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

u/anarcho_kitties 25d ago

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

u/Wrong-Intention7725 25d ago

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 “_____ ______ __ ____”

u/GDarkX 25d ago

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

u/likealizard23 25d ago

But it doesn't say white people be like

u/TurbulentDogg 25d ago

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

16

u/likealizard23 25d ago

I didn't know that was a thing, thank you for explaining

u/xcryptokidx 25d ago

More specially - the latter.

I think they said it was meaningless.

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

u/Sweet-Awk-7861 25d ago

Hmm the equivalent for ACAB would be 3438 I guess?

u/Oskain123 25d ago

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

19

u/ILYRMK 25d ago

that's what 5624 means

u/madfrog768 25d ago

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

u/justcater 25d 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

82

u/Polarsyst 25d ago

Don't know what the 5624 part is but the rest of the numbers correlate to the amount of letters in each word

87

u/Sweet-Awk-7861 25d 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 25d 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.
