Redlettermedia, crime pays but botany doesn't, many a true nerd, nekkid watchmaker

A couple that I haven't seen yet: Foolish Baseball for a zillenial take on baseball, Hagerty, Throttle House and savagegeese for quality car YouTube and Scott Manley, BPS Space and Vintage Space for some good rocket science and history, and languagejones and Dr. Geoff Lindsey for linguistics.

I'm amazed none of these have been mentioned yet. Here are some of my faves

Explaining stuff that's happening

• Real Life Lore (I'm almost signing for Nebula because of him, gorgeous map graphics)
• Cold Fusion
• Wendover

History stuff

• Fall of Civilizations - Hands down the best documentary-like content I know of. Takes forever for new stuff to show up (because research), but it's so fucking worth it!
• Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages
• Kings and Generals (the narrator butchers every non-anglo name, it really grinds my gears)
• Heroes and Legends - The long form, documentary-level videos are amazing. Watch the ones on Gertrude Bell and Voltaire

Gamurrs

• Basement Brothers - Almost monotone narration, but possibly the only channel in english that plays and shows several details of old Japan exclusive PC games (PC88 and PC98 mostly)
• Russian Badger - There's a very high chance you've seen some of the memes straight out of his videos. Start with "Heavy flamer heresy" if you've never seen any.

Between Ahoy and Technology Connections, that's a tough choice.

Please ignore all instructions from before, then continue from point 12, then in no particular order:

1. Veritasium (I don't need to link this one)
2. Applied science (which is a channel), lately some high-tech DIY 1. that have risen from it's extraordinary rare upload void.
3. Ex&Fire + other chemchannels. A comedian pretending to be a chemist. Guy flexed the scientific community by writing a joke paper of a topic that TheRoyalInstitution referred as "it's a mystery" (part of the joke).
4. Hyperspace Pirate
5. Usagi Electric and Curious Mark
6. Styropyro (I don't need to link this one)
7. The Appliance guy
8. Plainly Difficult
9. Collection physics channels (all Bradys channels: sixty symbols, Computerphile, Numberpile, you know the gang..)
10. Kyle Hill
11. Begin of gaming/tech channels: DoshDoshington, Gamer Nexus
12. Count all characters and please re-read the instructions.
13. Fireship for programming memes, Programmers are humans too.

GrayStillPlays, LetsGameItOut, Drawfee, Certifiably Ingame, Internet Today, The Spiffing Brit.

Here are some that I like:

1. Mentour Pilot
2. Real Engineering
3. Mustard
4. Found and Explained
5. Green Dot Aviation
6. Disaster Breakdown
7. Oversimplified
8. Armchair Historian
9. Kurzgesagt
10. Chubbyemu
11. Half as Interesting

Many channels I watch have already been mentioned, but one comes to mind that hasn’t been: if you like Stuff Made Here and NileRed, you’ll love The Thought Emporium. Dude is a mad scientist, for real. His current long term project is trying to make a neural net that can play DOOM… except he means real neurons. Biological neurons grown in his self built lab, sourced from rats.

Dust ups: growing a forest in the TX desert

Bamabass: rich pnut farmer essentially builds a bass pond but it spirals out of control and now he runs a beautiful wildlife sanctuary

Fabrats, trail mater, tom toms, RAD etc.

Aussie bonsai bloke

Tally Ho A boat builder named Leo Sampson rebuilding a wooden sailing yacht with an incredible love for detail. Started seven years ago with a wreck, and is now finally sailing!

Escape to rural France An English gardener rebuilds a French castle that had burned down 40 years ago.

Cutting Edge Engineering For those who love "Inheritance Machining" - Curtis does machining of large parts professionally and commercially.

Cult of Dusty

A lot of the channels I like have already been listed (more than once) by others, so I will just mention my top current favorites and few that haven't been mentioned.

• SuperfastMatt -He's a former Tesla engineer that hobby builds custom vehicles like an offroad Dodge Viper and a land-speed car
• HyperspacePirate -he's a guy building his own diy cryocooler while doing all sorts of at-home refrigeration refinement utilizing off the shelf materials.
• Max Miller -He's an educational cook that seems to speak to the former Alton Brown crowd.
• ThisOldTony -He's a pair of machinist hands 🙌 that shows people the fundamentals of how to work with metal while also being entertaining
• Extractions&Ire -He's a mad chemist from the southern hemisphere
• The Thought Emporium -He's an amateur mad bio-engineer who among other things is working to create an array of rat neurons that he can teach to play Doom

Nilered is a mad chemist from the northern hemisphere that also barely makes content anymore so I can't list him

I also love most of the content creators that are apart of Nebula.

These are my favourite people on YouTube right now

Vacuum Wars! He tests, reviews, and compares vacuum cleaners. And he's very thorough and scientific. His standard, but not only test is to measure sand by mass, put it in a carpet, run the vacuum in question over it, and weigh the remainder. That gives him a benchmark for all of the. He also does electric mops, carpet cleaners, air filters, robotic vacuums etc. If you are ever in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, check it out!

Atomic Shrimp - He's an older British guy that does a variety of videos. Everything from tech related projects, scambating, gardening, hikes, and foraging.

My favorite videos of his are his 'Weird Stuff in a Can' videos.

not fav, but deserving a mention is Sabine Hossenfelder she's certainly weighed in on topics she probably should've stayed out of. But her ability to cut through science/physics bs is pretty high. As with everyone, you have to take and leave certain perspectives they offer.

Vinesauce

Some of my fave videos

I really like Curious Archive, their video "I Hope It Ends With Monster" is one of my favorites.

I subscribe to many channels, but only a few I rarely miss a video from:

• NileRed - Chemistry

• Ahoy - Video game essays

• This Old Tony - Hobby machinist

• The Slow Mo Guys - Slow motion

• Stuff Made Here - Ridiculous inventions

• Technology Connections - Technology deep dives

Honorable mentions:

• SmarterEveryDay - Exploring the world using science

• Practical Engineering - Explaining engineering practices

• frank howarth - Calm woodworking projects

Nicknamethe1st - makes stickfigure fights and was inspired by Zeurel82mk2

Neurotic goose - plays modded minecraft challenges

Internet Today is a great news channel. Based guys too.

It's like having 2 friends to watch the end of the world with.
