FuddBusters does a pretty good job covering gun laws and debunking fudd lore, be forewarned, they're a little too lolbertarian when it comes to politics outside of gun rights, but that doesn't come up all that often.

https://youtube.com/@fuddbusters?si=dVIQARn5bjkptNfl

I recommend their debunking AR15 lore video https://youtu.be/BMNDydv8GCY?si=mPP5lO877X5vB0u4

I forgot about Fuddbusters.

Him & Ivan were ahead of the curve mocking Nick Rekieta to his face on stream when he started his bisexual, wifeswapping cokehead arc long before it was openly public after his arrest.

For a time he was also working online with Potentially Criminal (Sean Martin), another Lawtube attorney, who has sort of taken the mantle as the based lawyer well-versed in Sektur lore, even if he is fat.

Beating fudds over the head with all their sacred cows and stupid shit is a worthy endeavor.

They did a number on the Thompson as well.

They do, they just don't do it that often. Their podcast is good for general gun news if you're into guns as a hobby and their informative videos are long as shit so basically podcasts

Robert Sepher does a number of videos on really weird, esoteric, and out there topics, but brings enough receipts that I've gone researching to debunk what he said in some videos only to find out it was true.

Lost Battlefields w Tino Struckmann does alot of WW1 and WW2 videos on a number of topics, and both brings the receipts and actually goes out on location to investigate and film what he's researching. He recently did a video on the german nuclear program in WW2 that made me raise enough eyebrows that the idea of the Germans having a working tactical nuclear weapon has gone IMO from 'highly skeptical' to 'possible'.

If I want to learn more about astronomy and physics, I tend to watch Sabine Hossenfelde - she's one of the few people I've seen expouse alternatives to Dark Matter Theory, which makes her an utter gem in my book.

Anton Petrov also does a lot of no-nonsense stuff when it comes to latest astronomical findings. He has that perfect mix of interesting, factual, and skeptical that's nice to see.

Isaac Arthur goes into alot of speculative science development and potential futures. While I think some of his recent stuff is hit or miss, I like alot of his older stuff about deep-time cosmology and Iron Stars. He's also rather hopeful and optimistic about alot of things without being delusional, which makes for a nice contrast from doomer stuff.

Seconding the Sepehr recommendation

I personally don’t enjoy Hossenfelder’s style, I’ve found there’s a relatively new channel producing tons and tons of interesting interviews with physicists, Curt Jaimungal:

Ordinary Sausage. Food abominations. Sausages made out of things his chat sends him, steaks boiled in candy, deep frying anything he can find, etc. And he does all this while having IBS. Good for laughs every now and then, crude humor and poor cooking methods abound.

I suspect he had to move out of his previous house after doing an episode on Surstromming, the horrible fermented fish "delicacy".

An example episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEYTRJ-gSyM

https://m.youtube.com/@ScreenTested. An Aussie with a pretty good workshop builds various fictional weapons like Guts' dragonslayer or the swords on chains from God of War, then hits stuff with them and gives his opinion.

https://m.youtube.com/@BallisticHighSpeed. Dudes with ultra high speed cameras take ultra slow motion videos of assorted things getting shot or blown up in various ways.

https://m.youtube.com/@VoicesofthePast Narration of assorted very old written accounts. Things like a Roman writing what they know of China and vice versa, soldiers' accounts of battles like Napoleon invading Russia, accounts from explorers, letters from collapses of civilizations, etc. And all of it is presented as-is, with no injection of modern politics.

Strangely, very little is manufactured in the US, but we produce tons of chemical products.

It's weird, but clearly we have a lot of chemical manufacturing, though not a lot of mechanical manufacturing.

They definitely do some gaming/nerd/Fandom Menace stuff too. And interesting might be a stretch.

But Box Mac, an unironic review series comparing varieties of retail mac & cheese is a surprisingly good watch.

Practical Engineering is really fun. Videos on infrastructure and infrastructure disasters.

