Just about nothing besides a song I wanna hear really quick

I give this fantastic YouTuber a vote for those into ancient civilizations and human evolution. https://youtube.com/@StefanMilo?si=VmwsXFkjloG8L6Z5

From my subscriptions:

Prozd Plays Games is a great let’s play style channel. He’s a voice actor and pretty funny.

NileRed is a chemistry madman who does very interesting experiments.

Technology Connections does deep dives into all sorts of household technologies: dishwashers, heat pumps, electric cars. He also dabbles in film photography, pinball machines, and other stuff I’m definitely forgetting.

Practical Engineering is a very high quality educational channel on civil engineering. Lately he’s even started going to work sites and filming projects as they go.

Folding ideas does very well researched video essays. His flat earth video a couple years ago really took off but basically everything he puts out is incredibly interesting.

Tom Stanton doesn’t upload much but he does model airplane and custom ebike content mostly.

Jenny Nickleson uploads once or twice a year now with theme park and weird media video essays.

… and many others that are a lot more hobby specific…

It’s super nerdy and technical, lord knows I probably don’t understand a good half of what he talks about, but CuriousMarc’s channel. I don’t think I’ve been as fascinated about anything more than his ongoing series to get the Apollo Guidance Computer and other Apollo systems from the original moon missions working again.

• GeoWizard: Maybe famous for his Geoguessr content, but he also makes really fun “Missions”, where he for example crosses a country in a completely straight line.
• Small brained american: travel blogger, funny and still meaningful. He even goes to places like Ukraine and Iraq.

One of my current favorites is Robot Cantina.

He transplants lawnmower engines into regular cars and tries to make them go as fast as possible in various ways.

The Post Apocalyptic Inventor. The guys about self sufficiency in machinery and workshop stuff. Pretty fun and relaxing. One of the more genuine and down to earth YouTubers I know for the moment.

These are the ones I watch regularly. Most of these channels offer educational content.

Lock Picking Lawyer - You’ll quickly realize that locks only keep honest people honest. I even got my own set of practice picks to play around with.
Deviant Ollam - A professional penetration tester, whose job is to infiltrate secure facilities and tell them how to improve their security. He takes LPL’s expertise, and puts it into practice. Start with his “I’ll let myself in” talk.
Veritasium - Dude talks at a camera about some niche science and tech concepts.
Technology Connections - Charmingly dorky dude in an t-shirt and blazer explains how everyday items work. Everything from air conditioners to jukeboxes and coffee makers. He’s a big part of why I’m not afraid to troubleshoot my own appliances.
Primitive Technology - Dude goes out into the middle of a forest and builds stuff with nothing but handmade tools. Turn on closed captioning!
Macho Nacho Productions - Retro console modding and emulation, featuring installs and reviews for some of the most popular mods and emulation tools.
Pirate Software - Former Blizzard/Amazon game dev is making his own indie game. There’s also a healthy dose of offensive digital security sprinkled throughout, because he’s also a greyhat hacker.
Practical Engineering - An engineer explains and demonstrates all kinds of engineering concepts, in a simple and easy to follow format. You’ll start seeing examples of his concepts all around you.

• James O’Brien’s weekday talk show from the UK. Always intelligent, sometimes witty, and very compassionate.
• Tim Pierce’s guitar channel. He is one of the top session musicians in LA, but also a very humble and thoughtful man.
• Michael Popok on the Midas network. Definitely opinionated (leaning left), but he really explains the legal issues around current events (especially the Trump trials) very well
• Space Ice movie reviews. When you can’t get enough ridicule of Steven Seagal
• Dr Glaucomflecken: very funny and perceptive views of the American medical system. Every doctor I know loves it

YouTube, for me, what MTV used to be. Music videos and live concerts. That’s all I use it for.

Oceanliner Designs - lots of interesting videos about titanic & other ships of that era.

Caitlin Doughty/ask a mortician - lots of cool video essays about death

B1M - lots of cool engineering related videos

Evan & Katelyn - lots of cool resin creations… gives me cooking channel vibes where after watching a video, i have an intense urge to make things i dont need.

Well Theres Your Problem - a podcast about engineering disasters… with slides

Tasting History with Max Miller - a cooking channel that is also a history lesson… super cool

In addition, just a bunch of urban planning youtube (city beautiful/city nerd/oh the urbanity, etc) & video game content
