Bros made beer and said sh!t we gotta write this down so no one ever forgets. Over everything else lmao they made suuuuuure
Actual fun fact instead of this AI crap:
Vikings would cook their iron with the bones of the deceased, and they believed it would help their spirits fuse into the weapon, enchanting them. While it didn't enchant the iron with magic, it still made them stronger and more durable, as the bones provided carbon and thus made it a crude and early form of steel!
