rule

Technology Connections: Deep dives into the random everyday tech around you. If you have ever wondered how your air conditioning or a traffic signal works, check it out.

Macho Nacho: Game console modding. Installing mod chips and software mods, explaining their benefits and drawbacks, etc…

Adam Savage’s Tested: Adam Savage from Mythbusters is a prop-maker turned machinist. He hosts a show where he does all kinds of tool tips, workshop experience, war stories from his time in the film industry, etc…

AvE: Machinist with decades of experience goes through tool reviews/teardowns, machinist experience, etc…

The Modern Rogue: Two certified idiots cover everything from attempted weapon builds to whiskey tasting.

Skill Tree: LARP’er tries to make his own gear.

Eoin Reardon: Traditional carpenter restores hand tools

Smarter Every Day: Scientist goes on a journey to learn as much as he can. He covers everything from nuclear engineering to why a frisbee is shaped the way it is.

Practical Engineering: Civil engineer explains how and why infrastructure is built the way it is. He covers everything from river dams to the slopes leading up to highway overpasses.

I’d highly recommend:

Technology connections; he does in depth videos about the engineering of household appliances we often take for granted.

Bernadette Banner; she does videos about historical textile arts, weaving, sewing, ECT.

Lindsey Nikole; she does videos about ancient animals, Zoology, and Paleontology.

Ze frank; he does irreverent videos about interesting species of animal.

A communist, a socialist, and an anarchist walk into a bar, and make a podcast about engineering disasters. I was convinced to listen to Well There's Your Problem when I heard that the episodes about the Titanic were a combined five and a half hours. My favorite episode is probably the one about the Byford Dolphin

Angela Collier makes a variety of sciencey videos. Less Kyle hill, more Sixty Symbols. If you're the kind of person who reads a title like "alkaline water ...with lemon" and immediately laughs out loud, and also doesn't mind listening to an explanation of exactly why, scientifically, that statement is funny, you'll probably like her

CJ the X isn't so much nerdy, but by God does he share about his interests. Here's nearly a half an hour about how skipping the first 5 minutes of Tangled makes it a better movie. Here's a video essay about Bo Burnham's Inside, that's nearly twice as long as the actual special. His channel's banner reads "im not talking 2 fast ur listening 2 slow," and I think that's a perfect description of his energy

Adam Savage runs Tested, and I don't think I need to explain why it's nice listening to Adam Savage talk about literally anything. If you were a fan of Mythbusters, he has endless stories about the show, the people who made it, and how it impacted his life. That's not all he talks about, but it seems to be the main draw to his channel

I post lil videos of microbes to music. I set everything to creative commons so anyone can use my music or videos if they want.

Edit: should probably leave my channel name lol - Parker's Microbes

History nerds:

Forgotten weapons for everything in relation to firearm history

Drachinefel for all things naval

Sandrhoman history does very good siege videos

Real time history does great traditional docs

TIK history is a madman who did a 40+ part series JUST on stalingrad

Historocrat does a bunch of long form videos about different topics from loch Ness to bronze age collapse

Probably missing some but these guys are all super into it

Treantmonk is a guy who does in-depth D&D math, I've been playing that game using his ideas for like two decades now and his channel is called Treantmonk's Temple
