What are lemmy’s favorite video channels for more depth then you get from average news and television sources?
Prerun is one that comes to mind as he digs, thinks, and explains, and is willing to say he’s wrong. Business Insider is another one that has a great number of in depth topics, even if not quite as much as one might want sometimes. DW is another. RealLifeLore also seems to some great explaining. LegalEagle similar.
All of these are debatable to a greater or lesser degree, but I’m interested in alternative sources. What else is out there? What platform? Why?
Some other fun channels:
I’ve always wanted to make a meal entirely from scratch in memory of our ancestors. That means either growing or catching it with tools that I made myself. I’d have to prepare and cook it from scratch too Everything as if I was living 50k years ago. Just haven’t found a tribe to do it with yet.
There’s that guy that did that. He said it wasn’t a very good sandwich.
*as this is a youtuber thread, he has a channel. It’s okay. https://youtube.com/@htme?si=qfrFo68rA3Wi4cTL
Lots of good ones in there. Thanks!
B1M is great, Mega Projects and others of Simon’s channels are good (some better then others). Wendover is amazing, I just wish he out more out, but the production quality is probably to high to increase the rate.
I’ll have to check the rest out. :)
I wouldn’t call B1M in depth…
I think that’s kinda fair. They go further than a lot of info you see on the news though, so I think it will scratch OP’s itch.
Hah checked out the B1M mega construction videos and immediately stumbled onto the Fehmarn tunnel project which brings up a memory from when I took the train from Germany to Denmark some 10 years ago. In the middle of the journey, the train suddenly went into a hangar and maybe fifteen minutes later we were asked to A) leave all of our stuff in the train and B) descend.
Which we begrudgingly did.
We all followed the person giving the orders up through some staircases and … the weirdest thing I have ever experienced I think, through a door out on the deck of a large boat in the middle of the sea 🌀🌌🐵
Didn’t expect that 😁
Cool. That’s pretty unique.
I had the pleasure of experiencing the train transfer from Mongolia to China. All train wagons are moves into a hangar in batches and lifted off their undercarriage. The undercarriages are removed, then the rail width is changed, new undercarriages are rolled in and the cabins lowered onto them… It was one hell of a sight.
