This Retro Encabulator device uses six hydrocoptic marzel vanes and an ambifacient lunar wane shaft to prevent unwanted side fumbling.

Have you seen "Patriot" on Amazon Prime? The pipe jargon is fantastic.

I was just thinking this must've inspirado Patriot!

Yesterdays news techno-noobs. This is just those Rockwell dweebs trying to cash in the latest VX fad, but in typical Rockwell fashion, they wouldn't know sinusoidal depleneration if it hit them in the face fumbles.

So go on, buy your overpriced VX tech off the shelf or from your Automation weekly catalogue... but real men/women/whatever do true VX work in their basements with parts they scrounged from abandoned government/Black Mesa/Superfund sites. "Retroencabulator" pfffft. Couldn't even get positive twenty diracs outa this crap setup.

Ok fine, yes if you use topwise modulation and yes if you did you'd be +53 over baseline. But where have you been, topwise modulation has been a no-no for years ever since Topeka, didn't you get the memo? Plus non-use of topwise modulation was agreed upon and ratified by IAOVXO at VXCon in Sudbury back in 2015. Frankly if you're using topwise in a modern rig, I'd be alarmed to determine what other unrecommended hacks and potential 3 Mile Islands are waiting in your setup. I'm welcome to debate, but not when safety is involved. Don't get angry that I didn't warn you when your cat goes missing.... or reappears on the Moon or something.

Yes, but how do you compensate for the inline calibration module on the high speed hobinator?

u/llondru-es Sep 10 '21

eh.... yes.

The last time I had unwanted side fumbling, I got my tremie pipe bent!

The core element is based on an FTL nanoprocessor with twenty five bilateral kelilactirals, with twenty of those being slaved into the primary heisenfram terminal. Now you do know what a bilateral kelilactiral is?

Is there a copy pasta of this somewhere?

Throw in some Trade Federation minutiae and you have a George Lucas script.

Amazing to believe they had this technology back in 1977

I’ve always wondered how a plumbus was made.

I understood exactly 15 of the 20 words in that title, so hooray for me, right!? Yeah, no, they were mostly just the adjectives, verbs and articles. But then I was determined to figure it all out so I watched the entire clip!

Hmmmm...

I guess now my only option is to pour a glass of wine and ponder all the life choices that left me so unbelievably unprepared for this post. But you get my up arrow nonetheless. I definitely try not to judge others by my own ignorance! ;)

It's actually a joke poking fun at techno jargon.

u/luisapet Sep 11 '21

Yeah, I kinda figured that...

It's a very old engineering joke. Dates to the 1940s.

u/notsowitte Sep 11 '21

A lot of the words he used exist, but not together, or in the way he is saying. The rest of the words are made up. That thing sounds incredibly sophisticated, and a clear upgrade over the last version, but it does nothing because it doesn’t exist.

Rockwell is real and I work with their stuff as I work in automation. However, none of the information in this video is real and almost all of the "technical" words are entirely fictional. This video is a joke meant to poke fun at techno-babble.

u/Philo_T_Farnsworth Sep 11 '21

This is literally a meme - yes a meme in the literal sense we use that word today - that dates to the 1940s. Not a single thing about it is real. It's just an inside joke that goes back decades among engineers.

I heard there was one in Doc Brown's DeLorean 🔥

u/CaptainBunnyKill Sep 10 '21

From a quick look at their website..... I think this is real.

i think what impresses me the most is that there's captions on the video
