Lol As good a reason as any to throw something away. TU
As for making a guitar left-handed, you'll need to reverse the bridge and the nut. The nut is glued in and probably won't come out in one piece. The bridge may or may not be glued in. I'd suggest taking it to a guitar shop for the work. It may cost you $20 for the nut (new nut and installation). I don't know about the bridge. Even then, the pickguard will be in the wrong spot.
I'm a lefty and I play right-handed. I like that I have better control over the hand that does the fretting, but I'm not remotely good. To be GOOD, it's going to take literally thousands of hours of learning and practicing. Just a heads up.

To me, the typical "righty" setup favors left-handed players as your left hand does the dextrous work on the fretboard, while the right hand is only involved in much less demanding strumming.

In closing I highly recommend this acoustic, they are great little guitars for anyone, newbie or experienced. They both played well out of the box, acceptable action, even the strings are decent (no mention of the string brand). Keep in mind that Tom Scholz played a $100 import acoustic on Bostons first album according to him.

Also another version from this brand (w/ a cuyaway) on Amazon received comments from someone complaining it is a laminate top.
So ... don't fall for it yet just because you thought you are getting a solid top guitar. Do your DD. Even if they allow return it is a hassle if you have to do that. FYI.
I assume you are interested in Steel String acoustic guitars. Nylon strings guitars usually have a wider nut width than steel strings if you go for that.
For steel strings "1-11/16" and "1-3/4" inch nut width are most common. There are some that comes in "1-7/8" inch as well (mostly designed as a fingerstyle guitar).
But many big/fat fingers are playing "1-11/16" nut acoustics without any issue. Your technique is the key here. Grab some guitars in your actual hands with someone who is more experienced as a start and go from there. You may not need to worry about "guitar for fat fingers" if you have the right technique.
