June 23 - Typing out a treaty on a console

June 23rd has a few interesting facts.

The patent for the QWERTY typewriter was received by Christopher Soles, Carlos Glidden and Samuel Soule in 1868.

The Antarctic Treaty (which has come up in a bunch of my youtube algorithm feeding me the hilarious videos where scientists have to deal about debunking flat earthers) was signed in 1959 but went into effect on this day in 1961.

And this one, realizes I'm old, and I was even a little too old for this; the Nintendo 64 came out in 1996.
