赛博功德

• Pinyin: sài bó gōng dé
• Hanzi breakdown: 赛博 means cyber or online; 功德 means merit, so the phrase jokingly counts helpful digital acts as merit.

Meaning

Imaginary online merit earned by doing small helpful, kind, or harmlessly virtuous digital acts.

Use 赛博功德 when joking that a small online action counts as good karma: sharing a useful link, answering a question, warning others, reporting spam, or leaving a kind comment. Keep it light and avoid implying real moral superiority.

Examples

1. 你把避坑清单发出来，赛博功德加一。 You shared a scam-avoidance list, so that's one more point of cyber merit.
2. 顺手举报诈骗号，今天的赛博功德有了。 I reported a scam account while I was at it, and today's cyber merit is secured.
3. 她整理字幕时间轴，弹幕都说赛博功德无量。 She organised the subtitle timestamps, and the comments all said her cyber merit was boundless.
