Each result carries its year and, more usefully, why it mattered -- these are written as short explanations rather than dates to memorize. That makes them work as trivia, as writing prompts for historical fiction, and as classroom starters. This Day in History is the odd one out: it opens on today's date rather than waiting for you to press Generate, so it's worth a look even if you don't draw anything.
Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.
