I have no idea what's going on in this post, but is that a DecTalk command?

Moonbase Alpha has DECTalk as text to speech, and so in-game chat is spoken out by DECTalk. Anything stupid is immediately 10x funnier when a robot says it earnestly, especially when that robot has to interpret it.

It's 14 years old now, dang

AEIOU repeating is the famous example, and spawned Moonbase Alpha covers of songs and similar text to speech implementations (like in R.E.P.O.).
