    Yeah, people in the VII-th century were so stupid that the writer might be not trolling but sincerely believing in the bullshit he wrote. Barbaric times…

      The translation is not very accurate. It should be read something like this:

      be me rune master

      concealing runes of power

      Chad comes and breaks the monument

      plagueOfMaleficence.jpg

      insidiousDeath.exe

      lmao why are Chads like this?

        When you try to lie to IT support.

        “Are you sure you didn’t download and run InsidiousDeath.exe?”

          I thought it was a heavy metal song! But it didn’t play anything and just started asking for bitcoin. Obviously my audio drivers need to be updated, please fix them so I can listen to the song.

          Proceeds to ignore advice to not run it again and starts downloading it before IT leaves room.

      They weren’t stupid they just didn’t know any better. There’s a difference, and it’s an important one in these troubled times.

      So many ancient writings are shitposts though. This could very well just be OOP trolling the kind of people who would be scared of such a message, or even making a joke we no longer have the references for.

          The romans where more scared of flying menhirs when trying to invade gaul villages with druids
