In summary, a video showcasing a supposed real working retro encabulator has been circulating. The conversation includes reactions of disbelief and amusement as well as admiration for the supposed technical specifications mentioned in the video. However, some are questioning if it is real or just a clever parody. The conversation also mentions a potential release date for the encabulator and a favorite moment from the video.

:rofl: That's funny. What a load of BS! Logarithmic casing!

Oh man, this is priceless.

Captain, our 'Unilateral phase detractors are automatically capable of synchronizing cardio gram-meters!' Power is not generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, but is produced by the modial of magneto reluctance and capacitive duractance!'

Those thieving bastards! I invented that thing ten years ago and never got to patent it because I couldn't find a backer. :grumpy:

If they haven't seen it, the guys at Rockwell are going to love this.

It definitely sounds like one of their sales pitches!

I wonder what % of the population would think that this is legit and just have no clue what the person is talking about. Man, that was an awesome parody.

Maybe it's real maybe it isn't. but if they've really managed to get 6 hydrocoptic marzyl veins feeted to the ambithazion lunar wang shaft they are genius, because every single retro encabulator I've come across has suffered from terrible side fumbling.

My favourite bit was his description of how 'side-fumbling was effectively prevented'.
