OT: what are the most random things you watch on youtube?
- Thread starter aTotal360
- Start date
chimney sweeps, orphans from London in the 1700's
I've been strangely attracted to videos about crops we used to grow that have mostly disappeared with the dominance of vegetables and fruits and grains that ship well and store forever. If it doesn't meet those qualities only a few weirdos around the world keep that heirloom stuff going. It seems important.
Amazing the variety of things like bananas and potatoes there are that you will never see in a grocery store.
ETA and stuff like this. Incredible how many things that are now ubiquitous around the world came from small remote regions, or islands in this case, less than 500 years ago...

I seldom go directly to YOUTBE, but I seem to end up there alot.
Among other things, stuff like this....

Recently been watching folks cruising America's Great Loop and British folks cruising their canal system on narrowboats.
Trek Trendy. He travels on all the luxury trains and first class planes like Emirates.
The Essential Craftsman. I can watch him all day.
Knot tying on YouTube should not be as interesting as it is to me.
Project Farm is product reviews.
The Car Care Nut is a Toyota Master Tech, and his nitpicking of modern vehicle horseshittery is refreshing.
AvE is an irreverent angry Canadian mechanic/engineer who does DEEP product reviews, repairs and some restoration. Very smart, funny as hell.
I was bored and clicked a 30 min video where 2 Asian kids dig a well by hand, and said: There’s no way I’m watching all this. It was sped up and I watched every second of it, and thought, we are devolving as a human race. Everyone should know this. They hand dug the well, lined it with grass and stone, used different sizes of bamboo for “tubing”, and chopped down trees and burned them to create different charcoal chambers for the filters to make a clean water well. I was transfixed.

The storm drain ones are fun. There's a pair of them down the street from me that clog up all the time and nearly flood the road, and it's fun watching it all go away when you clear the grate.
Why yes, I am about to turn 50, why do you ask?
Twin Tour Golf. It’s these twin brothers who play mini golf with family and friends, and they voice over announce it like it’s the most important thing in the world. It’s pretty fun mindless entertainment.
Random Videos
Any interviews of Warren Buffett or Charlie Munger
Tornado siren videos
My son watches Lego stuff and I have gotten to where I enjoy that, too.
Specifc Pages
History Oversimplified - as the name suggest, historical events broken down into 5 minutes
Fried Egg Golf - golf course history and golf course architecture
Eat More Vegans - grilling, etc.
I second magnet fishing.
ETA Whiteface Ford videos are great. And, any RNG videoes on Instagram and YouTube.

Recently turkey calling and tactics videos. I’m a noob trying to make it happen on public land. :/
RunwayDFW. Its a guy who livestreams planes at DFW taking off and landing and it's really cathartic. I watch at night after the kid goes to bed usually while playing my switch for some peaceful background noise when it's not baseball season. (During the season I'll turn a game on with radio broadcast.)
Veg Village Food. An Indian grandmother with her grandsons cooking giant quantities of to feed the village kids.
Downright Delicious. It's a guy from illinois with down's syndrome cooking, and his vibe is awesome.

I've somehow become hooked on ASMR videos of chiropractors, people who do nutrition response testing and other "alternative" medicine practitioners. Pure BS but somehow the videos are very relaxing. The comments on some of the videos are pure gold.
Stay Tuned, Freiburger, Hot Ones, Wheels Through Time, Finnegan's garage, Jay Leno's Garage, Rick Beato, Professor of Rock, Bryson DeChambeau, Ghost Town Living
