I have a couple, completely unrelated ones.

alex lennen - Great channel on comic books, especially Marvel. Presenter is also really funny and full of energy.

BobbyBroccoli - If you're at all interested in academia and science in general, check him out. Really nice information presented in a visually pleasing way.

lambdaxx - Super niche, but if you like the game EU4, he's probably the best one to watch to really get better.

M. Laser History - Great channel on medieval European and Slavic history, with some forays into other periods. Great quality overall.

Tasting History - Cooking show with a history segment. Overall nice quality and you learn a lot.

The general reaction to this post being "Who's Matpat?" is super interesting to me. And the comments saying that Tom Scott and Matpat aren't old are also interesting since they follow the trend in Lemmy of the average age being a lot older than any other social network. I'm Gen Z and primarily consume content via a very Zoomer-heavy platform, YouTube, and the only other social network I have is Lemmy, which I'd say is very millennial-dominated. Which is why I stayed on Lemmy when I first got on here in June, since I liked the difference in opinion on the same topics on Lemmy and YouTube. Nothing related to the post, just something I've noticed for a while but never shared.

I'm not really sure what my biggest weakness is, but I'll just say its my crippling fear of asking people for stuff. So now, either people ask me for things, or whatever I ask other people to do is immediately done? More confusing than a strength I'd say.

Pinkerton by Weezer. Its my favorite album of all time. It also introduced to a while bunch of other great albums, namely American Football's first album and Kid A by Radiohead. And El Scorcho is an absolute banger.

Back when I still took the bus to school, all the buses where and still are electric. Great to see it being nationwide!

"So that's it, huh. What are we, some kind of, Odyssey?"

Or maybe the meat worm

Squidward named finger:

“Unfortunate” doesn’t begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don’t see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won’t get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but World Cup is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I’ll suffer through a few more games for them.

One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.

Started listening to Buddy Holly by Weezer ironically for the meme edits some months ago, now Weezer is my favourite band.

My 3DS has it too!

But Lemmy users poop only every 3 days, remember?

He's also making an actual movie on an indie horror game he played, Iron Lung.

The subscribers list shows only subscribers from your instance I believe. Like for me, the lemmy.world meta community has less than a thousand subscribers, but that's only because I'm on lemmy.ml. Can't imagine those nutjobs have too many subscribers anyway, though.
