A Fun LLM Prompt for Excavating Weird but Real History
Take a real historical person or event X.
1. Begin with strictly factual context about X.
2. Identify one obscure, marginal, or forgotten adjacent fact (a minor invention, footnote, coincidence, secondary figure, or parallel event).
3. Follow that thread outward, step by step, into a surprising but real connection.
Present this as a short, playful story, but clearly separate:
- what is verified history
- what is speculative interpretation
The goal is not fantasy, but delight through improbable truth.
Bonus Prompt
"Rewrite this text as if Jorge Luis Borges created it".
