β€œRemember…” No.

I wish I was there to remember it lol. On a different note, historians will know exactly what happened; the story is written around the stone in runes...

Did it really happen?

IIRC the drone operator had permission from the event for the shot and the spear thrower did it as a joke because he assumed he’d miss and nobody had any hard feelings because of how impressive it was.

I remember that day. It was when a drunk Russian with a spear proved us all that Skynet has shit on humanity.

Monkey always wins.

Those are not really runes, they include Cyrillic characters in runic style. I see the words "v sedemiy den maya" (on the 7th day of May) and "kopim" (with a spear).

i also don't think runestones have artwork like this on them? like fuckin have fun carving that with a chisel.. and the paint would last approximately 2 hours painted onto a rock in nordic weather.

Certainly i've never seen a runestone with artwork on it and i live in sweden, hell they don't even have that much text, it's like the ancient equivalent of graffiti tags.
TORBJΓ–RN MADE THIS STONE IN HONOUR OF HIS DAUGHTER HILDA WHO MADE A REALLY LOVELY STEW

I was not suggesting anything else about the stone would fool anyone. Just don't bother trying to decode them if you expect standard runes.

like fuckin have fun carving that with a chisel

My man's never seen ancient Egyptian carvings

I searched the drone in the sky for an embarrassing amount of time.

It's not weirder than many other things that are from centuries or millennia ago. It's always fun to see the weird theories people come up with, everything from aliens to masturbatory use.
