I love that the braille just cuts off too:
"HOT SURFACE DO NOT"
As if to say: if you made it this far then you already know.
- It says "hot surface do not touch" in full, actually. Braille uses single characters to represent some common letter combinations ("touch" is "t" + "ou" + "ch"). The words "do" and "not" are each contracted to a single letter ("d" and "n" respectively).

  Aaahh OK. I thought I was so clever to just count the characters lol. Classic Dunning-Kruger

At first I wondered what the secret message would be to braille users, then I realised they wouldn't know either.
- Can screen readers read braille?
  
  Interesting question, I was really talking about the message in the image, but I don't know about the title.
  I knew someone who had a braille laptop once, so instead of a screen it had a tactile braille row in front of the keyboard. I assume if you gave it braille characters it could give them to the user, but I actually have no idea.
- it's the same braille as on the sign
I don't think the braille is necessary. By the time someone starts to "read" it, they already know what it says.
- The wooosh is strong in this one
  
  Stating the obvious is my specialty.
  I am good at nothing else.
Got blinded by reading a sign that told me to look away, got my fingertips melted by reading a sign that told me not to touch.
Went to an Ace of Base concert but stood too close to the speakers, and well… You can guess.
Edit: Ooh, or if you wanna lean into the “ironic warnings” part more than the “damaging signs” part, the concert could be The Police.
- WHAT?

  Erm... the loud thunderous beat of "All That She Wants" made you asexual?
Funniest thing I've seen today.