I’ve more or less stopped watching cooking youtube, but I still enjoy an occasional Adam Ragusea or Ethan Chlebowski video. There are a huge backlist of good recipe videos too.

If you’re into classical music—or even if you’re not—The Classical Nerd has some fun videos too.

Uwo's Lab: Amateur mad scientist builds insane contraptions and occasionally tests them on himself. Videos are just cut streams which I normally dislike but it's not too bad in this case.

Mr. Hewes: British guy living on some old estate restores (mostly) old military tech. Quite comfy. "Is that supposed to be on fire?"

Spacedock: Videos about sci-fi weapons and principles of warfare (e.g. how would missiles work in space, what are particle weapons, etc.) and spaceships.

Burning Wrenches: Russian man builds a replica of a Quadra V-Tech from Cyberpunk 2077 in his garage, based on a Mazda RX-8. Only uploads sporadically and it's very monothematic (although his older videos are about other vehicles, there's more than the Quadra there), but holy shit I can't stop watching.

Garage 54: More Russian car mechanics, this time with an English dub that makes it sound like a 90s show instead of an AI voice which Burning Wrenches uses. They build all sorts of crazy shit. Recently they started working on stuffing a helicopter turbine into a Lexus GS.

Nobey One: Super weird cartoon shorts. Love it.

Attoparsec: Guy builds incredibly cool unusual gadgets, most recently a keyboard with 1000 keys, but he also has a bunch of tiny handheld little inventions. Explains how everything works in great detail.

Fandabi Dozi: Survival techniques from medieval Scotland. (He also runs some kinda self-help thing that sounds like a cult but he doesn't seem to plug it in his videos too hard)

Historia Civilis is a pretty good overview of Roman and Greek history, even though he likes Cicero more than the chad Caesar.

If you are into Photography, Thomas Heaton has a cozy channel where he takes you along on his photo trips.

Uberboyo is a loquacious Irish lad who talks mostly about Jung and Nietzsche and how modern western men have lost their warrior spirit. He makes an interesting case that Christianity was the original woke religion.

sLASH uploads music that is made using protracker, a program for the Commodore Amiga. If you like 16 bit music, this is for you.

Andy Philip does videos of woodworking on lathes.

Agadmator is an eastern European man who analyzes chess matches and has a supernatural ability to pronounce any name correctly.

TheCasinoKing, if you want to get in early on someone on the path of becoming the subject of long form essays about a guy who gambles away his saving trying build a channel to fuel is gambling addiction. I hope it works out for him but I can just picture him posting insane rants and divorced in 2-3 years.

Total mark that posts his loses, if you're into that.

Guitar Cody https://www.youtube.com/@guitarcody9

Cody's a talented classical guitarist that shows his own behind the scenes practice, tips and performances, but also analyzes performances of the world's best.

You might find Cody playing a 500 year old Renaissance piece, showing himself Gigging as a Classical Artist, reacting to recent performances like Lucas Brar twinkling over time and older one's like 1976's flamenco master, Paco de Lucia.

He's knowledgeable, entertaining and constantly aspires to be a better version of himself. If you enjoy guitar, playing or listening, he's a great little channel to visit once in a while.

Type 56: the story of China's army

https://youtube.com/@type56_ordnance_dept?si=G1SvH27oHR28h7Hn

Started out just as a channel to explain why the ChiComs kept the Type 56 SKS in service as its primary rifle into the 1980s, despite having AKs. Has grown into a bigger project explaing China, the Chinese and the PLAs history and development.

Guy is very enthusiastic and a decent lecturer, even though his effects budget for explaining PLA infiltrator tactics amounted to one towel, a box of oreos and some jelly beans he made his point well. https://youtu.be/yr39m8iEZow?si=mMAPJdzbMa__H-vu

Love the channel; very relaxing; great way to unwind during stressful work days.

  • Wolfpak Adventures: https://www.youtube.com/@wolfpack_adventures/videos

Subscribed for his awesome downhill mountain videos, but stayed for his bike park tours.

