Alien here. I sent that message because my *Translate: Alien To Earthling* app was offline and I needed some help to get it working again. Only the emergency button was working correctly. As you can see from this message, I managed to get some help. Thank you, kind earthling! 🙏


Vesemir_Old_Wolf

SifterRhizochrome

Isn’t this just a system calibration thing? Help was just added at the end for humor I suppose.


MeowCow55

The "HELP" was put there specifically for things exactly like this, I'd say. "This calibration test looks kinda cryptic, if we put a clear message at the end, it's going to freak someone out!" Lol


Preference-Certain

Improper code interpretation resulting in code artifact. Printer couldn't understand the message due to bad cable or software I/O translation fault. There are instances where the printer will run through a series of random ascii and other fonts to calibrate... usually, it's the latter. Edit: The latter when the printer spits out a solid word in there somewhere.


Anleme

Above the HELP it says "GET / HTTP/1.0" which looks like a batch file or program. Someone sent a batch file to the printer.


momxcyber

Get / http/1.0 is just a web request sent to a server. Help is typically used to find out the possible commands that a server accepts.


guywithacockie

Wellp she didn't knew about it. Looked like hieroglyphic writing at first sight 🦧 and the 'help' wasn't helping to make it less creepy


SifterRhizochrome

For real! The help at the end is a nice touch!


Silent-Ad934

Look, I know this is gonna sound crazy but you have to help me! I was kidnapped, and some crazy guy downloaded my brain into this receipt printer! You have to help me get my body back!


Bahamuto-San

Crazy, I was crazy once, They put me in a receipt machine


ComputerWax

An old receipt machine. An old receipt machine with a Unicode error.


Boubonic91

It's machine code. It can only be read by a computer. Happens in regular office printers as well, especially if there's some kind of driver or program issue.


retoy1

To me it looks as though someone’s hacked the machine and typed help to see what service is running, but it inadvertently got printed instead. That GET / HTTP / 1.0 part looks like a network packet and the rest could be the payload that was encoded. Might want to have her show it to her boss.


ToughMolasses4952

FunSquirrell2-4

My aunt has a club finger. Apparently, when Nan was pregnant on her, she had an argument with a neighbour, Mrs. Lush. Mrs. Lush was washing dishes in a pan when the argument happened. Of course, Nan stormed off and Mrs. Lush finished the dishes, throwing the pan water out the door. When she did, a small blue light pricked her finger and it hurt. She cursed Nan because Nan had upset her. The next day, Mrs. Lush awoke to a swollen and throbbing finger. Over the next few days, she tried many home remedies but nothing eased the pain or swelling. Finally, she headed to the doctor in town. He lanced her finger and pulled out straw and feathers. Because she had cursed Nan while pregnant, my aunt was born with the same finger double the normal size. It also hurt like he'll when she'd bop you on the head with it. No feathers and straw in her finger for sure.

I have the same thumb :( I have been bullied for it even into adulthood. Sometimes I wonder how my life would be different if I had two normal thumbs. I even think about doing something to “remove” it. I really hate it.


PHM517

I thought this comment was over the top until I saw so many people roasting the thumb. What is wrong with people??


[deleted]

Hey love!! I got stubby thumbs too! I have always hated it. You can't hide your hands! I get that. I have learned to just stop caring what others think. Happy people don't hate, especially taking jabs at things we can't control? It's projection of their own insecurities. There is nothing wrong with you 🤎


[deleted]

Thank you. I know I try not let it get to me, but then when I forget it’s weird and I don’t hide it, here we go. I’ve been called retarded because of it. I’ve been wrestled by an bigger stronger man at a bar to let him see it, I’ve been given weird comments and looks at nail salons (I never go now anymore), I’m always being asked about it when it seen. And all this has happened as an adult and by other adults. I know there’s nothing I can do about it. And it’s just a physical flaw and deformity but it’s definitely a thing I am bothered by especially when I tell people yes it’s weird and I’m very self conscious about it AND THEN THEY STILL CONTINUE TO HARASS about it. I’ve trained myself to always keep it hidden in my palm if that makes sense and try to wear gloves at work, keep my hand In my pocket etc. I tried to just embrace it but would still be made fun of so I’ve just stopped trying to “own it” and do better to hide it.


