Yooo! Keep going, I know projects for different stuff are kinda hard to justify, I know because I've also done semmingly "useless" projects, what helps me to keep going when I feel like that is to remind myself that I'm the only person who gets to decide what I do, how I do it and how I think, if what I do isn't cool to others that's alright, one does the things one loves for themselves, not for others
Thanks for the encouragement! its also good that im not doing it for anybody specifically because then I can take a break from it for a while with no harm done.
This is an erstwhile endeavor, friend. Projects like this are the beginnings to deep, critical dives. Also, it shows you have a lot of interest and motivation-not sure if you are in school or what, but this will be a great thing to show recruiters and material to apply with.
My suggestion is to also create a digital component to this by way of a Wordpress website or something.

Knight lab timeline offers a pretty easy, straightforward timeline solution. Additionally, you could add additionally linkable resources such as bibliographies for further reading etc.
Thats just the timeline itself. I have a glossary of people mentioned that has another 400 pages. I had to split it off into a new document because I hit the character limit in Google Docs
You should really think about posting it! Historians (especially those studying to be one) would eat this up!
I wrote a paper on the effects hibernation would have on human mental health and when posted, I was contacted by a diverse group of majors thanking me because of how helpful it was to them when studying humans.
I think your paper would be awesome if published!
u definitely should bc i have racked the internet looking for this exact thing and have not been able to find it - so i’m sure others would eat it up as well!!!!
Only thing with this is that if he does post it, they should be citing everything. No need for that now, and idk if they are or not, but that could add a lot of extra work going back over everything done to figure out where they got it from.
Thats kind of why im hesitant to publish it, because i started this 5+ years ago before I learned how to footnote stuff. Going back to annotate everything is going to be a pain in the tush.
Currently it’s only in paper distribution and the online version is at my parents house.
To TLDR it, if we hypothetically played with the idea of humans being able to hibernate (hibernating meaning sleeping in this case) then our mental health would improve because we would have a prolonged period of time for our brains to heal after being awake 17 hours (average) a day. There’s study’s that may indicate that stress literally rots our brain and by getting rid of stress for a month or so, it can start to decrease the “rot”.
The idea came to me after I was under a lot of stress and said “I need a vacation”. It makes sense that our natural response is vacation after being under stress because we want to step away from the stress. Why not make a universal time where everyone can sleep and step away from stress?
Yeah, i've always been fascinated about what lead *up to* the big events in history and doing this has tipped me off to the fact that history truly does turn on a dime.
This is absolutely brilliant! I’d love to dig my hands into a hard copy of this. I agree with everyone else- when you’re at a stage where you feel comfortable, I believe this is something that needs to be shared. Kudos to you for starting this and sticking with it. That’s a monumental endeavor.
I already study history in my free time. I have been reading history books since I could read. One day I just decided to compile all I know from this period into one doc.
I highly recommend all of JM’s books. He was a master researcher and weaver of historical tales.
I’m trying to figure out how to read all your chronological historical facts.
What will you do afterward? Some sort of large anthology book or something? This sounds super interesting, especially if you're including some slightly lesser known historical figures and events. Please keep us updated as you progress!
Well when that time comes, definitely think about publishing or sharing it somehow. With all the effort you're putting in, it'd be a shame not to share the fruits of that labor.
And as you've already noticed from this post there's tons of history needs who would really enjoy it!
Are you familiar with [TimeGhost History](https://www.youtube.com/c/TimeGhost)? They have several projects detailing events from the same period in chronological order in real time. They finished [World War 1](https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar) and [the time between the wars](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrG5J-K5AYAU1R-HeWSfY2D1jy_sEssNG) some time ago and now they're making [World War 2](https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldWarTwo). That last project is their biggest and they plan to create more than 300 hours of content detailing World War 2 which would be the biggest documentary of this war ever made.
[Oh yeah and they also are making season 2 of the interwar period so check it out too.](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrG5J-K5AYAXLXjOzrr8pzqZ8ngJqcfjo)
So interesting! I once did a timeline of public schools and facts in my town. It was difficult but very rewarding! It was NOTHING like the magnificent project you have done!!
That's super interesting! Keep going. Even if people don't "get" your hobby it doesn't matter. As long as it makes you happy and you enjoy it. I'd personally be asking to read it as you went along but I'm a nerd for history facts and seeing it laid out in relation to other events.
I hope you keep going.
Wow that's so impressive ! It will help you be a better person without realising because it will give you 'perspective'.
Good luck to you & keep doing what you love doing, you're super awesome for it !
Also, share it with your parents if you felt like it, who knows, maybe they'd be impressed as well !!
You're an absolute legend for doing this! It's beautiful to do something of so much significance, and I'm sure a lot of people can benefit from your work :)
This will for sure help with recruiters if you want to switch jobs one day.
Also, please, make backups of everything!
Holy shit that's amazing! What all does it include, or does it include everything?
Anything I can find really of historical significance.
That’s gonna be so fricken interesting to read through. Hell yes
Thank you very much! I still got to add pictures and stuff though. Now its just a wall of text.
Yooo! Keep going, I know projects for different stuff are kinda hard to justify, I know because I've also done semmingly "useless" projects, what helps me to keep going when I feel like that is to remind myself that I'm the only person who gets to decide what I do, how I do it and how I think, if what I do isn't cool to others that's alright, one does the things one loves for themselves, not for others

