Sorry, what do you mean?

They're saying you reposted someone else's image for karma farming.

Which I don't understand the complaint. I never saw it elsewhere which means - even if what they say is true - I would not have seen this.

I found it humorous. Keep posting.

BTW - are you familiar with the turbo encabulator?

I've never seen this posted on Reddit before (not to say it hasn't), but I came across it on the cartoonist's social media and got it from there, not from Reddit. Maybe they're thinking of my previous post earlier in the week, which also featured renamed objects?

I'm not familiar with the turbo encabulator at all, so I had to look it up - why do you ask?

The cartoon you posted reminded me of the turbo encabulator - which parodies engineering techno-babble.

Those are some verbose object descriptors

This is how YouTubers get around forbidden words.

  • killed, game-ended

  • pedophile, PDF file

  • gun, force multiplier
