On Sep 7, 1776, David Bushnell's American Turtle conducted the world's first submarine assault. Towed into position and manually cranked forward, it failed to attach an explosive charge to the HMS Eagle, resulting in mission failure.

A place to share (almost) anything and everything interesting as fuck.
Rules (click for more details on the rules)
1. Posts must be IAF
No screenshots, unneeded sound on gifs/videos, memes, funny things, edgyness, cuteness, porn, click bait, etc., no AI-generated images, illusions, most arts/crafts, conceptual things that are not actuality, architecture, low-effort links to wikipedia articles. No content that's only interesting to you. No content that just belongs on /r/historyporn, /r/mildlyinteresting or other subs - must still be mind-blowingly interesting. No pics of just a person
2. Titles
Describe the content of the post/why it's interesting (it can be a bit humorous too). Avoid just copying titles blindly when reposting from other subs. "This <thing>" is not an adequate title. Posts solely consisting of an interesting title, with just a boring picture is not allowed. No clickbait titles, follow-up titles. Titles should be descriptive enough to be searchable (search for reposts)
3. No spam
Spammers don't read the rules but it's still against the rules. No product or website marketing/shilling (dropshippers), blog/personal website promotion. Don't encourage shillbots by asking where to buy the nifty toy/gadget or YOU could be banned. No shitposting/joke posts. Shitpost = instant ban
4. No gossip or tabloid-esque material
This isn't the place for pop culture news/events nor is it a glorified image version of /r/TodayILearned. No "talking head" videos. This is not a tiktok/social media rehosting site
5. If needed, include a source
If your post declares something as fact, please cite a source in the title, or in the comment section. Claims about biggest/highest needs proof. Don't claim ownership of something you didn't create. No false/misleading information. Credible sources only - no obscure blogs or twitter. As a courtesy, please provide background info for further reading for interesting things
6. Be civil
We are here to learn and share interesting things. Don't be a jerk. Please report offenders.
7. No text on an image/gif/video
Text on an image/gif/video that could have been put in the title is not allowed. Labels on a chart or graphic are allowed, but “factoid†text is not. No tiktok videos with annoying text/emoji/music. Subtitles are OK.
8. Reposts
Reposts are allowed. HOWEVER, if something has been posted a lot it's going to be removed. Use the search function before posting. If your reposts become an annoyance to the mods, you will be banned. If reporting a repost, provide links.
Other things to note:
If the moderators feel you/your post(s)/your comment(s) are harming the subreddit they will be removed.
Please don't complain if you think something isn't interesting.
Users are encouraged to contribute to the subreddit, please try to treat others how you would like to be treated.
If you feel something violates the rules report it.
This sub filters new users in order to remove spam. If you are a new reddit user, please gain some karma and wait before posting. This is to prevent spam and new users who don't understand reddit.
Youtube links are currently auto filtered.
