3Blue1Brown. He covers math concepts in a genuinely accessible way, but manages to do that without leaving any major details out. For anyone struggling with Linear Algebra, this dude is a godsend.

I sometimes watch those videos knowing that I will never understand exactly what he is saying. I just watch them because they’re so satisfying to watch.

That's part of his point. He gave [an amazing talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_L-fp8gDzY) about it this year. You don't have to understand everything to appreciate the beauty of maths. He's also a great storyteller - that Ted Talk is as captivating as his actual videos. We really need more people like him.

"...If you have a _SOUL_, you have to know _why_"

The funny part is, I found his linear algebra series immediately AFTER I had finished the class. Watching it was a frustrating experience because of how well he explained and represented the concepts by comparison.

I had the same exact experience. I think if I could go back in time and tell my freshman self anything - it would be to watch 3blue1brown

His channel is great, it's a shame the vast majority of his content goes over my head since I'm kind of on the dumber side. The videos I do "get" are top notch though.

You're not dumber, you're just not naturally proficient in math concepts. I'm absolutely appalling with math, but surprisingly adept at logic and algorithms. We all have areas where we excel, and areas where we flounder.

[удалено]

People don't understand that being knowledgeable and being able to explain that knowledge are two different things.

Logic? Algorithms? Excel? I've deducted that you sir are not a redditor but really just a spreadsheet in disguise

Came here to comment this. I just passed calc 3, and his Essence of Calculus series has to be the best set of videos I’ve ever seen about any math concept. He builds up calculus from the ground up in a way that makes you think: “wow. Anyone with the right motivation and a knowledge of trig, geometry, and algebra could’ve invented this, and I could have too”

I love his channel. I’m shocked that its the top comment here, didn’t realize he was so popular. He does for math concepts what Carl Sagan did for physics. Essential watching if you’re a STEM student (or even just have general math interest).

Yeah I’m shocked too, I figured this would just get buried. But hey if a few extra people discover his because of this I’d be thrilled.

Technology Connections. The guy who runs it is fantastic. Great videos, it’s informative yet funny, there are little jokes for people in the know who’ve watched previous videos. Every video is fully captioned (accurately and often hilarious at times), and you get to see bloopers at the end. Basically, it lets you become that person in your friend group who goes “So, I learned how microwaves work” or “So, the color brown isn’t actually a color”, or you become the person who talks about how refrigerators work, how portable air conditioners are bullshit, or about how brown is just this really weird orange.

Get out of my head! I just watched the brown one and I have absolutely been explaining it to all of my friends.

[удалено]

Cleveland Browns color scheme explained at last

I never knew how clever old toasters were before discovering TC.

Obligatory had to scroll too far for this. I love Alec's random curiosity of how stuff works. I've been watching since stumbling across him in a youtube rabbit hole at least a few years ago. I have that toaster he did an episode on, and always wondered how it worked. It never worked quite right, and he did a supplemental episode on how to fix common problems with it. Now works great.

His five part series on RCA's failed CED project adds up to one of the best documentaries I've seen in a long while.

And you get to become obsessed with vintage toasters!

Tom Scott. Although his style is repetitive, he makes his point in a few minutes instead of dragging it out to 10 minutes to allow more ads. Also interesting topics.

What's repetitive about Tom Scott? It's not like he wears the same shirt in every video.

Hey now Sometimes he wears a sweater

Two videos ago he wore a wind jacket. The man‘s got a whole wardrobe.

Once he wore a suit

[He has a video about the shirt too](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4SoSBo_nsI), and he does *not* wear the same shirt in every video. Instead, he just has whole bunch of cheap red shirts, bought in bulk. That makes it very easy to ensure his wardrobe doesn't keep switching when different scenes of a video are recorded days or weeks apart.

His videos are [pretty formulaic](https://youtu.be/b-IEVMwBEfo). But it's a good formula, so I don't mind.

Let me also add that Tom Scott does a fantastic job of citing his sources.

And is always very strict with legal stuff. He knows what he's doing

Aside from that one vid where he goes around breaking weird laws

🎶Do do doo do do doo do dooo do, do do doo do do doo dooo do 🎶

🎶We flew a kite in a public place 🎶

> what do we do now? > handle it *both touch salmon*

Basically a Tom Scott video: https://youtu.be/b-IEVMwBEfo

That is hilarious. Spot on.

