Ah, some others: RobWords - great videos on the origin and history of the English language (mainly focused on British English, but some great videos on the origins/differences in American English and British English), and other general language history videos. Today’s video is about Celtic languages. Skallagrim - Medieval weapons (and in older videos, firearms) Anton Petrov - Daily science news story, usually space-focused (but not always) Steve Mould - Science exploration Oversimplified - History, humorously presented ZeFrank - Hilarious animal “documentaries” Some others that have been mentioned: Overly Sarcastic Productions, Extra History (and sister channels Extra Mythology and Extra Credits), Veritasium, Tasting History with Max Miller ---

Soft White Underbelly. Not exactly an “escape” as it generally breaks your heart to watch. The interviews with people from all walks of life are fascinating and reinforce “never judge a book by its cover”. ---

> [@HeyHomie](#): > > [Beryl Shereshewski](https://www.youtube.com/@BerylShereshewsky) (American woman who crowdsources recipes from her viewers around the world and tries to make them) I am a semi – vicarious Beryl watcher, meaning that my wife regularly watches her videos, and if I overhear something interesting I will sidle on over and watch with her. One of the things I do appreciate about her is that she will get a recipe, make it, and then say “this might be for people who like ice cream to taste less like durian” or something equally polite, but clear that it’s not to her taste. I do also like seeing the videos from around the world. I subscribe to too many board game and chess channels to even list here, in fact I have the FIDE channel on right now to watch the candidates matches, but also I like - hbomberguy, Who makes 3+ hour videos debunking things, which you would never in a million years think you would watch a video that long, and yet you find yourself doing it. - Thomas Flight, who posts thoughtful pieces on cinema about once a month. - brooey deschanel, who also posts thoughtful cinema pieces ---

Glad to see there’s another Jolly Channel watcher here. I love their videos…even if they sometimes rhapsodize a bit _too_ much. I especially like their vids with kids enjoying new-to-them foods – both US and UK kids. Plus, I love Mr. Smith the head (is that the correct term?) of the school in the UK where they feed kids unusual foods. Also, when they visited a Trader Joe’s in the US, it was _my_ Trader Joe’s. I was pretty jazzed. I like to watch animal rescues with happy endings. And funny dachshund videos . But mostly I just surf. I don’t watch anything religiously. Randy Rainbow used to keep me sane, but I haven’t seen any of his lately. ---

> [@Kron](#): > > Yep, I refused to watch any of his videos because of the clickbaity titles, and couldn’t understand why they kept being recommended to me. Finally watched one, and it wasn’t bad, but I sure do despise the naming structure… It was because of a Chubbyemu video that I was able to recognize the signs of medically severe dehydration in myself when I got rotavirus last year. If I hadn’t called 911 when I did I might’ve passed out and died in my hotel room. The least I can do is look the other way at his clickbaity video titles.
