    A couple of atheism/philosophy channels that helped me focus on the positive aspects of my secular worldview, instead of merely being not theistic:

    Made major improvements to my home cooking routine:

    3. Ex&Fire + other chemchannels. A comedian pretending to be a chemist. Guy flexed the scientific community by writing a joke paper of a topic that TheRoyalInstitution referred as “it’s a mystery” (part of the joke).

    Asianometry - “Video essays on business, economics, and history. Sometimes about Asia, but not always.” – One of my fascination is the semiconductor industry and lithography. He tends to produce videos about said topics, and I love it.

    tosh show – A breath of fresh air in the podcast scene IMO. Podcast hosted by Daniel Tosh, who has on non-celebrities (and a few moderate celebs but they are a rarity.) More ordinary people with interesting jobs come on and he talks to them and asks questions about what they do. It’s fun and interesting.

    Fireship - “High-intensity ⚡ code tutorials and tech news to help you ship your app faster.” —I watch his tech news vids, Code Report, often. He does a great job of producing videos that are informative but also humorous with tech memes, related popular memes, and internet humor mixed into the tech news report.

    Undecided with Matt Ferrell - "I explore how sustainable and smart technologies impact our lives. And I try to dive deeper into those topics to provide context.

    Topics like electric vehicles, solar panels, and renewable energy that is meant to transition the world off of fossil fuels. Smart home technology that can make our homes not only more convenient, but safer and more accessible. Wearable technology that can track our health and save lives. Or how technology might be invading and breaking down the walls of our privacy."

    Good Work - “Fake business news.” Dan Toomey and the incredibly serious Good Work Investigative News Team plunge into the dark world of business and finance." --Their team does a great job of finding and applying witty humor to their videos. Think if NPR NewHour had a reporter but was witty, humorous, and covered ‘what the heck is going on news,’ and ‘what do they actually do’ topics and job titles.

    S3 - “The stories of people working to change the world.” – Think high-tech endeavors that are pushing the envelope closer and closer to a Star Trek future.

    Vacuum Wars! He tests, reviews, and compares vacuum cleaners. And he’s very thorough and scientific. His standard, but not only test is to measure sand by mass, put it in a carpet, run the vacuum in question over it, and weigh the remainder. That gives him a benchmark for all of the. He also does electric mops, carpet cleaners, air filters, robotic vacuums etc. If you are ever in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, check it out!

    Ordinary Sausage - A channel for people who wonder “could you turn X into a sausage, and if so how good would it taste?” Water? Air? Big Macs? Pickles? That and more, my friend. Pure culinary chaos, and weirdly wholesome to boot.

    Joel Haver - The origin of the “semi-automated rotoscoping” animation style, a rather clever use of some existing filters, but also a genuinely funny creator, and prolific to boot.

    Stuff Made Here - blows my mind with each new video. I can’t even imagine being able to dream up his creations let alone design and create them.

    Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.

    Foureyes Furniture - interesting custom furniture design and build sequences with very good editing and voiceover.

    Marling Baits - Custom fishing lures that vary from lifelike (using real fish skin) to absurd (a lightsaber) to ultra absurd (a block of wood).

    Project Farm - head to head comparisons of common tools or other household projects. Very no nonsense and a ton of information packed in quick.

    Inheritance Machining - a man documenting rediscovering his passion for machining after inheriting his grandfather’s machine shop. Excellent narrative scriptwriting, recurring video elements, buttery smooth voiceover, and oddly satisfying machining footage.

      Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.

      Not just that but really great comedic writing and delivery. I love the just right amount of sarcasm and pedantry. Not too much to be annoying, just enough to be hilarious.

      If you enjoy a good voiceover, check out Beau Miles and Bobby Fingers. Beau is all about his adventure philosophy and Bobby doesn’t need an introduction. There’s just no way to discribe his videos, highly recommended.

      I love that most of the people from the original channel (I think it was Facts.) came back to the Try channel.

        I love these people, I watch every video even if I hate the subject of it because sometimes it goes off the rails with humor.
