- FpUser 6y agoThank you so much. I had troubles understanding the original but this makes it perfectly clear bar couple of errors.
- compscistd 6y agoRarely have I see ROT13 in the wild. A surprisingly sipid and not at all nocuous way of earthing spoilers.
- _wldu 6y agoIf you double rot 13, they'll never crack it!
- jpmattia 6y agoThey won't even try to crack it!
- jolmg 6y agoUnfortunately, it only makes sense to use with this type of crowd. I can't imagine it'd be that useful for spoilers in other groups that don't have easy access to a ROT13 encoder. EDIT: BTW, is there another ROT13 encoder in a typical linux installation besides vim's g? command or emacs's rot13* commands? EDIT2: Looks like the most practical one is: tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m'
- ghaff 6y agoMore common with HTML is to set the text to the same color as the background which allows you to see it when you highlight. (Which is probably easier in general.)
- klodolph 6y agoI see a lot more ROT13 text on Twitter when people want to make comments about recently released media.
- foobarian 6y agoWhat good is a ROT13 encoder? They would need a ROT13 decoder.
- jolmg 6y agoSame exact thing...
- nl 6y agoTo the people downvoting: 13 is half 26. If you Rot13 "encode" something twice it ends up with the cleartext. Try it here if you don't believe me: https://rot13.com/ https://rot13.com/
- winstonewert 6y agoI think the downvotes are because that's the joke.
- jolmg 6y agoIf they're joking. I'm still on the fence on that. The thing with text is that you can't really hear the sarcastic tone of voice, and people are so varied, it's believable that one isn't aware, as at least one user has mentioned here[1]. It's always best to just append an /s or a :P or something. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25461026 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25461026

- hyperpallium2 6y agoPut this stine state into https://rot13.com/ https://rot13.com/ BTW Never noticed before, but because 13*2 = 26, rot13 is both encoder and decoder.
- Xavdidtheshadow 6y ago> rot13 is both encoder and decoder Hence its popularity for very light obfuscation!
- simonblack 6y agoWorks with my 'rot18' decoder too. 'rot13' only works with the alphabet. 'rot18' can do the same thing with numbers too, so rot13 + rot5 = rot18. Pointless trying to obfuscate info if you can still see the numbers part 'en clair' to give the game away. (bank PINs, phone numbers, etc) Need to obfuscate the digits too.
- raldi 6y agoThis comment is much funnier if you pretend it's not rot13.
