The Codes - f04cb41f154db2f05a4a

Going off of PartyLikeIts19999's notes regarding these codes, there was mention of the username belonging to the creator of the subreddit in question. I copy/pasted the username (f04cb41f154db2f05a4a), and ran it through a hex to text decoder. This was the result:

ðL´M²ðZJ

Now, to be honest, that might be seemingly meaningless. I might be completely off on a speculative tangent that doesn't mean jack-sh--, but I found the strange character present in the translation to be of interest. So, of course, I copied it and pasted it into a search engine. It's pronounced "eth", and it's an Old English and Icelandic letter. Sure, that could potentially be nothing, but I'm trying to think outside the box for this one.

Again, the translation looked like this " ðL´M²ðZJ ". The other thing I noticed was the M2. That seemed rather curious. Than a sudden thought hit me. This could be a chemical name. It's a very strange way of putting it, I realize, but this could very well be some kind of chemical.

Taking a ride on this train of thought, I went along with that idea, and I started to think in terms of chemistry. I got to this: the ðL bit could very well mean ethyl, if you read it plainly like that. So we've got ethyl´M²ðZJ. I went a little further. The next part of it that seemed pretty curious to me was the M2. M squared. Two m's. Notice the other "eth" symbol right behind it. So I went along thinking ethyl-dimeth... but that's as far as I got.

Again, I could be completely and terribly wrong about this, but I'll continue to work at it. No point in not looking into any and every avenue for this thing. I'll post an update when I figure out where the "Z" and "J" come into this.
