The video where he installs a transparent panel on a dishwasher is enthralling, and I never thought I’d be so interested in his continual pursuit of the perfect Christmas lights.
All presented with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it dry humor and 90’s PBS editing.
If you haven’t done so already, do yourself a favor and subscribe.
Came here to suggest the same. This is the channel where they can make several long videos about dishwashers, while keeping it interesting and it makes you question all lifechoices afterwards: https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04
I can also highly recommend this video about a toaster: https://youtu.be/1OfxlSG6q5Y

Tom Scott does great stuff, and I found him through Computerphile years ago.
If you like board games, check out No Rolls Barred.
Veritasium and Smarter Every Day are good educational channels about science. Nile Red too.
I can give more if any of these are hitting for you.
Am I right in thinking Tom Scott is quitting / taking a break soon? I’m sure I saw something along those lines.
Yeah, end of the year. Link to a lemmy world post
Definite +1 for No Rolls Barred. I recently discovered them through their Communist Monopoly House Rules episode. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed that much at a video.
Does anybody else find Tom Scott annoying?
I love channels that deep-dive into the details of things, etc. But I’ve always found Tom to be so smug and patronising.
Is it just me?

I don’t know these were posted or not but here is my suggestions which every youtube watching person probably already heard about most of them:
Not Just Bikes: Channel about Urban Planing-Living and how destructive the cars are.
History Matters: Short animated videos about historical events, narrated with humor.
my mechanics: Best and most detailed restorations ever.
NileRed - NileBlue: All about experimenting with chemical reactions.
Oversimplified: Like the name, oversimplified narrations of historical events but in a long form with animated depictions and humor of course.
Stefan Milo: Really informative research videos of archeology.
The Linux Experiment: Like the name suggests it’s all about Linux.
Bad Lip Reading: It’s in the name.
ChrisFix: Best car repair channel out there.
DIY Perks: DIY videos but heavy on the entertainment side rather than the doable diys.
Ethan Chlebowski: Trying to understand cooking from the perspective of homecooks.
Alex (the French Guy Cooking): Reverse engineering the recipes.
Brick Experiment Channel: Building Lego machines.
These all are high quality channels imo. There are a lot more but I am kinda lazy for now.

Even though I kinda like “Not Just Bikes” it feels a bit too much of a pro Netherlands propaganda channel for me.
In comparison a “Honest guide” just feels more honest.
Also I have to add “Brick Technology” since it’s the “Brick Experiment Channel” but more.
Yeah I’ve been subscribed to both of them too but like I said I felt lazy to write all of them. Also Honest Guide’s content range is broader and video styles are different. But Brick Technology is also good.
NJB is really pro Netherlands but I am kinda okay with that because I really didn’t consume any media before that are pro Netherlands so it has a place to join with the pro America, UK and France media I guess.
