I Can See You Translation Fail

Ob am ap ri sm I can see you

A Google Translate screenshot shows the Somali phrase “Ob am ap ri sm” translated into “I can see you.” Below it, a crying anime girl hugs her knees while a strange robot-like figure with Barack Obama’s face appears behind her, turning the mistranslation into an absurd threatening joke. It is used as a reaction to imply that someone is watching or knows what is happening.
