I’ve completely ditched channels that just can’t get out of their own way when narrating because it’s just so hard to listen to- this channel should serve as a primer for anyone remotely considering historical/educational topics.

Don’t not forget. When Hannibal was in self exile he gave advice to the ruler of the kingdom he was hiding out in. And in this area was a vast amount of poisonous snakes. *So he had many men round up TONS of snakes, put them in clay jars, and launch them as projectiles at the enemy ships* so they’d slither below deck and harass the naked, unclothed and chained and unprotected slave rowers and obviously this was quite effective as well as causing disorder in the ranks top deck. So much so that the Romans after hearing about this unusual conflict investigated and someone let slip that Hannibal had been hiding out there.

The Japanese used palm fronds held out in front of them to try and disguise their counter attack into American lines. The Americans were absolutely baffled the Japanese thought this would work and cut them down in huge numbers. Another, more grim tactic was to use Korean slaves dressed in white to try and draw Americans to shoot and expose their positions in the dark night.

As a Connecticut resident I know for a fact that the first submersible ever used for war purposes was the Turtle. Basically it was The Hunley in the revolutionary war but with a much lower kill count… of zero. Although that’s not from lack of trying. They tried to use it to attach explosive charges to British ships on two separate occasions but both failed and forced the operator of the craft to retreat. So the Turtle is the first war sub but the Hunley does still hold the title of first sub with kills under its belt. Even if most of those were it’s own operators.

My favorite thing about the Hunley is that it basically used the same strategy that Japanese infantry used during the Soviet push at the end of WW2: a bomb on a stick. Simple, elegant, suicidal. Perfect.

[@potato1341]

Okay but to think the Hunley was basically a primitive, unwitting kamikaze bomber, it done a pretty good job. It took out an entire naval vessel several miles off the coast in a single hit. If it was lowered to 1-2 crew members and consistently sank ships, as opposed to having full-on conflicts where an entire ship might fail to take down another, it'd probably be one of the more efficient tactics available for the time.

If the “more chicks” bit was genuine, Wacky Women’s inventions are a thing. Historical, strange, and could draw more female audience. Maybe talk about how dangerous old Victorian dresses were, with drowning or catching fire? I can totally see topics like that fitting with your style of comedy and pacing