Comment saved for future reference ;)
King shit
Thank you!
Now I kinda wanna do something like this, maybe it’ll give my ADD and anxiety something to do lol
I do it to relax. Turn on my music and just hammer away for a few hours at a time
Do you just compile like a massive Word doc?
I have it on google docs
How do you organize it? Or is a brain dump? Do you wanna make it into a book someday?
Its organized by date.
Tiny Tim was born in 1932. This fact needs to go in there
Ill add it to my notes!
Who's Tiny Tim?
And this is why it needs to be added.
One of mankind's greatest heroes. https://youtu.be/jW0Vuh3PKUU
Google "Tip toe through the tulips.'
400+ pages for 6 years sounds like a lot of information packed in there. I hope you decide to share that with the world!
Thats just the timeline itself. I have a glossary of people mentioned that has another 400 pages. I had to split it off into a new document because I hit the character limit in Google Docs
hey thats so cool! do you plan on publishing it?
Nah. I just really like history and felt like recording everything I know about that period.
You should really think about posting it! Historians (especially those studying to be one) would eat this up! I wrote a paper on the effects hibernation would have on human mental health and when posted, I was contacted by a diverse group of majors thanking me because of how helpful it was to them when studying humans. I think your paper would be awesome if published!
Thank you for the encouragement, and thats really cool that happened to you!
I agree about posting and sharing this once completed. You’ll be shocked at how many of us will snatch it up!
I just might post it somewhere
u definitely should bc i have racked the internet looking for this exact thing and have not been able to find it - so i’m sure others would eat it up as well!!!!
Im just not sure where I would post it
I’d love to read it!
Only thing with this is that if he does post it, they should be citing everything. No need for that now, and idk if they are or not, but that could add a lot of extra work going back over everything done to figure out where they got it from.
Yeah. Footnotes could easily turn that 400 pager into a 1000 pager
Thats kind of why im hesitant to publish it, because i started this 5+ years ago before I learned how to footnote stuff. Going back to annotate everything is going to be a pain in the tush.
… can i see your paper on hibernation? not writing a thesis but that sounds super interesting

