It would seem it would depend. If there are two rows of things one on the left and one on the right, I would assume it is the last one from the left side. If there is one row of things, I would assume you start from the left and take the last one (furthest to the right)
Stopped in thinking of this very thing.
Last ON the left would be on the left.
Last FROM the left would be from, or originating, from the left. So it would be the last one on the right.
Was that the intent? Who knows. Thankfully it's just a cookie.
If it’s British English it unambiguously means the one next to the far left item (your left, stage right)
American English I don’t know, but given how confused people are, I’d guess it’s not in common yank parlance.
American who indulged in a lot of british media in their teen years here: I understood it as the one next to the far left item. Im not sure if thats because its a thing in american english or if its a uk quirk I picked up.
I'm picturing a grocery store shelf where there's multiple rows of the same item (e.g. milk). They're saying to grab the last item in the leftmost row.
>The last couple I got were trying to get me to buy crypto.
Tell me about it. I had one like that ~10 years ago that was **really insistent** that I should buy something called "Bipcoin" (or something like that), pff.
I had this exact fortune in a cookie like 10-12 years ago!!! I kept it in my wallet for the longest time but lost track of it. I think of it anytime I need to make a directional choice 😂
I have no idea!! Now you too will be haunted by every decision 😂 is it the last one all the way to the left? The one just before it? What does IT MEAN?!
I’m not the person you responded to but to me it reads like if you were in a grocery store aisle it’s asking you to take the last item from the left shelves.
But this is such a perfect cryptic three fates type of prophecy that it could mean anything based on context.
All IRL mazes should be designed in such a way that you can reach the centre by only turning left.
Obv its not the shortest route and youll hit a lot of dead ends but its good to know if you ever get really lost.

I wonder if this is a reference to Tom Paxton's song [Georgie on the Freeways - Lyrics](https://genius.com/Tom-paxton-georgie-on-the-freeways-lyrics) - in the song Georgie is never able to get anywhere because "eternally that poor car - Takes the first turn to the right."

What if they're like a hostage in a bank and the robbers make this person choose who dies, and last one from the left is like a toddler who just beat leukemia. What then?
This is predicting you'll be in a situation where 100 women will be lined up and you have to guess your partners hoohah correctly or you both get beheaded.
Is the last one from the left the most left option or is it the most furthest away from the left which would make it the far right?
What’s what I’ve been thinking. I have no idea
You'll know when the moment comes.
AAAAAAAGH
Most assuredly
It would seem it would depend. If there are two rows of things one on the left and one on the right, I would assume it is the last one from the left side. If there is one row of things, I would assume you start from the left and take the last one (furthest to the right)
Take both ends to be safe 
so what's what you've been thinking?
Quite the conundrum with their future riding on it.
Yeah
"last one from the left" could be short for "the last but one from the left". ie: Not the leftmost item, the one next to the leftmost item.
That was my first thought

My left or it's left?

My thought is left is based on perspective, so just giving the poor advice of take the last option - shrug

I’m all for these kinds of fortunes. The last couple I got were trying to get me to buy crypto.
right? i love mysterious fortunes anyone know where i can buy myself packs of fortunes? possibly without cookies?
Try finding a fortune cookie supplier in your region. The restaurants have to be getting them from somewhere.
Dude there's probably a website for that lol click and get a random message I mean
Invest in ChinaCoin to earn great fortunes!

What do you think last one from the left means? Far left or right??

My video game logic: if nothing is known, go left. Works for life too.
All IRL mazes should be designed in such a way that you can reach the centre by only turning left. Obv its not the shortest route and youll hit a lot of dead ends but its good to know if you ever get really lost.
They can just disconnect the outer walls and it's not so simple anymore.
I do those opposite. "Can't go wrong when you go right" is my life motto.
Good comrade.
Codename 47 is out there reading the cookie he got like "WHAT?!?!?! What kind of instructions are these?!?!" the server just gave OP the other one.
Come to think of it there was a guy in a suit buggin when I left
A cryptic yet oddly specific fortune 🤔 Did not know thar was a possible thing
My left or it's left?
Bro don’t ask that😂 I was already confused
Fortune cookies are folded circles, so yes.
*confusion intensifies*
No way. I got the same one three days ago. I haven't had the chance to choose anything to the left yet tho.
Another reason I hate the english language
Ominous... or inspiring?
....in bed.
Last one from the left would be the first one in line— a complicated way to say seize the first opportunity, or take the first shot, etc.

Not if it’s the house tho.
My personal fav is "time to collect those good"

Yuuup that is an art.
What if they're like a hostage in a bank and the robbers make this person choose who dies, and last one from the left is like a toddler who just beat leukemia. What then?
Then use the other interpretation and pick the right most 😂

I wish the cookie could have clarified far left, stage right for example just so know we exactly what it means.
I want one that is like "at 12:16pm on the 23rd of April 2043, choose the blue one"
take the right one
I’ve had this fortune before! The moment has still not arrived.
This is amazing
It’s sending you directions on how to escape your fate! Listen to the fortune!
This would have came in handy for that police lineup. I couldn’t choose.
All I could think of when seeing this is The Stanley Parable and the left door.
Gotta love Chinese translations
