It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.

"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

Sheesh, some bot built on top of Scrapy running in GCE tried to crawl my gitea as fast as computationally possible. Make 65k requests in about ten minutes before I noticed and blackhole'd it.
Always fun to look at what lies UA strings my public-facing server is being told. I'm sure that I had visits from 15 different clients all running on PPC macs in the last hour, absolutely.
eMusic walked so Spotify could run.
