When decoding a base64 encoded message, Ares will duplicate the results.
This happens because base64 can often be decoded with base64 URL and vice versa due to how similar the alphabets are.
Example:

>ares -t "VGhpcyBpcyBhbiBleGFtcGxlIG9mIG92ZXJsYXBwaW5n"
🕵️ I think the plaintext is  English text.
Possible plaintext: 'This is an example of overlapping' (y/N):
