Science + Technology

  • Applied Science - In depth videos about random science-y things this dude finds interesting. No clickbait, just an excited dude talking about a project he tried.
  • Atomic Frontier - A lot like Tom Scott. He’s also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail. Generally focused on science-y topics + has shockingly high production value considering the dude seems to be an overworked college student.
  • NileRed/NileBlue - Crazy in depth chemistry videos. Personally find NileBlue more entertaining as he tends to explore things he’s not that great at.
  • Practical Engineering - Explanations of various civil engineering concepts.

Thanks for the list, I’m sure others will appreciate it!

I’m actually subscribed to almost all of those channels lmao. I skipped several because I’m being picky, and I mean picky. You probably won’t agree with a lot of my decisions. Here’s what I mean…

  • I did a thing - forgot about him I’ll add him to the list
  • Micheal Reeves - Last real video was a year ago
  • Backyard scientist - Unsubscribed a while ago due to clickbait. From a quick glance his videos seem fine now though.
  • Mark Rober - Video quality has been going downhill. More and more clickbait, and videos seem to spend a lot more time than necessary on "look at our happy family fun time we’re having."
  • William Osman - I like him just not enough to put him on the list
ddonuts4,

1 more dude I skipped but I’ll put here - Stuff Made Here - Insanely skilled engineer who seems to be able to make just about anything. Skipped because his thumbnails are horribly clickbaity.

ddonuts4,

+1. I love this guy because he’s not just another one of those new urbanism YouTubers complaining that every American doesn’t have 10 trains showing up at their house every minute and anyone that disagrees is mentally compromised (see: “car brain”). He instead focuses on feasible, practical, incremental solutions to our problems over shouting about the “kill all cars with fire immediately” solutions.

I didn’t post him because I figured the audience on Lemmy would eat me alive for saying all that.

ddonuts4,

Valve needs to hire this person, my god. Love that they seem to really understand what users do with steam instead of just looking at it from miles away, removing every feature + calling it a redesign.

Steam’s UI has long been the worst part of using Steam for me, to the point that I actively avoid using any steam features I don’t have to. While they’ve made small parts of it prettier over time, figuring out how to do anything you haven’t done before is difficult, there’s clutter all over that makes information like reviews harder to scan, and to top it all off, every single page has a different UI I have to figure out.

Got a Sony Bravia OLED and it’s set up as a dumb TV, turns on instantly + I never see the Smart TV UI, not even a logo.

What I did was decline everything at setup, hook up to the Internet via Ethernet once to update, unplug Ethernet and set it to turn on to last input.

ddonuts4,

Valve would never sell fake digital goods. Hats? Gun paint jobs? Nahhhh that’s beneath them. I mean worse still, NFTs can be traded on the secondary market, which would be completely ridiculous for a company to allow for cosmetics in a video game of all things.

ddonuts4,

House centipedes may look like some prehistoric creature from the depths of hell, but really they’re like spiders, they’re your friends - they kill and eat bugs. You just don’t see them as often because they’re terrified of humans and zoom away at light speed when they see you.

ddonuts4,

Google actually does this already with trade-ins, they gave me $300 for an iPhone SE worth $100 on the second hand market.

ddonuts4,

I believe there’s a slicer setting somewhere to always travel within already printed material, which prevents stringing entirely if there’s no disconnected pieces in a layer. The problem is I set it a long time ago when I had issues, then forgot it.

Are you aware that granola is basically muesli with sugar and/or honey?

ddonuts4,

Sounds risky AF

  • If the rocket explodes, nuclear fuel could fall back to earth
  • If not de-orbited properly, the nuclear fuel could end up scattered across a country - This already happened… multiple times… in 1973 1977, 1983
  • If something goes wrong in orbit, now we have radioactive space junk… numerous accidents have already happened many times
ddonuts4,

I just use the tried and true method of unsubscribing and watching another channel

ddonuts4,

You’d think, but honestly I’ve still found a helluva large amount of good channels that don’t do this.
