1 September 1985. Wreck of RMS Titanic, which sank on 15 April 1912, was found by Dr Robert Ballard and his team about 453 miles from Newfoundland. The underwater wreckage made clear that the ship had split in two as it sank.

This reddit is both to show off your awesome trivial knowledge and to learn something new, quirky, or interesting about the day you're currently living! Who knows, maybe you can use it at trivia night tonight.

A few posting rules:

Please include the date at the front of the submission. Preferably using a format like:

[July 4, 1776] or [7/4/1776]

Nothing personal. While you are certainly exceptional, this is not a place to post about your reddit cakeday, actual birthday, relative's passing, wedding anniversary, or the day you found your lucky penny.

Only post about things related to the current date. If you find something else interesting you want to share with reddit, there's the always popular /r/TIL, the less frequented /r/trivia, or subject specific subreddits.

If its NSFW, it needs to be marked as such.
