ROT13, a decades-old letter substitution cipher, is changing the way people discuss spoilers on social media.
The cipher, which simply shifts each letter 13 places in the alphabet, turns spoilers into gibberish, allowing people to openly discuss plot points from movies, TV series, video games, and more.
For example, Twitter user Nathan Edwards posted a Star Wars: The Last Jedi spoiler using ROT13. Those who've already seen the movie and want to decipher the message can simply copy and paste it into the ROT13 website.
