Climate Town - Does a decent job explaining climate-related topics and still makes them interesting.
Jay Foreman - Very funny map trivia.
JerryRigEverything - A bit too much promotion on some stuff, but really comprehensive tear downs.
MIT OpenCourseWare - learn good.
Pop Culture Detective - Deconstructive pop culture tropes that make you think a lot.
SNES drunk - retrogaming (not just SNES) but well done, 0% additives just prime content.
stacksmashing - electronics trivia and hardcore reverse engineering.
The National Gallery - If you're into history, this is an excellent channel about art trivia. I'm not much into art and this is always top quality for me.
Tom Scott plus - Tom Scott does British telly stuff like playing board games or chasing people on the streets with an apple tag.
Voices of the Past - This is slow, exhaustive history for nerds. Worth it if you want to let the story wash all over you.
Vox - slightly left leaning great journalism, albeit sometimes too brief to explain complex topics.
Weird History - They get some stuff wrong, but it's still entertaining.
Project Farm - Wanna buy an angle grinder? Now you do.
Insider - Had a series of "How Real Is It?" videos that let professionals describe stuff seen in movies, and it is both entertaining and a learning experience.
Corridor - Some stuff of dubious quality but if you're interested in FX, it's good.
LegalEagle - Law is hard, but is law fun?
brian david gilbert - Existential horror camouflaged as comedy.
PBS Space Time - Good but hard space science.
BurtBot - Orcs with normal voices.
Joel Haver - Neat if you're into deadpan humor.
Taskmaster - Probably some of the best british television available in YT.

Bonus round:
Practical Engineering - How stuff is built but explained well enough that even I can understand it.

Plus, use FreeTube, not You Tube. Don't be a slave of their terrible algorythm and all the recommendations will turn out to be of your taste.

If someone had to watch just one Incognito Mode video, I would recommend "future, followed by the second part in JonTron's channel.

Kurzgesagt tends to push a lot of pseudoscience (e.g. carbon capture tech) and other stuff following the investment interests of their founders.

I like their animation style and honestly I wish they used proper data sources, however if you check the sources they mention on some of their more dubious videos they all come from some made up source.

This is particularly upsetting with everything related to parroting whatever Bill Gates is pushing (artificial meat, carbon capture, inequality is the teacher's fault, climate change isn't that bad, etc.)

Veritasium tends to push stuff that's relatively promotion - based. Not so different to kurzgesagt.

I've seen a couple of rebuttals from his videos that were sobering.

EDIT: That said he's a great communicator and his black hole video helped me a lot trying to make sense of it.

I played the hell out of xcom: eu and xcom2 (with all the expansions). At a point I realized I'll have to scumsave my way to the ending, and so I did.

Honestly I had a better time than just having to restart the campaign because my prime team just got annihilated by a chosen, as going whith all grunts mid-campaign was like being a fan of the NY Jets.

RimWorld sans mods is a great story teller:
My play allowed me to build a big colony within a mountain like in dwarf fortress, then I woke up an ancient terror like in df, but something unexpected happened when two of the remaining settlers, a kid and an old lady where able to escape.

I got them to escape the map, then resettle with almost impossible odds, with just the shirts on their backs, no food, tools nor weapons and the kid's just a kid.

Fast forward some odd 20 hours, their tribe was able to come back and re-take the base.

Which is something I've never seen in DF.

What do you mean? It is just cool aid.

you've heard so far

Beans on a toast is my favorite band.

Conq'er? I hardly know her!

"Hello, this is dog." big time energy.

I haven't used yet Lemmy either.

What is this? Russian Seinfeld?

Shaka shaka pata pon!

Yub nub

This could well be a plot by Northern Italy to get rid of the South.

I hate ligatures and I use ligatures if they are available.

Such is the duality of horses.

It's inverted because on most occasions the y axis represents time, so less is better.

In order to not have bemchmarks where a lower result on the Y-axis is worse, they kind of invert it for scores.

I know it is confusing, but it helps non-technical people.

Wild guess: APM?

Edit:
It seems that chromium here on these benchmarks is unoptimized and it depends on what flags where enabled during building time: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/6q3AyYacjOo/m/XKQMdW4fBgAJ

Are you sure we're talking about the same movie?

It is quite memorable

While that can be well and true now, I had been called before Gen.X then Gen. MTV, there was a time when we were the screwed generation (with similar adjectives to it), then millennials (I was already working though before Y2K, and recently I heard someone refer to FPS from my teen years as a "boomer shooter".

I've been through more generation changes than a dragonball character.
