I took a screenshot of the Binary code that constructs say so I could decode it.

But for some reason it wouldn't let me. :/

here's the screenshot if anyone would like to try decoding it.

gibberish

I think that it's gibberish. Unless I've miscounted, the message is 57 bits long; it should be a multiple of 8 (or 7, if really ancient ASCII conventions are in use). The message ends in a lot of repeated "01"s, which suggests that someone got tired of trying to invent a "random" bitstring. I've tried various ways of splitting the message into 8-bit chunks and converting to letters according to ASCII, and I get gibberish, like Mystigryx did above.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Maybe it's part of the game's code in binary?

Can someone come up here with a disassembler? Maybe this code constitutes assembly commands?

Binary to text conversion site. I see someone linked another binary to text conversion site. My bad.

Most likely a reference to some prehistoric chat log once upon a time.

We knew all this last year, and the year before.

I guess they really CAN do this every year and still have people getting excited over it...
