u/TheBingage 1d ago

This looks like it
Especially translating the first one to
Fuck you
Lmao
Get bent

u/RyNysDad0722 14h ago

You left out that last part… just couldn’t type it huh?

u/TheBingage 14h ago

He didn't tell us the translation of the other one.

But I did write it in another comment.

u/katreth 1d ago

Oh yeah it totally is actually

u/katreth 1d ago

Is the red a response?

u/katreth 1d ago

u/trash-bagdonov 1d ago

Nearly 30 years ago I was trying to show my friends how T9 texting worked. I tried to text "I like cows" without looking, and sent it to my friend. He received it, looked down, and chuckled slightly, saying, "I knew it."

56

u/GeneralSpecifics9925 1d ago

Remember how good we were at that? I remember being in dirty chat rooms, typing out filthy things like 4446 7777666 9338

31

u/bobsmith93 18h ago edited 16h ago

That's alpha. Typing that in t9 (that I miss dearly) would be 46 0 76 0 938. It's been many years but I think I could still type faster one-handed with t9 than I can on a touchscreen with swype

23

u/Clembert-Hamlamp 1d ago

The manure on your shoes probably gave it away but that's some serious maturity regardless. My friends would've been calling me cowfucker for the rest of my life.

u/Dish_Minimum 1d ago

COWS on T9 shares the same number sequence as BOYS

u/trash-bagdonov 19h ago

You got it, cowboy!

Hey i still give a buddy velcro gloves every few years. Not a cow thing but other fluffy wooly for legged creatures... That's a story for another day tho!

u/Zimlun 22h ago

... Gosh I feel old, because when I saw it I recognized it as the Standard Galactic Alphabet from the Commander Keen series of games :P

u/chaospockets109 22h ago

I still remember the Grand Intellect's letter to Keen from Keen 5... core memory watching my Dad play the series when I was little.

8

u/Zimlun 22h ago

I spent hours and hours as a kid figuring out that alphabet, only to discover that close to the end of Keen 3 you can find a school area with the entire alphabet translated for you. Haha, and I totally took the time to decipher the letter from the Grand Intellect.

u/rotg20 15h ago

I color-coded it...well, that's something.

u/Sufficient_Gift_6749 10h ago

That's identical to the picture of the Minecraft enchanting table at the top of the post lol

u/WajajaKEKW 20h ago

Do they just randomly throw in some japanese and korean characters?

11

u/Time_Traveling_Idiot 16h ago

Regarding Korean, I see some that may match somewhat:

ㄴ, ㅓ, ㅔ, ㄱ.. maybe a flipped ㄷ... but honestly that just looks like a coincidence.

Okay, I can totally see the Minecraft enchanting table resemblance. Now I’m just picturing someone walking up to it expecting a Protection IV book.

It's the standard galactic alphabet, it predates Minecraft by ~20 years

It even close to Hangul. Not even upside down.

That’s what Gemini concluded it was. Interestingly enough though, it’s basically the same message.

u/hulyenblue 1d ago

I feel old recognizing the Standard Galactic Alphabet from Commander Keen instead of Minecraft, lol

18

u/Sudo-rm 1d ago

Thank you. Minecraft enchanting table language was an homage to the earlier Commander Keen.

u/CriticalHit_20 1d ago

Fuck! I actually learned this fuckass cypher and i'm too late to the post!

u/rorobinbin111 16h ago

u/AdmiralMemo 5h ago

Standard Galactic Alphabet, used in Commander Keen and Minecraft, among other things

Minecraft / sga but wrong?

Edit: nah I think I'm right

u/katreth 1d ago

Great minds lol, there are definitely a few characters that are spot on though, could be some kind of nonsense code/language they made up based off of it

u/HeracliusAugutus 1d ago

The enchanting table does use the standard galactic alphabet

u/Strict_Purpose_3741 15h ago

it says "Fuck you lmao get bent loser I like men" and it is written in standard galactic alphabet

Top Section (Blue Marker)

This translates letter-by-letter to:

HOW REFRESHING
IS IT
NOT TO BE A BURDEN?

Bottom Section (Red Marker)

This translates letter-by-letter to:

I WANT TO
LEARN

u/TheBingage 1h ago

lol what now

u/SassNoob3001 14h ago

This looks like script hebrew with strange handwriting. It’s essentially cursive - rounded letters that make it easier for everyday writing.

1

u/Mindless_Umpire9198 1h ago

Ran it through "Google Lens", and below is what it said:

The writing in the image is the Standard Galactic Alphabet (SGA), a fictional script that serves as a simple substitution cipher for the standard Latin alphabet.

While it originally debuted in the 1991 retro video game series Commander Keen, it is most widely recognized by modern audiences as the Minecraft Enchanting Table language, where it is used to display randomized, cryptic names for tool and weapon enchantments.

u/gutwyrming 1d ago

That's totally Minecraft enchantment table language.

u/PristineAd9073 3h ago

This is not a language, it is MATH. I saw this on the chalkboard when my Dad was teaching at West Coast University. It is very, very advanced mathematical engineering language.

u/Advanced-Humor9786 1d ago

My dumb ass thought it was Tamishek then I looked at it for more than two seconds and realized it's Minecraft.

u/Callahan_Kid 1d ago

I rotated it 90° four times and put each of the images through google translate. They're probably all incorrect, but who knows!? These were the results:

Korean  Translation:  Happy Birthday!  From Sunmi.  Thank you for being born, teehee (giggle)!  Getting older, T_T  Won't age anymore / Not eating any more years! 

Hebrew  Translation: When will you come?  I've been waiting for a long time already...  I love you!"

Korean Translation #2: Let's get a 100!!  Fighting! I love you? No...  Hello!  Im Nayeon (Miyeon)

Korean Translation #3:  Hello! (Nice to meet you) I' m hungry, let's eat... What kind of delicious food is out there? T_T

u/Financial_Cup_6937 4h ago
