I was looking for "buzzword soup website doesn't say what the product fucking does"

Maybe that wouldn't fit in a square

the only possible way this could be worse was if it was called CloudChain and also had weird blockchain/crypto nonsense.

I was scrolling through job postings today and came across one that read like this. I was confused -> clicked the link -> saw a picture of two oil rig workers -> genuinely said "Ah, oil!" out loud -> and closed the web page.

They try to hide behind green washing and jargon. It happened to me at a university career fair a few months ago, too.

A game of Bingo requires several players to have different cards. That would be on another card. Other possible entries:

  • Uses recently popular buzzword tech for no reason.
  • Uses an always-on internet connection and multiple server farms to perform a function that ran locally on a Palm V PDA in 1997
  • Isn't legal in the EU

Are you talking about the turbo encabulator, retro encabulator, or hyper encabulator?

Happens often with GitHub projects as well. It's that or "it expands on the capabilities of BLARG by making it easier to use" - doesn't explain the changes
