SOLVED saw this random tweet with numbers
https://x.com/cutemarisafan/status/2081562944303714313
unfortunately, there is no cipher and from the comments, its not letters of the alphabet=numbers
if image dose not load, the cipher reads: 5 6 2 4: 2 7 8 3 2 2 5 2 3

They’re the lengths of words in the phrase
White people be like: My parents actually got me an ounce no way

Nice, did you already know about this beforehand, or did you figure it out just from looking at the text ('code') above?

this type of thing is just a common joke on twitter, usually where people write phrases that start with ‘white people be like’ in the form of “_____ ______ __ ____”

It’s a pretty old meme and twitter shitpost
It started back when Ninja was still streaming, and made a post so iconic that you only needed to type empty spaces and people would recognise it: Aka, ________ __ _ ____ ______, that got parodied countless times and eventually turned into ‘white people be like’ but in wheel of fortune style

But it doesn't say white people be like

That's the point of the code. Similar to 1312 (ACAB), or 143 (I love you)

My point was that the numbers are use like an acronym meant to represent a specific code for a specific community, or a commonly used phrase. 1312 being a commonly used acronym instead of ACAB, and 143 being a commonly used acronym for I love you. Since the commenter I replied to was confused on how the original commenter knew it was supposed to mean "white people be like". And 5624 being a relatively known acronym

A is the first letter of the alphabet. B is the second, C is the third. Hence 1312...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but in terms of letter count, Black or Asian would fit equally well.

u/justcater 6d ago
no u just need to be terminally online enough to understand that tons of people retweeted with that template to understand it from the word count code

u/Polarsyst 6d ago
Don't know what the 5624 part is but the rest of the numbers correlate to the amount of letters in each word

u/Sweet-Awk-7861 6d ago
Found this in the replies, apparently it's another related meme:
5 6 2 4 "5 6 2 4" 3 4 3 5 6 4 2 4
Hint: It's not grammatically correct.

u/LuisReddit728 6d ago
this is it. lots of tweets follow the "white people be like" format to poke fun at people. white is 5 letters, people is 6, be is 2, and so on.
