AkshayThis short story, written in older and older English as it goes on, rightly went viral!
How far can you understand it?

And now, for extra comprehension challenge, there’s Beowulf rendered in Gen Z English
“There was Shield Sheafson, canceler of many tribes,
A high-key shredder of mead benches, flexing all over foes.
This dragger of the hall-troops had come far.
A smol bean to start with, he would glow up hard later on
As his powers got fire af and his rizz went viral.”
Matthew Dockrey@Akshay Honestly, not a terrible translation!
