      The video where he installs a transparent panel on a dishwasher is enthralling, and I never thought I’d be so interested in his continual pursuit of the perfect Christmas lights.

      All presented with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it dry humor and 90’s PBS editing.

    Tom Scott does great stuff, and I found him through Computerphile years ago.

    If you like board games, check out No Rolls Barred.

    Veritasium and Smarter Every Day are good educational channels about science. Nile Red too.

    I can give more if any of these are hitting for you.

      Am I right in thinking Tom Scott is quitting / taking a break soon? I’m sure I saw something along those lines.

      Definite +1 for No Rolls Barred. I recently discovered them through their Communist Monopoly House Rules episode. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed that much at a video.

        That video was amazing and I’m glad they’re getting tons of views and recognition for it. They introduced me to my favorite game, Blood on the Clocktower. I’ll throw that playlist on and fall asleep to it all the time.

      Does anybody else find Tom Scott annoying?

      I love channels that deep-dive into the details of things, etc. But I’ve always found Tom to be so smug and patronising.

      Is it just me?

        He’s just very British, I think. IIRC, he also plays a bit of a character inspired by BBC reporters of his youth on camera.

        If you listen to him in a context other than his main channel (I love his Lateral podcast) he doesn’t come off as smug at all really.

    I don’t know these were posted or not but here is my suggestions which every youtube watching person probably already heard about most of them:

    Not Just Bikes: Channel about Urban Planing-Living and how destructive the cars are.

    History Matters: Short animated videos about historical events, narrated with humor.

    my mechanics: Best and most detailed restorations ever.

    NileRed - NileBlue: All about experimenting with chemical reactions.

    Oversimplified: Like the name, oversimplified narrations of historical events but in a long form with animated depictions and humor of course.

    Stefan Milo: Really informative research videos of archeology.

    The Linux Experiment: Like the name suggests it’s all about Linux.

    Bad Lip Reading: It’s in the name.

    ChrisFix: Best car repair channel out there.

    DIY Perks: DIY videos but heavy on the entertainment side rather than the doable diys.

    Ethan Chlebowski: Trying to understand cooking from the perspective of homecooks.

    Alex (the French Guy Cooking): Reverse engineering the recipes.

    Brick Experiment Channel: Building Lego machines.

    These all are high quality channels imo. There are a lot more but I am kinda lazy for now.

      Even though I kinda like “Not Just Bikes” it feels a bit too much of a pro Netherlands propaganda channel for me.

      In comparison a “Honest guide” just feels more honest.

      Also I have to add “Brick Technology” since it’s the “Brick Experiment Channel” but more.

    If you’re into bread tube / left tube, I highly recommend Innuendo Studios. In particular, Innuendo Studios’s playlist, “the Alt-Right Playbook.” It helps make sense of internet discourse.

    Sampson Boat Co. - British man and friends rebuild wooden sailing boat. If you have any interest in boats or craftsmanship you’ll enjoy. Watch from the very beginning to see their incredible progress.

    Beau Miles - Charming and slightly rough Australian man has strange adventures and philosophizes along the way. He gets excited about particularly useful/edible bits of trash along the highway.

    Primitive Technology - Silent man with blue shorts exists alone in the jungle and has been working his way up to iron tools. He is freakishly fast at making fire with only two sticks. Watch in order to see his progression and turn on captions to see his commentary.

    Spirit Of The Law - Extremely thorough Age of Empires II science and analysis. If you thought this 24 year old video game was dead, think again.

    Settled - Old School RuneScape player plays the game with extra restrictions that create surprisingly compelling storytelling. “Swampletics”, his Morytania-locked Ultimate Iron Man is legendary.

    DIY Perks - British guy makes mostly brass/wooden PCs and other tech. His creations aren’t always the most practical but they are always interesting. His slim PlayStation 5 was neat.

    There’s a handful of sustainable farming channels that I like: No-Till Growers, Richard Perkins, and Josh Sattin Farming. If your interests include food or growing stuff then these are for you.

    I’m mostly into educational channels:

    • CGP Grey (infrequent posting schedule, but really good when he does)
    • Minute Earth (Quick Earth science videos)
    • Minute Food (Quick food science videos)
    • Technology Connections (explains new and old technologies)
    • Kurzgesagt (general science with cartoon birds)
    • Mark Rober (over the top engineering)
    • The 8-bit Guy (retro computing and pc gaming)

    Then there’s “You Suck at Cooking” for silly, but good recipe videos.

    “Film Joy” for deep dives into films

    “Lock Picking Lawyer” to watch a guy pick any lock in a few minutes (addictive)

      +1 for primitive technology. Interesting guy that goes out to some empty land in I think Australia and builds houses and all kinds of stuff with just his hands and tools he makes himself. He is going for forging his own iron knife now, which is insanely impressive.

    The China Show. Latest Video shows the astonishing destruction from the floods in Beijing and how the CCP is doing their best to cover it up. Literally. No, actually literally. Timecode is about 7:20 if I remember correctly.

    I’ve been binging their videos for 2 weeks, and learning so much about how China actually works.

      Oh no, not the racist sexpats. Not sure I would necessarily want to be using those guys as your source of news in China. Laowhy is an absolute piece of shit to his wife, and actually made a video of himself desecrating gravesites in Taiwan and laughing about it. Complained that his daughter looked too asian. Just an absolute piece of garbage.

      They found out being condescending towards Chinese people sells right now, and that has been their entire brand since they left the country. They’re probably useful in that anything they say, you can assume the exact opposite is the truth.

        Wow a wumao! I didn’t expect to see one here!

        Give my regards to Winnie.

        You know Winston and Laowhy86 are fighting for you and against the CCP right? You know they only want the oppression of the CCP to end and for China’s people to be free right? You know every single episode like 5 times they will say ‘and we aren’t talking about the Chinese people, the Chinese people are good people, we love China, we are opposed to the CCP’?

        If you want to talk smack about Laowhy then you better provide proof. I’ve seen what you guys do. Winston liked a comment from someone who said ‘that toilet needs to be napalmed’ and then all you wumao’s are like ‘Winston wants to napalm Asians!’

        It’s not working, Mr CCP Shill. Come over to the light side and help us criticise the CCP and expose their racism, oppression and corruption that is holding back China’s development. Don’t do it for me, do it for the Chinese people who deserve better than Xi Jinping’s tyranny.

          Shock, the guy who watches racists is a racist.

          ‘and we aren’t talking about the Chinese people, the Chinese people are good people, we love China, we are opposed to the CCP’?

          The white man’s burden bullshit argument. Oh those poor Chinese people can’t possibly really support the CPC, they are just misguided and need us brave foreigners to come save them.

          If you want to talk smack about Laowhy then you better provide proof.

          Laowhy desecrating remains. His girlfriend (at the time) calls him out on it and he tells her to shut up because it makes good content. Nobody who loves China descreates their dead. You can’t even use the excuse that he was confused or didn’t know what it was, he was told to stop and refuses.

          His treatment of his wife. Makes her sit on the floor of the car while he makes racist jokes with his family. Sorry to link to reddit, I don’t keep extensive archives of these guys.

          Not expecting you to suddenly change your opinion on the CPC, but these guys in particularly are indefensible and nobody should be encouraged to watch them.