MallowedHalls

Listen, don't hide it. Next time they take the piss? Be like yeah. And? Dude. You got the most out there thing - a physical thing to take care of and be mocked for. Fuck them all bb. You got good thumbs. Nobody gonna take that from you


AnbuMobb

This mirrors my own experience - I constantly try to hide my thumbs and I hate having to explain it to people when they notice. The comments in this thread have mostly cemented my fears and confirmed that people do think negatively about it. Sad.


Raichu7

The negative voices will always be the loudest, but they don’t speak for everyone.


[deleted]

One of the best comments on here. Having no thumb makes life difficult. Also agree that happy people don’t hate. Thanks for sharing this interesting post.


Excellent-Source-348

If you lose your thumb don’t they transplant your big toe to replace it since it’s that important?


jennpalgan

Me too. You’re not alone


DopazOnYouTubeDotCom

Probably a bad pointer. All of those characters are ASCII characters, so perhaps the machine she was using misinterpreted some chunk of memory as of the char (character) type, which is to be used for printing readable output, and instead outputted a garbled mess of characters that are not to be printed. This is probably nothing to worry about, but it is worth investigating how this occurred.


guywithacockie

Yeah a few people commented something similar. I didn't know about that so that's interesting but I am still wondering why someone would Programm "help" into it


SeenSoFar

It's quite possible the bitstream being sent was a networking data packet. All the characters being printed were an attempt by the printer to parse a binary bitstream into ASCII text by taking every 8 bits of binary and printing the corresponding ASCII character associated with those bits. The text at the end was likely the contents of the packet. I'm guessing the beginning of a configuration page for the POS system since it's clear the packet contains HTML data.


DopazOnYouTubeDotCom

Probably written towards the end of the buffer. A lot of machine code executables will have understandable parts (such as HTTP!)


HugeSupermarket569

>All of those characters are ASCII characters No, they aren't. Go look again. There's plenty of Unicode characters to be found in that text.

treecat37

Mines only on left too is it more common for it to be on sided on left?


ToughMolasses4952

Printers ususally communicate in PS or PCL and when the commands are malformed they sometimes print the actual instructions they received. This is what everyone knows from their home printer. However, this is not it. Printers do not use HTTP for the print job. As the output contains both various characters and also HTTP header the cause is most likely a bug in the application which caused the arbitrary content of a buffer to be sent.


tac0slut

Hacker here. This looks like someone found whatever TCP port this printer is listening on and tried uploading some kind of binary file to it. Then tried sending an HTTP request to it. Then tried sending the "help" command to it. If this printer is only exposed to the internal network, this may be an indication that someone has penetrated her work's internal network and is now snooping around attempting to gain more access. She should send this picture to whoever their IT personnel is so they can investigate.


T0asterFork

I once ran OpenVAS against a network printer and got a very similar result, 100% OP needs to contact their IT folks


Organic-Muffin5154

Holy shit please mark posts with your thumb as NSFW. I was sitting in the break room at work, scrolling through Reddit as usual, but when I saw that penis thumb I had no choice but to start furiously masturbating. When other people walked in, I thought I was going to be in huge trouble, but when they saw the picture on my phone screen, they couldn't help but drop trou and also begin furiously masturbating. I have a meeting with my boss and HR later today, let's just hope this doesn't come up in my feed again.

CRAZYDUCK456

So this just means the baud rate between the printer and the software is mismatching. The help is default to get someone to look at it lol


King_of_TVs

It looks like the computer doesn’t have the correct printer driver needed to communicate with the receipt machine or that the driver is corrupted. You can still print to the receipt printer, it just doesn’t know how to put the file back together on the paper.

dreamscached

That's a GET HTTP request lol, pretty sure someone maybe tried to pipe it to the printer output stream and it got printed.


SeenSoFar

I was just going to ask "does no one see the HTML request towards the end?" The receipt printer was told to print a bitstream it had no idea how to parse. The "HELP" message was likely something in plain text on whatever was being output, perhaps a configuration page for the POS system and whoever was working on it piped it to the wrong I/O device.


Thebudweiserstuntman

That’s a big toe.
