The post is from this Threads account: https://www.threads.com/@finance.arman

I couldn't find the post because I don't have a Threads account myself and it limits how far back on someone's timeline you can go, but the UI and username matches. The original post wasn't in English, so it must have been translated using OCR, resulting in the weird artifacts. You've got a good eye to catch that difference.

Ah, see that at least sounds plausible. I've used Google Translate to translate road signage with the camera, and it tries to position and resize text to fit the original sign. So if that kind of technology is happening here, that could make some sense.

...but then why wouldn't you just let the browser translate it for you, since it would normalize the same font size across the entire text? Oh, if they were in the Threads app they wouldn't have they available.
