heyy, where are you from?
a small town in a big country
I am assuming that @SilverCreek knows some Alien language.
So trying to make sense of it thinking as if "I am an ALIEN"
Big Kompany in smol town
big dick in small underwear
I get the feeling he changed the actual answer after he told about the split, reverse, join
Hmm..I'm not sure if we can trust GPT with this answer

I think at this point, I'm just going to give up, but I'll share some of the ideas I was thinking of (partial anagrams of the letters, not particularly code at first).
Firstly, the original offer price of the 8/8/88 was $12, so I think 12D is the price.
The Q is suspicious, but it's supposed to make sense. To me, this points to an acronym like "Quickly As Possible". I've tried variations like "Quickly As Fucking Possible" or "Quickly as Damn Possible" etc, but no joy.
I think the
split("14")hint isn't quite right, but the original hint said that one of the single digits was the key. I'd guess "4", as that allows us to split the string before "FAT", but would also leave an empty list at the start, where literally anything can be appended in the next join. So, maybe the "14" is the best option, but then why would that contradict the earlier hint about it just being one digit?We can't easily add/remove/split-reverse-join on any of the letters in "FAT DEALS" which means only the P and Q are possibly decoys. Still think that's something to do with "as quickly as possible"
So, if I had to guess, my current best option is
FAT-DEALS-12D-QAFP("$12 quickly as fucking possible"), but it doesn't work. I also find it annoying that the "4"s are just lost from the original clue. If it's not just a straight anagram, that happens to be solvable using code, that's kind of crap.this thread rn
Also, @SilverCreek about my 6/6/66?

I love the romanian hosters
Reguards
This will always return "ARBITRARYSTRING", independent on the input, and only using split, join, reverse => coupon code could be anything.
I just offered a programmer at work a deal he can't refuse
I'll send him 10 bucks if he cracks this for me
Rigged loaded
Outsourcing as it's best

lol what kind of developer couldn't refuse 10 bucks
he ddr ignored me so apparently he could
You should look for friends who specialize in computer cryptography!
What do we need to crack?
I have a big call center who can work for me
code-solver, needs your imagination as input:
'42-PQFDA14TAF-SLAED-'.split('14').map(entry => entry.split("").reverse().join("")).join("").split('-').reverse().join("-").split("ADFQP").join("INSERT-LET-LORE-HERE")
