Let's see, Nexpo if you like horror of any kind, DevilArtemis if you like anime or high quality animations, Jordan Howlett if you want fast food secrets, and Casual Geographic if you like animal facts even if they hurt.

A couple of Aussie blokes and their mates having some wholesome fun mucking about with cars bought sight unseen from the internet.

Your next question has to be sky related and rotate the picture up. Then ground and rotate down.

If you have 12 hours of idle time, there's a fantastic video on The Phantom Menace that really added to my appreciation for it. Bread Circus is amazing

EthosLab - the OG Minecraft Youtuber that other Minecraft Youtubers watch; somehow still innovating on redstone and technical builds to this day despite Minecraft redstone already pushed to its limits long ago, and his multiplayer shenanigans on Hermitcraft and Life Series is top notch.

Adam Ragusea - cooking videos made for actual home cooks who just want no-flair no-fuss recipes, as well as food science videos exploring and explaining different cooking methods and food chemistry. I'm particularly a fan of how he encourages you to measure and cook by feel rather than by strictly following recipes.

Lately I've been obsessed with Tasting History with Max Miller. He recreates historic dishes while exploring the history surrounding it. Very bingeable

Detailed video reviews of games primarily focusing on the narrative.

How is science and futurism with Isaac Arthur (SFIA) not getting more love? They are probably the highest quality and most educational videos on the entirety of YouTube. And while all of the videos cover the future, they cover wildly different topics and fields.

What will space travel actually be like? Will we live in space? What about new space sports? How will space effects our diets? What about AI? How will it effect our lives and hobbies? Mind uploading? Clark tech? Dyson swarms? O'Neill cylinders? Could the entire universe be a hallucination?

Also shout-out to PBS spacetime

Tbf, Isaac Arthur will sometimes propose ideas that absolutely no hope of working such as orbital loops. While I get that he's not an engineer, videos like that tend to be a blemish on his reputation.

I also like Primal Space when it comes to space videos. His animation are amazing

Despite him being on the side of the canadian freedom truckers AVE has some of the best power tool teardowns

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, anything with DewClaw was great, the tool breakdowns are usually good, but he's lost the plot a bit lately.

Characters Welcome- 'Totally not a cult' and 'Two trenchcoats inside of a kid'

I have several excellent YT channels to recommend, in alphabetical order:

Accursed Farms - The source of the "Freeman's mind" series, Ross also makes excellent videos about other games.

Alasdair Becket-King - ABK is a comedian who makes short but really funny videos.

Anders Enger Jensen - A Norwegian musician making awesome synth songs.

Barely Sociable - Interesting videos about odd topics, focuses on "dark" stuff, has a good voice.

Brick Experiment Channel - Remote controlled submarine made out of Lego and other Lego stuff, need I say more?

Calum - A guy from Scotland making amazing videos about stuff like: Rescue buoys from WWII, WV Beetles at the south pole, Flying homes of the past, Jerry Cans, Secret WWII Bunkers, and much more. This is awesome.

Code Bullet - Chaotic AI programing, very fun and cool to see.

DankPods - Started with iPod Repair videos, reviews random crappy MP3 players, has insane amplifier to blow up headphones, mostly talks about weird nuggets of technology. Well worth a look.

James Channel - Do you want a portable Super Nintendo, but are worried about not breaking it? DankPods oldmate will show you how to do it with some random components, duct tape and hot glue.

Jet Lag: The Game - A game show where the planet is the board, they have played connect 4 across the US, Raced around the world, played Tag across Europe, made New Zeeland into a board game, played CTF across Japan, and more, really good!

Mustard - Exellent transportation documentaries, with great CGI.

Paper Skies - Son of a Soviet air force pilot talking about how life and work in the Soviet air force was.

Paper Will - Documentaries about "dark" topics like "The ugly side of kids TV", "Entertainment made by cults", "Games about 9/11", really interesting stuff!

Peter Dibble - Want to learn about the bus running on the wires of a ski lift system? You can here! You can also learn about that time that Amtrack brought a Swedish and a German high speed train across the US for tests in the 90s.

Ringway Manchester - Videos about two way radios, amateur radio and other things on the airwaves.

Side Note - North Korean cruises? Hitler's Birthday? US presidential yachts? An ice block in Sahara? Mysterious Egypt/Israel flights? A floatibg hotel in North Koera? What do all of these topics have in common? They all have videos on the Side Note channel.

Only real homies watch Dankpods.

Loouis Rossman. He's interesting to listen to.

MobileTechReview (https://www.youtube.com/@mobiletechreview ), Lisa's reviews feel the most authentic to me without too much bullshit and they always helped me with my buying decisions.

My favorite channel would have to be Destination Adventure with Dustin Porter. Why this guy doesn't have 10,000,000 subscribers is beyond me. Not only does he go to some amazing places, but he's a really gifted videographer. Everything about them is top-notch, and he does it all by himself. The amount of B-roll stuff he gets must be a tremendous amount of work. He picks great music too...
