If, like me , you once spent an entire day watching medieval farming re-enactments on Youtube, then this thread is for you.

How is this thread not 1000 pages & certified legendary yet? I don't get it...

In terms of being strangely addictive, this channel is made by a prominent Goldeneye 007 speedrunner and he started a series where he goes through the 25 year history of every level's world records detailing the evolving strategies and the history of the top players. As someone who dipped a toe into speedrunning as a kid, and someone who played Goldeneye a ton, I find it quite cool the amount of detail and history that goes into telling a story with every video. Though I doubt anyone who doesn't like games would care; it certainly holds no purpose whatsoever.

If you like Speedrunning check out SummoningSalt's YouTube channel. He goes through the history of heaps of games' speedruns and researches really well

Reporter: Do you think there's life on other planets?
Responder: Uh, no, I'm German

wtf

Although, having worked with Germans I think some of them might be from another planet...

 

[Nuggetz]

He predicted it correctly

If you haven't seen a Tom Scott video, he's worth checking out if you like tech and science.

If you're into Steve Mould, then he's part of a coterie of science youtubers .

My favourite is Matt Parker

(This one happens to be about speedrunning).


If you're into math, you should check out numberphile.

Specifically this video (again featuring matt)

I totally fail at math. Utterly and completely.

That's the point!

Math is hard, and people who are good at it, fail all the time.

Which is kind of why they are trying to change that narrative.

The world of itty bitty creatures you can't see with the naked eye is compelling! Here's the introductory vid but there are lots more! Whoohoo

 

[Nuggetz]

Spectacular and somewhat hypnotic

Back when I worked for Disney Cruise Line we stayed out of port in Florida one night and got to watch a SpaceX launch and see the reuseable parts return back to the ground. Was spectacular

It seems so smooth that it's hard to imagine that's all happening while both objects are travelling at around 25,000 kph!

The important thing would be the relative speed difference between the two of them .

Here comes the Sun.

And this one is freaking amazing in terms of helping pleeps like me understand the scale of the universe.