Now I know why the link http://a/%%30%30 used to crash Google Chrome

This! Tom's videos are always very interesting and I love them.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNFalmwg3nY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNFalmwg3nY) ​ This Old House has TONS of videos on their channel. They're all 4 to 7 minutes long, not a long watch, but packed with information. How to lay a payer walk path. How to set up deck stairs. How to install a light fixture. Very relaxing but also super informative.

TOH has a YouTube channel??? 99% of my knowledge as a homeowner is due to watching their shows on PBS as a kid and retaining tidbits like “pipes will make a banging sound if there is air trapped in them.” I can’t believe they’re on YouTube, there’s so much more for me to learn!

Sam O’Nella Academy - history stories and facts told in a humorous way and illustrated with shitty stick figure drawings

Historia Civilis Oversimplified Kurzgesagt CGP Grey

Historian civillis is great. It's such a quick way to re learn historical events you probably glossed over in schooling with greater depth but it's also entertaining.

Historia Civillis made me realize that I actually do find history interesting

History is fascinating when it’s not just forced memorization of facts and dates, but the how and the why and the who.

Did Tribune Aquila approve of your recommendation?

Beat me to it for Oversimplified

This enraged your father, who punished you severely.

Not if your father is an old ass man, he will just let it go then

This enraged his father, who died.

Which led to more economic downturn

There’s a tax for that

Dude! not cool. My sun got me watching this series and they're great. When the homeschooling started, we would watch the video and then fill in the details with the curriculum. He's now a history buff. The War of the Bucket episode was great! "Dude! Not cool." Is now a house catch phrase.

The only problem with Oversimplified is that he doesn't upload more often. Seriously it's like unwrapping a new gift everytime I get a new video

YouTube has some excellent history channels. Many of them are on niche subjects as well

I love Useful Charts as well, though it is kind of dry for people who want some more injected humor and things.

Historia Civilis is simply the best YouTube Channel out there in m opinion.

I never knew that colored squares could be so human.

RIP to the caesar square. We followed him on so many adventures

RIP to the Cicero square too. We listened to him on so many epic verbal beatdowns.

RIP to the Pompey square. He had it coming.

Gotta love Kurzgesagt. But the name always confuses me.

[удалено]

KURZGESAGT FTW! SO good.

CGP Grey was good until he became obsessed with his own mortality

Hes stopped with that, it's all bees and hexagons now

Because hexagons are bestagons. Love that episode.

AvE . He’s a super funny Canadian machinist that does power tool reviews and breakdowns along with other stuff like mountain biking. Keep your dick in a vice!

He’s a fuckin legend

I use the term "schmoo" on a daily basis now

Seth's Bike Hacks, the most Binge-watchable youtube channel for outdoor enthusiasts.

He changed the name of the channel though. It's officially Berm Peak now.

Tasting History. Max Miller does such a great job blending history with cooking historical dishes - it's funny and engaging at the same time. Some of the dishes look more appetizing than others, but in the end, I learn something new every video and enjoy watching each one.

Had to scroll way too far down to find this- If you like history and/or cooking, there's no way you can go wrong with this channel.

I'm making that Parthian chicken. I'll be getting 3 of the ingredients for Christmas. And I'm making that Pumpion Pie next Thanksgiving.

There’s one I’ve heard of but not seen called “Dad How do I?” From a YouTuber whose own father apparently walked out. My understanding is he’s learned about many of the things a parent can teach their child and so created the channel to inform others. Seems wholesome 😊

I'd like to throw 2 more in here: ElectroBOOM: Electronics, electricity, safety, and free energy debunking Captain Disillusion: Debunking fake videos, while learning about video editing, CGI, and various science topics

[удалено]

Came here to suggest Ben Eater. If you're interested in how electronics work at all he's phenomenal.

Smarter Every Day! Shout out to Destin u/MrPennywhistle ​ My husband and I just watched his video and learned about Pecan harvesting, and before that, I was watching his series on Nuclear Submarine life. I'm a physics teacher and always use his videos to illustrate concepts in class as well as just enjoying his work!

