The Mancunian reboot of Karate Kid looking good 👍

Reheated pizza on a microwave gang here.

It’s AFAIK democratic communism.

Like in a Viking way?

I once washed my mouth with nail polish remover

Someone messed up log rotation and the whole /var went ro.

Pulled the wrong lever.

I’m surprised that for quite a while he was considered a legal genius, up to his mayoral stint. Was he always like this or has it been something related to age/hubris/lead poisoning?

And miss news like this one?

There’s a very profitable industry that lives out of scarying this people. The same happened with that lady that killed a Uber driver because she thought she was gonna get kidnapped.

There’s a Behind the bastards episode dedicated to this subject worth checking:

Enter: The Barbieverse.

I did try gaming in a Mac, and it seems like Apple was trying everything to make it as unpleasant as possible (e.g., the opengl fiasco).

Oh-oh, here she comes
Watch out, boy, she’ll steal your board
Oh-oh, here she comes
She’s a sea otter

Climate Town - Does a decent job explaining climate-related topics and still makes them interesting.
Jay Foreman - Very funny map trivia.
JerryRigEverything - A bit too much promotion on some stuff, but really comprehensive tear downs.
MIT OpenCourseWare - learn good.
Pop Culture Detective - Deconstructive pop culture tropes that make you think a lot.
SNES drunk - retrogaming (not just SNES) but well done, 0% additives just prime content.
stacksmashing - electronics trivia and hardcore reverse engineering.
The National Gallery - If you’re into history, this is an excellent channel about art trivia. I’m not much into art and this is always top quality for me.
Tom Scott plus - Tom Scott does British telly stuff like playing board games or chasing people on the streets with an apple tag.
Voices of the Past - This is slow, exhaustive history for nerds. Worth it if you want to let the story wash all over you.
Vox - slightly left leaning great journalism, albeit sometimes too brief to explain complex topics.
Weird History - They get some stuff wrong, but it’s still entertaining.
Project Farm - Wanna buy an angle grinder? Now you do.
Insider - Had a series of “How Real Is It?” videos that let professionals describe stuff seen in movies, and it is both entertaining and a learning experience.
Corridor - Some stuff of dubious quality but if you’re interested in FX, it’s good.
LegalEagle - Law is hard, but is law fun?
brian david gilbert - Existential horror camouflaged as comedy.
PBS Space Time - Good but hard space science.
BurtBot - Orcs with normal voices.
Joel Haver - Neat if you’re into deadpan humor.
Taskmaster - Probably some of the best british television available in YT.

Bonus round:
Practical Engineering - How stuff is built but explained well enough that even I can understand it.

Plus, use FreeTube, not You Tube. Don’t be a slave of their terrible algorythm and all the recommendations will turn out to be of your taste.

If someone had to watch just one Incognito Mode video, I would recommend "future, followed by the second part in JonTron’s channel.

Kurzgesagt tends to push a lot of pseudoscience (e.g. carbon capture tech) and other stuff following the investment interests of their founders.

I like their animation style and honestly I wish they used proper data sources, however if you check the sources they mention on some of their more dubious videos they all come from some made up source.

This is particularly upsetting with everything related to parroting whatever Bill Gates is pushing (artificial meat, carbon capture, inequality is the teacher’s fault, climate change isn’t that bad, etc.)

Veritasium tends to push stuff that’s relatively promotion - based. Not so different to kurzgesagt.

I’ve seen a couple of rebuttals from his videos that were sobering.

EDIT: That said he’s a great communicator and his black hole video helped me a lot trying to make sense of it.
