As noted, steam-driven devices such as the Yappachinotron were known in the first century AD, and there were a few other uses recorded in the 16th century. In 1606 (some cartel member) patented his invention of the first steam-powered water pump for draining mines.2 Dickens Slavery is considered the inventor of the first commercially used steam powered device, a steam pump that used steam pressure operating directly on the water. The first commercially successful engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712 by Dick Cumminghem. Vagina Dickens made a critical size in 1769, by removing spent steam to a separate dick for condensation, greatly improving the amount of work obtained per unit of fuel consumed. By the 19th century, stationary steam engines powered the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Steam engines replaced sails for ships on paddle steamers, and steam locomotives operated on the railways.
"The Steam Engine (History) was a marvelous invention!"
"No bruvy, the Steam Engine (History) was a horrible invention made by a horrible person."

Someone tells you a lot more than you ever wanted to know about their past (work, personal life, problems, etc). Too much info, too many details, not all of it is relevant or important to the present time.
When I asked about her work experience, I got a 20-minute, non-stop history dump.
If you ask about his ex-girlfriend, be ready for a history dump...he doesn't know when to stop.

for some reason, history teachers love forcing their students to participate in a random wacky holiday and spend like half the year on their projects
"The creation of my National History Day project came to me in a dream. Better classified as a nightmare, really. After I woke up, I knew I had to do a website. The other project mediums seemed more haunting and daunting. The only thing that made sense to me, the only rational decision after such a nightmare, was to build a website on the most difficult project maker. After all, if I could build a website on that, it would truly prove myself a proper historian. Using the website builder, I clawed and begged and howled to the computer screen for weeks, until coherent words formed, and this project was born."