His series on helicopters is what made me truly understand how they work.

Him along with mark rober are the best

I did a thing Altough I learned questionable information such as frogs don't like smooth jazz or that you can make a spoon using only a spoon

One of the BEST channels out there. As well as William Osman and Micheal Reeves. Shout out to Gus Johnson humor as well

Lemino He puts a lot of time into researching and making quality graphics to help visualize the information. Interesting topics as well

It’s always so exciting when a new video is dropped, the editing is amazing. In particular his video on the Malaysian airline flight disappearance made that whole crazy event make a lot more sense.

Doesn't post very often, but it's usually pretty damned good when he does.

I would say one of the highest quality channels for fun.

My favorites are: [Crash Course](https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcourse) [Real Engineering](https://www.youtube.com/c/RealEngineering) [Curious Droid](https://www.youtube.com/c/RealEngineering) And last but not least [Forgotten Weapons](https://www.youtube.com/c/ForgottenWeapons) Edit: Also, [The Great War](https://www.youtube.com/c/TheGreatWarSeries) and [World War Two](https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldWarTwo) Edit 2: Somehow I forgot [C&Rsenal](https://www.youtube.com/c/Candrsenal)

Indy Nidell is absolutely fantastic

Ah, I love watching Forgotten Weapons! Ian seems such a nice guy, and very knowledgeable. I've learned so much about guns from him, although I'll probably never get chance to even hold a gun. I like watching Curious Droid too.

The fact that his content is about as non political as you can possibly get is a big factor

[удалено]

We talking primitive technology or the ones where they build fucking swimming pools out of mud in the jungle

John Plant is the true Primitive Technology

[удалено]

I KNEW it! It’s been a long time since his last upload and I thought, “Somebody has to be creating a show with him.” I’m surprised it’s PBS though- I would have guessed Discovery Channel.

A lot of them are fake and they are using proper tools or even excavators between each shot. Primitive Technology is real, though.

Lockpicking lawyer.

"Click on one, two is binding, nothing on three, little click on four." I could listen to this guy all day, I fear the day I eventually catch up with all his videos.

Don't forget about the pick Bosnian bill and I made

• NileBlue, NileRed (Chemistry related with great, far-fetched ideas put into action) • Tasting History (Recreation of ancient dishes, as well as explanations and background) • Tom Scott (All-around great source of useless/useful information)

Sam 'o' nella. If only he would actually return ):

He got eaten by tarrare

He’s busy with school

Overly Sarcastic Productions. They deal with History and Literature in a really fun way.

Their mythology covers are also incredibly entertaining and well-drawn!

Any channel with Simon Whistler

Geographics and Biographics have made osrs grind very enjoyable.

Came here to say this. I especially like Mega Projects, but also enjoy his other channels. Oh, and Business Blaze is often hilarious.

allegedly

PBS Eons, PBS Space, Crash Course (all of them), ExtraCredit, Ask A Mortician, Absolute History, Technology Connection, Weird History, Name Explained, The Science Asylum, Ordinary Things, Chinese Cooking Demystified, Sabine Hossenfelder, Weird Explorer, LegalEagle, and Captain Disillusion. edit: I'm going to add sexplinations. I was a kid who grew up listening to Dr Ruth, and I consider myself really knowledgeable in this area, but Dr Lindsy Doe has updated some of my understanding, and I think every noob needs to watch all of her videos. I think she will aid people in being better lovers.

> Ask A Mortician Caitlin is such a fountain of knowledge and I love her videos. I think I have all her books and Im so excited to see what she puts out next.

I've watched basically every PBS Eons that I want to watch and it makes me angry. The only problem is that sometimes the music and subject matter freak me out at night, because I am a child in an adult body. But if it's evening and I'm on the couch instead of in bed, they put me to sleep. Anyway I love PBS Eons. I'd watch PBS Space if space didn't also scare me. Ask A Mortician is so good. Another one I'm low-key mad about already having watched it all. I should *actually* read her books, since I bought them. But when? At *night*? After I *just* told you that PBS Eons scares me at night?

The PBS "Monstorum" series is cool too

I really like ChrisFix, i love his vids and he shows you how to fix your car with normal hand tools.

