The first three letters are D N T, but the last two don't appear to be valid characters. Caveat, I'm just using online references, I don't actually know Braille.

[–] fiat_lux@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's valid contracted Braille. The last two characters are out/ou and ch.

I didn't know contracted Braille was a thing. See? I said I didn't really know Braille. Thanks for teaching me something!

[–] fiat_lux@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

No problem! The extra fun part is that ch can also be the abbreviation for child, although the spacing and context obviously settles that ambiguity. So, you could maybe read this as "do not toutchild" if you wanted to be silly.

When I was in college and playing way to much endgame Pokemon content, I learned to read braille... By looking at it. I've lost the ability over the years from lack of use, though.

Worst superpower ever.

That does not look like brail no me.

Is this slop or am I wrong?

This do not touch tag is a 3d print, the print creator says they made it using a braille translator website. Other braille "Do Not Touch" tags use some different braille letters for parts, and I don't know enough about it to tell what the difference is. (edit: it's contracted braille)

Regardless, doesn't seem to be an AI image.___

If you enter "do not touch" in an online braille translator it produces the characters for ,d n t|* for some reason...

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

Apparently it's contracted braille.

Contracted (Grade 2) braille is used by more experienced braille users. It uses the same letters, punctuation and numbers as uncontracted (Grade 1) braille but adds a series of special signs to represent common words or groups of letters, a bit like a kind of shorthand.

Books, magazines and other information tends to be produced in contracted braille, to cut down on size. Contracted braille produces much less bulky books and magazines.

It's a frame copied from a video

[–] hyacin@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is the video slop? Because this sure looks like slop.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No, it's not. There are more example of someone who had only one job

etc

I'm not sure you're clear on what "slop" is, or what we're asking? All the things you posted in your reply are real photos, the original picture in this post looks like 'AI'-generated slop.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

As said, it's a screenshot from a longer video about problems by impaired people. No "slop".
