    It’s a “fuck off” bracelet. It says “fuck off” in Morse code.

        Least surprising post of the day.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          It was red and white. Matched my Coke shirts.

          Please love yourself.

            Sloppy and pathetic work. There are no delimiters between the letters, hence there's no way to decode it. For instance, the " . . - ." from the first letter could just as well mean "eete" instead of "f". As an engineer, I'm disgusted. They should have at least used a prefix-free code if they don't want to encode delimiters.

            (@George-K how's that for an even less surprising post?)

              True. There's nothing at all surprising in this thread

                How many engineers with information encoding expertise would hand-make jewelry?

                  Silence is the delimiter. Duh!

                          I'd put it in a way that doesn't require any shared knowledge of codes.

                          Something like this:
                          172fba61-3618-4eaa-9716-6b40a12ed80f-image.png
                          but with appropriate modifications to make sure that it comes across as F U in all languages and civilizations, whether humanoid or extraterrestrial.
