    • Fan The Deck - Steam Deck news and commentary

    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.

    This is a csv file of really high quality channels that you can directly use in Piped: Proton Drive Link to csv file

    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.

    Gaming

    • TheRussianBadger - gaming with good humor and editing

    • Max0r - gaming with good humor, voice acting, and insane editing

    • Linus Tech Tips (and its other channels) - LMG has been making some very good changes since their first response to their recent controversies. If they actually deliver with them, then all of these channels should be good to watch. Mac Address should be fine to watch as it has been stated that the channel and group affiliated are kept somewhat separated from the rest of LMG for various reasons.

    • Hacksmith Industries - cool Sci-Fi irl building channel

    • Shadiversity - medieval weapon and armour experimentation

    • ElectroBOOM - shocking experiments

    • Major Hardware - 3d printing and fan design showdown

    • Donut - good car content

    • Fact Fiend - miscellaneous facts and British banter

    • Bosnian Ape Society - If you’ve seen Nvidia Bread, then you’ll understand.

    There’s more that I could # recommend, but I couldn’t figure out how to describe them.

      Gamers Nexus and The Linux Experiment kinda rubbed me the wrong way in a way that I’m not sure how to describe, so i personally couldn’t get into those when I tried BUT I can vouch that they are both popular and Gamers Nexus in particular is well endeared by the PC/Gaming community

      • @KrispeeIguana@lemmy.ml
        1•2 years ago

        That’s understandable. When I first saw The Linux Experiment, he felt almost like a 3D render rather than a real human being. Gamers Nexus can get pretty passive aggressive.

    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)

  • @planetaryprotection@midwest.socialEnglish

    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.

    What I think are underrated channels, alreayd listed channels removed. Some have irregular schedules but still worth checking out.

    Animals

    • Cal Falcons: live stream of a falcon nest on a rooftop
    • Deep Look: small world biology (PBS)
    • Journey to Microcosmos: smaller world biology (Hank Green)
    • Saveafox: domestic fox rescue

    Science/Tech

    • Captain Dissilusion: video editing vs disinformation
    • Cody’s Lab: currently building a “Mars” habitat
    • The Friday Checkout: weekly tech highlights

    Music

    • CSGuitars: electric guitar science
    • First of October (Andrew Huang, Rob Scallon): very constrained songwriting
    • Rhythm in Africa: sub-Saharan instruments
    • Wataru Kousaka: Japanese instruments

    Pop culture

    • Game Changer: improv comedy as a game show (CollegeHumor)
    • Overanalyzing Avatar: “This man is dead. Appa killed a man”
    • Solid jj: voiced superhero comic parodies

    History

    • Jay Foreman: British culture and/or maps
    • Lateral with Tom Scott: lateral thinking puzzle as a podcast
    • Objectivity: very interesting objects (Brady Haran)
    • Sam O’Nella Academy: badly researched and animated trivia satire
  • @sighence@sh.itjust.works

    Echoing some other suggestions surely, but here are a few that I regularly come back to:

    GAMING:

    • CallMeKevin (really funny, wholesome Irish guy known for playing games kinda hilariously incorrectly )

    • GameGrumps (two best friends playing games and riffing. Usually very funny and wildly inappropriate. Feels like gaming with high school buddies)

    • Outside Xbox/Outside Xtra (small team of British friends with lots of quirky, easily digestible “7 things” lists over the years)

    • Dungeon Dudes (pretty broad and approachable dives into all things D&D)

    • Smooth McGroove (older channel with many delightful a cappella renditions of video game songs)

    COOKING:

    • Babish Culinary Universe (super approachable, funny, and well-edited cooking tutorials with fun themes and lots of room to be wrong)

    • How to Cook That (Ann Reardon is a super knowledgeable, friendly, crazy talented baker, and she does a lot of good work to address and debunk dangerous & stupid trends on social media)

    • Joshua Weissman (similar vibes to Babish, but a little more overtly comedic. Does great recreations of fast food classics)

    SCIENCE & TECH:

    • Technology Connections (deep dives that make mundane things in our lives seem super fascinating)

    • OzTalksHw (very wholesome, budget-friendly PC builds with an emphasis on self care.)

    • ZeFrank (excellent, accurate, and very funny short nature documentaries)

    • NetworkChuck (friendly, well-edited tutorials on lots of IT-related things)

    ENTERTAINMENT AND OTHER/MISC:

    • Kitboga (fairly wholesome considering the content area. He exposes and confronts phone scammers with hilarious made up character voices and fake websites & accounts, and he teaches people what to look out for in the process. Lots of swearing and shouting from scammers that he regularly pisses off by wasting their time and getting their accounts closed)

    • Watcher (Ryan and Shane do a lot of different interesting things, and their banter and chemistry are infinitely watchable. Puppet History is a particular favorite)

    • Digging the Greats (really cool deep dives into the makings, origins, and fun facts about all things hip hop)

  • @Proofofnothing@sh.itjust.works

    I’ve seen it listed a bunch but i want to highlight project farm.

    It is a great channel that tests everything tool related including commom household products. Definitely check it out before buuing any tools really.

      They’re great, watching their skits makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, and some good laughs.

      +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.

  • @t0fr@lemmy.ca
    8•2 years ago

    kurzgesagt - Science & Education - I personally love their videos of nuclear technology and their videos such as “What if we nuked the moon?”
