll throw your ass out the little round window on the side!

but which side??!??!?
Why do we need a different word for left and right when we ready have the words left and right?
Because port/starboard refers to the left/right side of the ship, regardless how the person orientated. If you are facing the front of the ship, then yes, port = left. If you are facing the back of the ship, port = right. So it is very handy to have words that always refer to the same part of the ship.
(All the other terms, like front/bow and stern/rear, who cares? I dunno.)
I never really understand nautical terms. Wall? No, that's a bulkhead. Port, left, starboard, right. Bow, front, aft, rear. There are so many more, and I truly believe it is just to show who's a sailor and who isn't. (I also enjoy every time Dresden makes fun of this then slowly starts to do it himself)
I mean, if it works, it works.
looks at pic
shrugs
Right?
Right?
Do you mean Left?
No, your other left
Cosmo and Wanda hanging out on the thumbs, you can't fool me this time
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
Them: just make an L with your fingers for left
Me as a kid: shit... Why can't I remember which way L faces!?
Holy shit, the comments on this post have me worried for you all.
I hear that all the time.

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."
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.
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!
Your left hand makes an L with your thumb and forefinger
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
She's a keeper
