Maybe a little mischief

[BobbyBrandt]

I am seeing more and more restaurants where rather than giving guests a menu, they expect you to scan a QR code on the table to pull up a website.

I'm wondering how long it would take for an establishment to catch on if I printed out my own QR codes and placed them on the tables over their own. Guests seeking a menu would instead be directed to my story page on Literotica.

Maybe I'll target parking meters and other places where QR codes are becoming popular.

Anyone interested, here is how you can easily create QR codes in MS Word.


If you haven't guessed, I'm not a big fan of QR codes.

"I was looking for the Chili's restaurant menu. Didn't find it, but your prose is excellent. Characterization needs work, though. When can I get my queso dip?"

You can embed up to 4,000 or so characters of text into a QR code, it doesn't have to link out to an external URL and can just display a message directly onto someone's phone. Fully anonymous public microfiction, anyone?

Whenever I see a QR code, my mind immediately flashes back to the Rorschach test from my Psych 101 class. From your QR code, I see the confused face of a female wondering what the hell happened to this world. YMMV

Hey, I heard 4k is average! In some places, 4000 words is huge! I just don't think we need to be judging the size of the fiction, okay?

 

[TheLobster]

Only on a Literotica forum, in the year of Our Lord 2026, would people bring up freaking QR codes as something new and exciting.

But hey, it’s the site where Markdown is that newfangled youngster thing, so I guess it all tracks.

My average story is less than 4000, so I just don’t reach places where normal story does. But I write in Finnish, so the words are thicker. That compensates a bit, and some readers are satisfied. But mostly it’s only good as a stroker.

Don't expect a 5* review.

You can also make them in canva.




It's not live yet, so I scribbled out the code.

This is exactly why I give no quarter to QR codes. You see that blob of blobs, and you have no fuckin' idea where it goes. It could easily go to https://www.myvirusforyousucker.com or https://www.hahaijustdownloadedyourentireaddresslist.me, and you would be hosed.

QR codes had a legitimate and useful purpose when they were invented, but that they've been co-opted into general use? Beyond dangerous.

Admittedly, I only use them from reputable companies, or when I want to get a new phone anyway.

Although, phones typically show the link they go to before you click it. Or at least mine does.

Kind of like everything these days, but I see your point

This is of course in stark contrast to regular hyperlinks, which always go exactly where they say they do (like this one, for example, which leads to a foolproof method for ensuring your stories won’t ever get 1-bombed).

I presume you're being sarcastic/joking and would never actually do this IRL?

Tone sometimes doesn't convey well though text.

Being me, I appreciate BB's idea for all its twisted possibilities. Suppose a family goes to Appleby's and they scan the QR code on a sheet on the table that I've put there and they pull up a menu of links like:

Mom and Son Get Freaky At Appleby's

Applebys -- Everybody's Favorite Trafficking Hub

Whips and Chains at the Local Appleby's

What Happens At Appleby's Stays At Appleby's

Flashing Under The Table At Appleby's

Appleby's Waitress Turns Her First Trick

Or, IRL, the Reddit posting I accidentally discovered with one of our local Applebee's servers modeling a sheer and clingy dress showing... uh... "bits".

OMG.

 

[KittyOfSteele]

Well, now I never thought about this... putting QR codes on the street, maybe one near the my local author's association (or whatever the name is for that) office to troll the Ivory Tower... Now I kinda want to make a Substack in Spanish and also start translating a few of my works into Spanish to get people visiting Literotica.

You just gave me the vehicle for a samizdat. What you just gave me is... Man, I might land in prison for this, especially for the things that I write...

Calm down, impulse of stupidity, calm down...

...

I mean, one of my D&D group fell for a QR code that seemed to have promised juicy gossip and revenge porn of some girl, only for him scanning it and being trolled with a website that called him a creep. It was a marketing ploy of someone offering their marketing courses as well as their work as a freelancer. I mean, props to the marketeer, I'll tell you that much.

That should tell you people will scan it (people will scan anything!). Drop something on LW that has revenge porn vibes and people will want to see. Add some butt stuff in it and put it on Anal if you don't want to deal with LW's eccentricities, as the Stunned Cat would say.

All of us living in 2026 while my Penny here already in the year 5126. Now I do happen to write erotic poetry that sounds like bathroom graffiti, and some of it is has humorous scat fetish because toilet humor is funny to me. I'm in for this; I've written poems on a 160 character limit. I kinda want to start at my local hospital...

When I was in college I remember there was one particular bathroom that was reputed to be a hookup location and you'd find all kinds of messages in the men's stalls like "Hot BJs in Booths" and phone numbers and the like. Nowadays you'd probably find "For A Good Time" + QR Code.

 

[cassie69a]

What the fuck? "Let's non-consensually involve people in sexual stuff" NO. Do not do this. Tricking people into going to a sex site when they're just trying to read a damn menu is wrong. Especially because anyone with a smartphone could open that link, even a child!

Sure, make a QR code and advertise your smut online (or even on physical posters in public, if you want to take the risk of attracting MINORS). But don't trick people into visiting Lit or any other website with sexual content. Why the fuck would you think that's a good idea?

The first poem I wrote on Day 69 of my challenge was about a schoolgirl confessing she brought her dildo to school and filmed herself in the toilet, because the last verse invites the reader to jerk off with her. I doodled next to it the dildo, and the QR code.

Not the first time I do that, because I also wrote another latrinalia on Saturday, a limerick that also came with a QR doodled next to it, plus an extra poem of someone who scanned it.

If this becomes reality, I am going to lose my shit.

Uh... what we're saying here is satire. You understand the "advocacy" of QR hijacks here is satirical, right? It's good that you understand the destructive nature of what is possible. But we know that already.

As long as you refuse to scan QR codes even in settings where you would expect legitimate use, or even turn off your phone's code scan feature when possible, you will be safe from malicious QR links.

To be completely honest that burst of outrage just made me do more latrinalia and I'm doodling more QR codes with even more risque and explicit limericks with even more transgressive messages, already going fourth base with Lit's guidelines.

If anything it's good that it's triggering more art. I have a fucking bare upskirt doodled that looks very good for being a doodle.

Anyway... I'll post one:

Only abierto a mis dieciocho
Lo celebré quitando un corcho
Ya desearías que te abrace como mi oso
Que follé con consolador de oro
Video desbloqueable por ocho

This is like opening the door naked to the pizza delivery guy. Fine in porn (assuming you're OK with noncon in porn) but absolutely inappropriate and disgusting in real life.

Tone can be hard to convey in text. It's not clear that 100% of the participants on this thread are "just joking" and would never do this irl. It's also not clear that 100% of readers know this, especially considering i asked for clarification and no one answered. I think it's responsible that we make it clear that this behaviour is wrong irl and why it's wrong.
