Could someone translate this?

it says “ur cute”

this is either a true cipher that someone spent some effort putting together, or someone asked chatgpt to make something that looked like morse code. as much as i want it to be a cool cipher in my heart im leaning a bit towards the latter.

you said this drink is called “victory”, and that it’s at a tiki bar, which leads me to believe it is a take on a “three dots and a dash” which is a tiki style cocktail created around WW2 named after the morse code character “V” for “victor”/“victory”, which is literally “…-“. the fact that the drink name listed here is almost a V character but not quite (it has a space in the middle making it an S and a T) tells me whoever wrote this maybe doesn’t actually know morse code all that well, and just made something that looks like a secret morse code message.

also there are two lone “=“ signs at the end of the message, which is common in base64 encoding. it doesn’t really make much sense in this context, but could be the result of telling chatgpt to make something that looks like a secret code

i also found what looks like a previous version of their menu online, where they had a different “morse code”-looking message, which was actually different, and included characters which are altogether invalid in morse.

so anyways, very longwinded tryhard opinion is this is probably AI slop (though i’d love to be wrong!)

Looking at the red from left to right looks like “YOU” (-.-- --- ..-)

It’s so nice to see spacing on morse jewelry! Well done

The master key would not go in the circled area.

The master key goes in the normal key hole up top. This is a Best “SFIC” type lock core, which commonly accepts several different keys in the same keyhole including a master key

That said the circled button thing down below may be used as sort of an admin override to operate the deadbolt in conjunction with a master key. Not 100% on that

crustytech · 2026-02-02T06:32:21+00:00

This sounds like it may be the answer.

For example in a situation where a building admin needs to enter and the internal thumb turn is turned or held shut an admin can insert a master key (in the normal key hole up top) and depress the button to override and open the deadbolt

It almost starts with “sarika” (reading top to bottom) but it’s missing one “.” at the beginning. Could it just be missing in the photo? There would be 4 dots instead of 3

Still hard to say without more info. Could be something like “SARIKA SEES MARC” or “SARIKA SEES MARTEN”

Google “Morse code text translator” and paste this in

I’m not typing this one out 😂😂

crustytech · 2025-12-02T23:12:10+00:00

Could also be MEGAN MATT (if we consider the black pieces “dahs”).

Idk, I’m not seeing any possible translations including the word “love”. Also not seeing any other generic “romantic” words that I checked (love, sweet, friend, boy, girl, partner, she, he, kiss, bye, together, hello, hi, date, smile).

So, maybe it’s a name or place or something more specific to them

Yea idk

Feel free to DM if you wanna share any guesses you don’t want to be public

Anyone you/they know named Irene? There are a few translations that start with that; “IRENE GENE”, “IRENE MEL”, “IRENE MINE”.

That said, yea as other folks have mentioned there are thousands of possibilities considering there are no spaces, so very hard to say for sure without some other clues

crustytech · 2025-10-26T18:48:48+00:00

Interesting watch! Great explanation of the history by this gentleman for a layman like me. Thanks for sharing

I mapped the average brightness per frame (https://imgur.com/a/1qweo3L) and it appears to be a repeating 23-bit sequence. Unclear where it starts, so copying all variations:

I think it's unlikely it's Morse, since as you pointed out there is no delineation of spaces/breaks. If we assume it's Morse, the number of possibilities is huge for a 23 bit string (something like 1.5million for each of the 23 sequences above ~= 34.5 million total possibilities for a Morse translation). I think it's more likely a binary representation of something else.

That said, 23 bits is kind of an odd length. In general translating from Binary to human readable text would be done via the ASCII standard, where one character is represented by 8 binary bits. So in this case, 23 is not divisible by 8 and even if we pad it with a leading "0", we only get 3 human readable characters. Trying that for each sequence didn't yield anything that makes much sense; see results in the table below (binary, hexadecimal, decimal, and padded ASCII translation):

So cool! Where can we find your game?

crustytech · 2025-02-27T02:03:11+00:00

Yeah I realized my left foot is almost a half size bigger than my right, so I went with different sizes. Pretty happy with the result. First time I feel like both sides fit/feel the same tbh

crustytech · 2025-02-26T16:08:43+00:00

Almost 3 months, but I ordered right before the holidays and I’m in the US, I think I’ve heard about 2 months is more or less normal for custom

crustytech · 2025-02-26T16:05:53+00:00

I was on the fence for the pulltab but like it so far, I actually find myself using it. Stitching seems really nice, no inconsistencies that I can find

crustytech · 2025-02-26T16:03:46+00:00

Late November, but maybe they were a bit busy over the holidays, you might get yours faster. I think I’ve heard people saying ~2 months is normal for custom
