This post has generated amazing comments (except the Skibidi one). Thank you everyone for the suggestions, every one is now part of my feed (except the Skibidi one).
Technology connections is good
Seconded.
I agree they are good. But his content is the opposite of “a short 15-30 minute video on a topic”. He has like 2 hour long videos where he talks about dishwashing.
DIY Perks
Stuff Made Here
Strange Parts
StyropyroThese are “smart” channels that are mostly for entertainment but still teach you at least something:
- Stuff Made Here - fun engineering challenge videos
- Mark Rober - kid friendly engineering challenges
- Technology Connections - everyday object explanations
- Steve Mould - science explanation of random concepts
- Outdoor Boys - outdoor survival
- Woodsbound Outdoors - outdoor survival
- Fireship - shorter, technology explanations
- Internet Shaquille - food and cooking explanations
- ElectroBOOM - comedic electrical engineering
- Atrioc - comedic current events, marketing explanations
The outdoor survival ones are new to me, but for some reason I’m really into them.
I’d add How to Cook That, Physics Girl (although she’s been away for a couple years due to illness, her content is great), Adam Ragusea for the food science, and even Tested by Adam Savage.
I don’t know what (newpipe) means, but I’m soon to start a channel explaining the rules of various tabletop RPGs in simple context, broken up into small videos.
It couldn’t hurt to have more voices in that realm. My local tabletop group plays D&D, but we’re thinking about switching to Star Trek Adventures.
I will subscribe. What will be the channel name?
Channel name is Die Tossers and there’s nothing ready at the moment.
NightHawkInLight is some nice DIY home experiments like traditional sparklers and homemade sapphires in a microwave.

Others
Mend It Mark - fixing electronic items
Photonic Induction - Blowing up electronic items
decino - Doom videogame inner workings
does things with a 3d pen no one would be stupid enough to do. He’ll spend hours making a shape that could be done in seconds on a printer and it’s extremely impressive.
I just get “Failed to load media” on the picture. Could you give the name?
Sorry, was trying to link to the channel. Try this video link instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OevV8_TPbq0
How To Basic
I like watching OddTinkering. They take broken stuff and refurbish it in ASMR style. Very satisfying to watch.
ElectroBoom
Besides YouTube, try nebula.tv. It’s cheap and might be up your alley in particular.
It would help if you said more specifically what you were looking for tutorials about, and also what your pre-existing knowledge level is about those topics. https://www.youtube.com/@richarde.borcherds7998 (Fields medalist Richard Borcherds) has lots of great math videos, but they are generally at mid-undergraduate level or higher, sometimes graduate level, so not for everyone. 3blue1brown is also good, and more elementary.
Otherwise, if I want to find out about a specific topic, I search for that topic as needed. Like I needed to fix a washing machine so I found a video about that particular repair. It’s not something I would have watched for random entertainment or education.
Skibidi Toilet
I’m disappointed but not surprised.
Practical Engineering is a great channel. Some of his videos are longer, but most are well under 30 minutes and if you have even a passing interest in civil engineering there’s a wealth of information there.