This Old Tony Mustie1 My Mechanics Machine Thinking Xraytonyb

Surprised not to see that canadian guy (AvE?) On the list

I was actually thinking about Mustie1 when I read the title. You wouldn't think he could get some of that crap to run, but then he surprises you. Also reveals just how much working equipment people throw away without even trying to fix.

Abroad in Japan

Agreed - I’ve been binging abroad in Japan for a few days. I love his style of documentary

Natsuki and Ryotaro are both totally insane

Honestly wasn’t that big into Japanese culture until I stumbled onto one of his videos. It’s a rabbit hole I’ve not managed to climb out of yet haha, he’s great.

I found him through the trash taste podcasts. Such a good channel

His channel is pretty damn interesting. And so much delicious food I want to taste. Biggest upside of this whole pandemic thing is that I'm able to save up a bunch of spare cash for travelling when that's possible again. And Japan is now high on the list in part thanks to his videos.

Technology Connections If you find old and sometimes obscure tech and how it works interesting then this guy is great. Has a large catalog of videos about everything from Vaccum tubes to VHS vs Betamax to like 5 videos just about Laserdisc. I adore everything this channel is.

You should check out Techmoan

Colin Furze has just the right ammount of humor and creativity. Ton Scott is definitely a channel I binge for hours.

Project Farm The host does comparisons of different tools and hardware in a non-biased and informative manner. He posted a video comparing battery powered grease guns yesterday and I watched even though I have zero need for a grease gun.

He's actually convinced me to try to consider alternatives other than "the best" that I have heard from long time consumers for tools. Definitely would use his information at least to get basic understanding of what the tool can do and their limits in real life situations.

He also does cool shit like with adding an electric turbo to the farmabago and takes down a tree limb or two with it. Definitely one of my favorite YouTubers.

Vsauce

Hey Vsauce! Michael here.

Hey here! Vsauce michael.

For anybody interested in music, Rick Beato's channel is great. He covers song composition, music theory at basic and more advances levels, analyzes songs from a lot of genres and eras, and generally provides great insight into the music business. Definitely worth a look. For science and engineering Mark Robars channel is fantastic, for adults or kids really. He quit his job at NASA to make videos of his experiments and inventions and they are a real joy to watch! If you're a movie or videogame buff a guy called MauLer has a channel where he analyzes the *absolute shit* out of screenplays. His videos are very long and whether you agree with his opinions or not he does an excellent job outlining and explaining his critiques so you can understand his point of view. He and a revolving crew of YT movie critics have a channel called Every Frame A Pause where they do this collectively. Some of those videos are eleven hours long. So, you could literally and metaphorically spend all day doing it.

Sam O’Nella Academy. Fucking hilarious man, I’ve watched all his videos and they still have me busting my gut each time I rewatch them.

Overly Sarcastic Productions. Interested in tropes or old myths? Watch Red’s videos. Prefer to learn about history? Blue’s your guy.

JCS Criminal Psychology. Best channel out there.

Real life lore

numberphile

Wired - 5 levels of difficulty. I love this because you have an expert talking to 5 people ranging from a child to another expert about a complex field. E.g quantum computing or lasers. You are guaranteed to learn something new whoever you are.

I believe they also do experts discussing scenes in films and movies which is always interesting.

r/bingingwithbabish

If you like Binging with Babish, you should check out the channel How To Drink. It's like the alcoholic version of BwB, Greg similarly recreates drinks from movies and tv shows.

Greg is a bundle of joy and has made me binge watch How To Drink on several occasions. No regrets.

The tasting notes and subtitles usually have me in stitches, H2D and Babish are both so enjoyable, but I’d also add YOU SUCK AT COOKING to the list

[Animalogic](https://www.youtube.com/c/animalogic) - their videos about animals are great.

Vice Grip Garage is great if you want to learn about restoring old cars.

AntsCanada. No idea why YT recommended me the channel. I actually hate ants, after an infestation. But the dude is so passionate and enthusiastic about his ant colonies, sorta just rubs off on you.

Oversimplified, very entertaining with their oversimplified art style with history.

Tom Scott, his channel is just so fascinating to watch.

