    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Norwegian_black_metal_scene?wprov=sfla1

    It’s a tad morbid. I didn’t know most of the details about this in/famous era. Read on Dead and Euronymous too if you can. These guys were nuts. Mind blowing to think all this happened only 25 - 30 years ago.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wreck_of_the_Titan%3A_Or%2C_Futility?wprov=sfla1

    The novel that was published 17 years before the Titanic sank, about a ship that sank, named Titan. The details are creepily accurate.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1775–1795_in_Western_fashion?wprov=sfla1

    1775 - 1795 Western fashion, aka Marie Antoinette dominating & influencing the whole scene. It seems everything she did became a new trend and she had the eye for it too. Cool read if you’re into fashion history.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton_Man?wprov=sfla1

    Somerton Man, a death surrounded by mystery. There are some recent findings about the mans identity, still fun to read.

    I can’t pick one thing and my idea of entertainment might be slightly morbid so sue me.
