I’m at a total loss as to what is the correct way to read it

Start from bottom left and go clockwise

My guess is it starts on top left, then moves right, then goes down all the way to bottom right, and comes full circle to the left and back up.

So “doesn’t make you look any better making me look bad”.

The title of the crosspost (and mentioned in the description here) is the equation y=-x² which has a graph that starts at lower left, goes up to 0, then down to lower right.

This gives the intended reading order.

I was wondering what that was supposed to mean. It’s ages ago since I dealt with math graphs

Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.
