F*ng legend!

@paulk @hart seems to be fake, though

[gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe]

@DrorBedrack @paulk @hart Yeah. A nice fantasy, but I can't find any evidence this actually happened.

@FandaSin I simply used the OCR option in the alt text part of Mastodon.

@Gwendolyn @DrorBedrack @hart Well, that sucks.
