The frst instinct is that its base 64 with a key. But base64 doesn’t work that way. With a bit of googling you encounter the Fernet cipher and you get the following string by decoding:

This looks like normal base 64 and by decoding we get:

It looks like some random giberish but if you just paste that into google you get a result for Malbolge. This is a language that is part of the brain fuck languages and are more a sort of cipher rather than an actual programming language. Plop it into an interpreter and you get
