Give us a rough idea of what you like.
The whole “Today I Found Out” universe of channels.
Teaches you history, keeps you current on current events (Warfronts is particularly good for geopolitics as it relates to wars going on). Places takes you through interesting places all around the world. Mega projects is like the old Mega project show on the history channel. Astro graphics takes you into space. Brain Blaze is a huge silly tangent.
They’re a group of 4 people who play games together, but aren’t the super energetic and annoying type of content creators. You know the type I’m talking about. Plus, Stumpt usually seems to play a lot more indie games or every once in a long while anymore they may go back to m!neceraft for a mod pack.
Andy Cooks - amazing chef, easy to follow recipes (he uses metric first), but also a nice, down to earth, no-nonsense guy.
mapreadingcompany - navigation plus funny wierd facts
explainingcomputers - explains computers
paulsellers - hand tool woodworking
robwords - english language
citynerd - deadpan humour and sarcasm about cities
astonishingglasgow - local hisory about places in Glasgow
I’m a big fan of Emily the Engineer. She’s a similar chaotic energy as early Michael Reeves but less directly focused on “offensive ideas” or “things to hurt your friends”. The creativity behind both the projects and the videos is top notch.
Brick Technology makes cool mechanisms out of Lego to solve some simple problems
Bobby Fingers
Irreverent movie prop maker who builds diorama’s with a dressing of Irish humour.
Primitive Technology
Makes houses, tools etc, starting from just his hands and natural resources. No knife. No axe. No rope. No tarps. No dialogue.
Kraut
Does videos on history and culture. Helped me understand why Russian culture is the way it is. In-depth, informative and interesting.
Primitive Technology
Makes houses, tools etc, starting from just his hands and natural resources. No knife. No axe. No rope. No tarps. No dialogue.
Make sure you turn on the captions for that one.
Garand Thumb. Excellent humor, badass historical guns, and new badass guns, too. For example he dresses up as John Wick and has a rep from the company that made the custom guns for the movie bring in the guns, and they shoot them. Seeing a 12ga magazine fed shotgun shoot ~15 rounds in like 2 seconds is terrifying and awesome.
