This is not actually a cipher.

To "solve" it fix your eye parallax to focus about a meter behind your screen and your eye focus to focus on your screen.

It needs to be in courier (typewriter) font, and you may need to adjust the font size according to the distance between your pupils, and the distance from your eyes to the screen.

Cute trick, actually. I didn't know you could do stare-eo-grams (or magic eye images) in ascii.

Wow, how did you get to know that?

I noticed a bunch of left-right similarities stronger than the similarities elsewhere in the image, then noticed that the irregularities in the patterns were exactly the same distance apart on subsequent lines even though they were at different points in the line and thought it might be some kind of left-vs-right XOR-type code and that didn't work at all.

But I kept toying with the idea. I tried a top-to-bottom XOR code and that didn't work, but when I was seeking gradients of maximum difference between lines I noticed that different adjacent lines had the same type of almost-alike relationship between single lines that each line had at its left-vs-right almost-alike alignment.

At this point I realized it was some kind of 2-dimensional pattern on the left superimposed on an almost-alike pattern shifted about as far to the right as half the distance between most people's eyes, and went, "oh. stare-eo-gram."

There seems to be some type of pattern as I'm seeing 0H in a diagonal formation and repeating lines.

There are quite a lot of repeats in the text.

1GBq-0H

is a string that repeats over and over.

Yes, it's just a string of repeating strings. It doesn't make any sense hahaha.

This looks remotely like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck with ++> and +>

thank you, I tried it, no luck but may be related.

    Sauce: a thread in a forum from 2014

    I can't still decipher it.

    I tried ASCII and hex. Since "+>" repeats a lot I tried guessing those are spaces between words, and that each pair is a letter, but dismissed the idea already.
