A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Kurgesatz was really good before they started the black mirror season, where every video is about how humanity can get killed by various things.
Never heard of the other ones but I'll give it a try.
And there's a PBS video for anything you can think about, sometimes they just don't surface properly with search.
They're honest, direct, open, and willing to learn, I love kurzgesagt. The world sucks, but we shouldn't shy away from understanding why it sucks and how we can improve it
I am big fan of their prepandemic work. But if you can get past their click bait videos, I think they still do good content.
Science pieces spreading awareness about something are their best videos.
This recent video on fentanyl was very good.
The south korea one, the vaping and weed ones. Very good at condensing complicated topic while still retaining pertinent information that's new and not patronizing.
People in this thread who dislike CGP Grey because of one bad traffic video.
I learnered about some interesting looking channels from this thread so I'll pay it forward and share some that I like.

University course lectures are still the best and you can find tons of them in YouTube in their entirety.
Anything by Robert Sapolsky ftw! Really enjoy his delivery style.
Also:
LockPickingLawyer
How To Cook That
Captain Disillusion
Pilot Debreif
Stand-Up Maths
It's a mix of interesting and meh to me, but if Stand-up Maths got your interest, you might want to take a look at Numberphile as well.
I’ll add Captain Disillusion to this thread
If you wanna learn from the best chef in the world:
You Suck At Cooking! Yeah, you totally suck!
Or Preppy Kitchen if we're being serious
Legal stuff:
Meidas Touch and Legal Eagle
Retro video and music devices:
Techmoan and VWestlife
Also: Tom Scott. Or at least his backlog because he retired.
And a very important one! - Science stuff: Potholer54 I can't believe he doesn't have millions of subs. It actually kind of makes me sad.
Kur is being shit recently with Bill gates
It's been fairly neoliberal for awhile now, I can't remember which video it was but one of them really put a bad taste in my mouth. Whatever it was, imo it felt very apologist of capitalism. I unsubbed after that.
Vsauce
Also veritasium, 3blue1brown, practical engineering, adam savage kinda too
Feels warranted to also drop a mention of Physics Girl.
She's been going through hell for the past couple of years but she finally seems to be getting better.
I love threads like this where we collectively come together and share our YouTube subs and we all grow stronger every time we find a new one to add to our list