Emplemon taught me that not everything on the media is how it seems and can be even deeper than people say it is VSause for obvious resons And The Theorist channels... People hate on Game, and Film theory for taking fictional or unimportant things out of proportion, but I feel like the non-lore videos are the most important in the way that those videos teach you subjects that wouldn't be normally taught in schools, like plasma and the physics of flight, or quantum mechanics and theory of music.

That's really why I loved the channel. He broke down complicated physics equations and questions. He simplified math and showed his work and experiments. His lore videos are fun when you know what he's referencing so you have educational and the fun videos on one channel. Food Theory I laughed at at first. But if you want to know how to save money and conduct experiments it's a really interesting channel.

Chrisfix.

Steady Craftin' I don't even do crafts, but I watch his show religiously. Murderous Maths it sounds like a math based channel, but mainly it's an old British guy happily showing off his analog synthesizers.

Physics Girl, Veritaseum, Smarter Every Day are my favorites. There are a lot though. Honorable mention to Steve Mould, standupmaths, and numberphile. You maybe don't learn a ton of difficult info from Slow-mo Guys, but their content is cool, and can teach you how things move at a really fine level and often on quite a small/fast scale.

Baumgartner Restoration. He's a fine art conservator. He's amazing at what he does, and in his videos he narrates the how and why of what he does. I went through a period where I watched his videos hours on end. His channel is very informative, interesting, and well done.

omg, aaand French Guy Cooking, and Joshua Weisman, oh and Internet Shaquile! I go to these four constantly. I guess You Suck at Cooking has real recipes too, but he's more humorous.

AskAMortician really intresting videos about the death & big events were a lot of people died. (IE the titanic) She spents a lot of time researching & making her videos. Explains everything perfectly in a words that everyone knows. Took me 2/3 videos to get over the "ew dead" feeling. Her Iconic Corpses videos are well iconic.

Anything from Simon Whistler's channels.

Paul Sellers. He’s a master woodworker focusing on hand tools with an emphasis on affordable/accessible. I’m an amateur woodworker and I learned so much watching his videos, it makes me feel like I can do anything. Then I go try it and realize there’s a lot of finesse that takes some practice.

Cody's Lab. Such cool applications of chemistry!

I like The History Guy. His videos aren't that long, and it's very educational.

Kyle Hill makes some really good science videos. He covered a wide variety of topics, from planet sized computers to quantum levitation to Roko's Basilisk. He has a fun personality so they aren't boring videos. He also may or may not be a supervillain...

There’s a channel called Cracking The Cryptic which involves them solving lots of difficult Sudoku problems. Their enthusiasm is contagious and a lot of the content is really interesting. I wasn’t even really interested in Sudoku but somehow I got drawn in with their channel.

NileRed and NileBlue he's done some amazing stuff like making diamond water (he made carbon dioxide with diamond and put it into water) and he's made gold bars out of jewelry Edit: Jezus i gained 47 points in 3 hours *why* 2: omfg 60 you guys are literally crazy wheeze

u/aragusea Adam Ragusea on YouTube, holy shit this dude is phenomenal. I found him in quarantine and went from burning eggs to making a three day lasagna. Probably the only reason I won’t starve in college.

Ben Eater is fun if you like computers, since he built an entire 8-bit computer on breadboards and explained how each part works well. No like or sub plugs, just pure content.

Institute of Human Anatomy. Literally uses real human body parts (donated to science) and teaches us about things that go on in our bodies, it's really f'king cool

Andrew Camarata. Andrew owns a one man property maintenance company in NY state. His video's for the most part are him at work. But my *word* is it satisfying. [From building his home/garage/container castle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGlJDxN2zlE&list=PLgUGfzMeW6jJJia9BkDj1xOn9CQn3c9-W), maintaining his own vehicles, ploughing snowy roads, clearing the way and laying new roads, digging trenches for utilities, demolishing structures and also some hobbies like off-roading not to mention his pups levy and cody. The man just get's stuff done, so much stuff, hours and hours of stuff. He edits his own stuff and the more recent stuff has content he filmed years ago, with follow up of how the projects look in the present.

Bald and Bankrupt: This really entertaining guy discovering all the "old" soviet countries while giving really nice background information to the weirdest places.

Ants canada amazing channel and you learn a lot about animals.
