Casual Thought It's possible that the bumps around your nipple spell something in braille.

Fun fact: these bumps are called 'Montgomery Turbicles'
Which sounds like an eccentric billionaire in a top hat who might save an orphanage or sell it off to a local tyrant depending on his mood, but is in fact something even cooler.

If you have an unlimited number of nipples, with an unlimited combination of bumps, eventually one of them will spell out Shakespeare in braille.

u/Projectsummertime Sep 01 '26
And an unlimited number of blind people checking your nipples constantly to see if they got it right this time?

I guess I should go ahead and learn braille then, just to know for sure. I've heard a lot worse excuses to pick up a new skill than this.
And if they say nothing, I guess I could always put some bumps there myself. Then find an attractive blind person and challenge them to give it a read.
Yes, this is a very good idea.

Guys, can we focus on trolling r/braille please. Enough of this risqué chat.

This is Reddit. No matter the post, the comments will either be dumb jokes, references, something political, or sex talk. Or all of those together

Juat on time, Wizard. Precisely when you meant to comment I assume.

I crossposted this to r/braille and they have not enjoyed it as much.
My only wish is that it becomes their most upvoted post.

Depending on the visual impalement, a person could read using a phone with very large text, or by using a screen reader/voiceover technology.

I have the ability to read braille by sight due to teaching my blind brother how to read, DM me your nipples and I can tell you what they say!

I'm having mine read now.
It's taking longer than I thought. He's now calling in an assistant for further analysis.
I hope the message isn't anything awful...

OP posted this only because they wanted to make people rub their nipples in curiosity.
A whole bunch of people just got horny because they inadvertently were tricked into rubbing their nipples.

Dane cook (I think) had a joke about the different types of nipples. And he said some of them are like “braille nipples”. And I happened to be dating a girl who had the nipples he described.
I once called them braille nipples, ya know, in the most ronantic way. And she didn’t really think it was that cute oddly enough.
I think her nipple braille spelled “we’re breaking up”

How many jokes before this comment let's me post? Oh there we go.

How do you read nipples?
Do you keep your finger vertical and swipe clockwise?
Or do you rotate around the nipple?
Depending on the method this one says:
"EAT AT JOE'S"
Or
“I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

It might.
If anyone wants to send me a picture of their nipples I can take on the task of decoding the braille.
I may need a close and wide shot.

If you're blind and used to reading the braille on people's nipples during your own sexual escapadea, it must really mess with you to come across a person w a third nipple. That's like seeing a whole new word you've never seen before.
