Base64 Encoding
Comments overwhelmingly suggest or sarcastically reference Base64 encoding as a simple, obvious alternative for data obfuscation, transmission, or representation, often critiquing more complex methods.

Just mention base64 encoding lol.
I'll bet on base64 "encryption"
It seems like Base64 or beyond would be a vastly better way.
Come on using base64? isn't that a bit too old school?
I guess they haven't heard of base-64.
You should use base_64 instead, that's what all the cool kids use.
Why not just use a base 64 representation?
You can mention that it's base64 encoded, heck you can even link an online decoder for them.
I wonder what'd happen if you used this on base64 strings.
I'll stick to base64 or even better base85 (Ascii85).
