    This is so weird, I’ve used Google translate on this image several times and keep getting different results for what the ticker says. I’ve gotten:

    • It’s time to go on a long-term cruise.
    • The truth is that the ship is not under the influence of the wind, and the ship is not under the influence of the wind.
    • The last thing I want to do is to go to the bathroom.
    • And the noise is not that loud, it …

    I also got something about the bottom of the ocean being a layer of sand on top of another layer of sand, but didn’t get a chance to copy it

    Wtf is going on here?

      It’s just gibberish in Arabic script. The pc they wrote it on doesn’t even support Arabic as the letters don’t join up.

      Ain’t that the truth.

        The truth is that the ship is not covered with a shipwreck, and the ship is not covered with a shipwreck.

      It’s random letters. The font-rendering is not correct and all the letters are disjoined (whereas Arabic is cursive with different shapes for letter at the start, middle or end of the word).

      Arabic also doesn’t write most vowels. So imagine an AI making sense of something that would have just enough vowels to understand if it weren’t for the lack of spaces between the words, with the twist that the letters are actually completely random.

      Edit: actually it seems to be actual text rendered backwards
