I used to play this game with Google translate when it was newish
There is, or maybe was, a YouTube channel that would run well known song lyrics through various layers of translation, then attempt to sing the result to the tune of the original.
🎵Once you know which one, you are acidic, to win!🎵
Gradually watermelon... I like shapes.
Twisted translations
Sounds about right to me.
translation party!
Throw Japanese into English into Japanese into English ad nauseum, untill an 'equilibrium' statement is reached.
... Which was quite often nowhere near the original statement, in either language... but at least the translation algorithm agreed with itself.
