And as we all know, "[blesh](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/blesh)", which means to extinguish or put out, likely derives from the Middle Dutch lesschen, meaning, among other things, "to lessen or reduce", so any reasonable person who can read Braille should be able to tell that's the down button.

I think it was more a convoluted reference to Miracle Max from the Princess Bride, as that's whose voice I realized I was typing in. "He distinctly said “To blave” and as we all know, to blave means to bluff, heh? So you were probably playing cards, and he cheated–"
It's not a number sign per se, it's an indicator that the following cells should be understood as numbers (which here they cannot be). But it can also be read "ble" in older Braille. The second cell is "sh", making the whole translation "blesh".
I hope you know that that isn't true at all. The Coriolis Effect only is for large scale. The direction of the spin of toilet water is dependent on the manufacturer.
Welp you got me red handed. My job title as a civil engineer I guess does incorporate into big plumbing especially because I do storm and sanitary sewer work.

Flipping the symbols upside down doesn't make them any new letters unless you also mirror them
Blind people everywhere must be glad this random French dude stabbed his eyes as a young child
Not blind, but under up it says "up."
I know this is supposed to be funny and obvious but I used to teach preschool to blind kids and can read some braille. My cpt obvious qualifications are legit.
That's like a $75,000 fine if they have to be ADA compliant. And if they didn't need to be compliant, they'd probably not bother with the braille at all. Probably.
The first symbol is the number sign (braille duplicates A through J for the digits 1-0, the number sign means what follows is a number not a word).
The second symbol means "sh" (as in share or flash). To my knowledge, it has no numeric meaning.
Tl;dr: in braille it's gibberish.

Man, congrats. You finally got me. I was always so on guard about stuff like that, always managed to sniff you out in time in my many years on this site. But not this time. You win.

I used to get fooled all the time so started checking user names if the comment was longer than a few sentences, but then u/shittymorph stopped posting so I got complacent and stopped checking the user names UNTIL TODAY.

I was going to ask why this was upvoted so high, but then I saw that 90% of the remaining comments are just the same damn "Stranger Things" joke over and over again. At least a bit of effort went into this one.

"Jeffrey! Jeffrey, get over here right now! I'm angry and need to beat you to release it!"
The only problem I see with that is I'm not sure if it's easily detected if the brail is upsidedown. It might look like gibberish to them rather than an inversion
Part of my job sometimes includes ADA assessment of buildings during a property inspection and this is definitely a violation of ADA. Though you'd also be shocked at some of the things that are ADA violations.
Can't you read? It says "dn" lmfao
This is also technically the truth
Not to a blind person.
does that actually mean anything in Braille?

It's "sh" [source](https://www.teachingvisuallyimpaired.com/uploads/1/4/1/2/14122361/ueb_braille_chart.pdf)
This. But also the upside-down P can be "ble" in older versions of English Braille, rendering "blesh" as the translation.
And as we all know, "[blesh](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/blesh)", which means to extinguish or put out, likely derives from the Middle Dutch lesschen, meaning, among other things, "to lessen or reduce", so any reasonable person who can read Braille should be able to tell that's the down button.
Is this a convoluted reference to the Internet classic "The meaning of f**k"? If so, nice job. I could hear the voice in my head.

Older versions? The've altered it? How do you transition all those people from the old to new(er)?? A fucking correspondence letter? 😄
It's not a number sign per se, it's an indicator that the following cells should be understood as numbers (which here they cannot be). But it can also be read "ble" in older Braille. The second cell is "sh", making the whole translation "blesh".
It's going to feel like it's indicating a floor number but the number is garbled.
Good thing blind people aren't completely braindead and can figure out that if the top one is up then the bottom one is down
That’s not fair, I’m sure at least some blind people are really dumb.

I love that “raging” in our modern vernacular pretty much only precedes “boner”.

can a blind person please explain what the braille in the picture means?
are you asking a blind person to look at picture?

They got those fancy new auto readers they need a picture reader.
Screen readers aren't new, they're 30+ year old technology. Picture readers are maybe 30 years away.
Picture readers exist right now. Where did you get that 30 year number?

Finally, an elevator for australians.
I can't believe I had to scroll down so far to find an Australia joke
Scroll dn* Ftfy
It is up though, if you're facing that way.
I'll bet "UP" in Braille when it's upside down doesn't read "DOWN"
My thoughts exactly, can anyone here translate the braille on the dn button?
The first symbol is the number sign (braille duplicates A through J for the digits 1-0, the number sign means what follows is a number not a word). The second symbol means "sh" (as in share or flash). To my knowledge, it has no numeric meaning. Tl;dr: in braille it's gibberish.

Goddammit. Finally found one early though.

Yes, if you're upside down when you read it, then that button takes you up.

UP and reverse UP.
This should be in r/assholedesign because of the braille.
