minus-squareShunkW@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 years agoTom Scott does great stuff, and I found him through Computerphile years ago. If you like board games, check out No Rolls Barred. Veritasium and Smarter Every Day are good educational channels about science. Nile Red too. I can give more if any of these are hitting for you.
minus-squareRook@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoDefinite +1 for No Rolls Barred. I recently discovered them through their Communist Monopoly House Rules episode. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed that much at a video.
minus-squareojmcelderry@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 years agoDoes anybody else find Tom Scott annoying? I love channels that deep-dive into the details of things, etc. But I’ve always found Tom to be so smug and patronising. Is it just me?
minus-square∟⊔⊤∦∣≶@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI don’t at all. He’s like a little kid when he gets to watch the maglev train in Japan
minus-squareEvkob (they/them)@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoHe’s just very British, I think. IIRC, he also plays a bit of a character inspired by BBC reporters of his youth on camera. If you listen to him in a context other than his main channel (I love his Lateral podcast) he doesn’t come off as smug at all really.
