I’m sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn’t think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I’ve just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don’t know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

    I had a lot of conversations with my dad about how glorifying people is setting yourself up for failure when there were loads of protests were going on about bringing down statues of famously racist people who did like a handful of notable things i.e. most of the U.S. founding fathers.

    I wouldn’t suggest keeping a list of names that you admire. Maybe keep a list of things about those names that you admire

        Okay, if I… if I chop you up in a meat grinder, and the only thing that comes out, that’s left of you, is your eyeball, you’r- you’re PROBABLY DEAD! You’re probably going to - not you, I’m just sayin’, like, if you- if somebody were to, like, push you into a meat grinder, and, like, your- one of your finger bones is still intact, they’re not gonna pick it up and go, “Well see, yeah it wasn’t deadly, it wasn’t an instant kill move! You still got, like, this part of your finger left!” NO I’M NOT GONNA PUT YOU INTO A MEAT GRINDER. I’M NOT GONNA PUT YOU INTO A MEAT GRINDER. NO. I’m making a reference to the fact that, like, if I, like, if I were to get fucking KILLED… I don’t know, YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYIN’. If- if- okay, if you were to- okay we’re gonna take humans out of this, if alien Globgobglobgo 1 fuckin’ shoots a disintegrating ray at alien Globglo 2, if there’s only fucking TEETH LEFT, it’s- it’s fucking you’re dead, you’re dead.

        “If I were to put you in a meat grinder,” goddamnit, it’s so fucked up! You understand what I’m sayin’ though, I’m not actually saying that I’m going to put somebody in a meat grinder, goddamnit. Whatever.

      Just YouTubers? I don’t really know them as people but I think the content they create is admirable at least:

      Electroboom

      Mark Rober <- Never mind, apparently he’s down with Autism Speaks (a shitty group that wants to “cure” neurodivergence) That’s a shame.

      Kurzgesagt

      SmarterEveryDay

      Oversimplified

      Vsauce

      Veritasium

      Captain Disillusion

      ZeFrank

      ForgottenWeapons

      I guess I’m kind of a sucker for educational stuff.

        Personally, Veritasium is out of that list for me due to some of his more recent videos. He still has some good content but I really disliked that “rods from God” video where it feels like he’s basically doing the same thing as the “How Ridiculous” guys and trying to disguise it as science communication. And the (admittedly few) ones where he’s basically disguising advertising as his regular content.

        I nominate BobbyBroccoli to take his spot.