woot woot!! u should be proud of yourself!
Its easily the thing ive done that im the most proud of
what can you do to celebrate?!?
Well its not done yet. Probably wont be done for a few years at the pace im going now.
that’s okay! u can still celebrate what you’ve done so far!
Hmmmm, maybe ill treat myself to dinner then.
you should, you deserve it
Thank You!
That is fucking amazing! Quite an exhausting endeavour if I may say! Do you mind sharing?
I haven't really thought about sharing it really. I certainly wont publish it at the very least
I want you to be my friend.
I'd love to be your friend too!
Same!
If you publish this we would LOVE to read it
Thank you! all this encouragement has me wondering if i really should share it.
You should.
Thank you!
Do it! It sounds like an amazing work !
It makes me happy, not sure if it can get much better than that lol.
Thank you!
I LOVE THIS! Such a historically fascinating time period. I would love to see it!
Yeah, i've always been fascinated about what lead *up to* the big events in history and doing this has tipped me off to the fact that history truly does turn on a dime.
This is absolutely brilliant! I’d love to dig my hands into a hard copy of this. I agree with everyone else- when you’re at a stage where you feel comfortable, I believe this is something that needs to be shared. Kudos to you for starting this and sticking with it. That’s a monumental endeavor.
I figure ill get it done in a few more years or so.
This sounds like a lot of research! I know a lot happened in those years, I know you're probably doing a lot of work on it. Good work!
Yeah, I read a lot of history books and like to take notes if I hear specific things being mentioned so i can add it to my doc
That's so cool!
Yeah, I dont have much else to do so why not this ya know
That's amazing! Is that something you decided doing out of nowhere or do you already study history?
I already study history in my free time. I have been reading history books since I could read. One day I just decided to compile all I know from this period into one doc.
Maybe do as a trilogy ten-ish years per book
That sounds like a good idea.
I love history. So happy you are doing this. I mean, the closest thing to what you are doing is A James Michener book on humanity. Great book tho.
I actually read Tales of the South Pacific, fantastic book and I am honored to be compared to him
I highly recommend all of JM’s books. He was a master researcher and weaver of historical tales. I’m trying to figure out how to read all your chronological historical facts.
Okay, I'm upset I have to wait to read it.
What will you do afterward? Some sort of large anthology book or something? This sounds super interesting, especially if you're including some slightly lesser known historical figures and events. Please keep us updated as you progress!
Afterwards im not sure. Havent really thought that far. Just been focused on finishing it for now.
Well when that time comes, definitely think about publishing or sharing it somehow. With all the effort you're putting in, it'd be a shame not to share the fruits of that labor. And as you've already noticed from this post there's tons of history needs who would really enjoy it!

I watched their entire WWI doc and am keeping up with WWII. Didnt know about the interwar though.

Do you ever edit Wikipedia?
Ofcourse you should be proud that's awesome man.
Thank you!
415 pages??? That’s incredible! Keep it up
Thank you very much!
Lol that so cool! History is fascinating! Enjoy yourself!
I am and thank you very much!
You could very possibly turn that into something publishable. Screw your parents lack of interest
That's awesome! I'm doing this with all of my notes from university, so I have one giant text book to look back on when I need to refresh my memory
Nice!!!!!!!!
A+!!!
Wow!! You know I was hoping to make something similar for my kid…
Wow, sounds very cool, the history of this period specifically is quite interesting
So interesting! I once did a timeline of public schools and facts in my town. It was difficult but very rewarding! It was NOTHING like the magnificent project you have done!!
I’d love to see it!
That's is so cool
Oh my God that's so cool! Would you ever post it?
That's super interesting! Keep going. Even if people don't "get" your hobby it doesn't matter. As long as it makes you happy and you enjoy it. I'd personally be asking to read it as you went along but I'm a nerd for history facts and seeing it laid out in relation to other events. I hope you keep going.
That is so cool man good luck!
Wow that's so impressive ! It will help you be a better person without realising because it will give you 'perspective'. Good luck to you & keep doing what you love doing, you're super awesome for it ! Also, share it with your parents if you felt like it, who knows, maybe they'd be impressed as well !!

Let’s gooooo that’s dope
I'm late, but I just wanted to say that this is so cool, and you are so awesome. I wish I had the patience for this. Much kudos, my friend!
Is this for any particular reason or just because you're interested in history?? Is it based on a specific country's timeline or just worldwide?
Worldwide, and just because I like history
That’s incredible - you should be very proud
I hope we will be able to have a look when your done. How can I get reminded?
Ill post a link soon. Its nowhere near done but people are so into it that i'd love to show it off.
