Mantong Expansion
Richard Shaver wrote an ostensibly autobiographical story of horrifying subterranian experiments called "I Remember Lemuria". He also claimed that English was derived from an ancient language called "mantong", and that the Latin alphabet used in English is actually a set of mantong ideograms. (As far as I can tell, mantong is supposed to have a vocabulary of approximately 26 words -- less than toki pona.)
We can straightforwardly expand any English language text (or, arguably, any latin-1 text) to reveal the "hidden mantong meaning" Shaver thought was hidden in all texts.
Here is the expander script: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/mantong-expand.sh
Here is "I Remember Lemuria" (the version transcribed by the Sacred Texts Archive) expanded with this script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enkiv2/misc/master/nanogenmo-2021/shaver-mantong.md
This output is 382k words. Technically this entry is cheating because I threw together the first version of mantong-expand.sh a few days ago.
Here's a brief sample (page 1):

I was tempted to write a little script to turn the table of conversions into sed, but 26 rules is short enough to just dash off (though I screwed it up the first few times).
