History is filled with moments so strange, so unexpected, that they demand to be told. A pope posthumously tried for heresy. A royal physician who swallowed live tapeworms to prove a theory. Empires risen and fallen over the most absurd of reasons. These are the stories that make you lean in, that you can't stop telling people.
Twisted History is a personalized discovery engine for these vignettes—verified, scored across eight dimensions, and delivered to match your taste. We crawl the web, filter for strangeness and significance, then learn what makes you curious through Bayesian preference learning.
No algorithmic clickbait. No speculation. Just the strange, true moments that remind us why history is never boring—and why the past is always stranger than fiction.
For the curious mind.