  • Luke Spud: https://www.youtube.com/@spud4k

Absolutely adore his videos. Extremely intense, reminds me of the old ESPN Xtreme games. Seeing highly skilled longboarders tackle various complex winding pathways around the world is pretty crazy. The ones in South America where there's still heavy traffic on those thin two-lane roads while animals are crossing and the streets aren't entirely clean are nail-biting. Love it.

I also watch BrickImmortar. Maritime Horrors and Part-Time Explorer are other good ones that follow the same trend, with Maritime actually working on a ship on the Great Lakes, so there is a lot of "Speaking from experience" presentation when he is going over shipping accidents.

As for other channels that fit your criteria:

Drachinifel: Keeping with the naval theme, he covers naval history from the Age of Sail up through the end of World War 2 (with some limited outside those time periods). His main thing is he is an engineer by trade, so he goes into the engineering behind warships and why they were designed the way they were. To that end, he is well known for having a massive hate boner for the Bismarck-class as being overly engineered and inefficient (him showing it to be less useful than even ships older than it), but also giving ideas on how it could have been improved in a separate video. He also has an in depth, 3 part documentary on the Battle of Jutland, and a running theme of having his April Fools episode being the covering of a ship in his usual style but one that doesnt exist or wasnt used in that role (his most recent being taking the SS Great Eastern and roleplaying as if the Royal Navy actually went through with buying it like had been considered in the 1850's).

CallMeEzekiel: A history channel covering all of the usual world history stuff, but using the Polandball characters to represent everyone. He also typically goes into more detail about things for why certain events happened or why certain groups believed what they did. Also has several episodes covering China from the Opium Wars up to the Boxer Rebellion, which is a time period that gets overlooked sometimes in world history.

Captain Slicerax: A currently small but fast growing channel. He does play video games with a Vtuber model (mostly War Thunder), but his day job is as an aerospace engineer. So he also uses the channel to talk about the history and designs of various military aircraft. He recently completed a 4 part series on the history of the F-4 Phantom, but he has covered both Soviet aircraft (usually dunking on their bad designs, or lamenting them as good designs but too late to matter like with the MiG-29) and has started covering some of the newer American aircraft (which is usually giving them high praise). He does admittedly have a hardcore pro-US, anti-Communist bias, but I doubt many here will care about that too much.

Stiff Lip Supplements: Lets be entirely blunt and up-front here. This channel is literally the advertisement arm of the company of the same name founded by some veterans that makes caffeine pouches you can put in your lip like tobacco dip to both kick a tobacco addition and/or get caffeine without shaker cup mixes. But even if you dont get their product, the videos they use to advertise are funny in their own right and make fun of stereotypes about the military and the different MOS's. So it is fun in its own right to me.

You might call him political, but you can enjoy all of his stuff from a “film criticism”/ “video essay” perspective regardless of how much your views overlap with his (though id wager they overlap with the majority view on this site quite well)

Legal Vices, another Nick Rekieta Lawtube orbiter, had a Maritime Monday series where he reviewed shipwrecks and collisions from a historical and legal perspective.

Jeff was quirky and somewhat of an acquired taste. He tragically died of a heart attack in South Korea sometime in the last year.

He had an interesting backstory. He was an ex-pat divorced former Mormon maritime law attorney who had been living and working in South Korea for decades with his bulldog. He loved cigars and whiskey.

A lot of his other content was trialstreaming and general law content.

But once a week he covered a shipping collision from the perspective of his legal expertise in the industry.

For any car lovers: Collector Car Feed

If you were big into the tuner scene in the early 00s but have since matured to realise your daily driver actually needs to be driveable, they will suit. Has a really fun 'lads hanging out taking the piss out of the trash on facebook marketplace' vibe. WAY more down to earth than what 'automotive youtube' has become.

It probably crosses the political disqualifer, but another interesting podcast is Blood Satellite.

It's two Canadian very dissident RW thinkers who talk about a lot of big ideas and review a lot of books through that lens. They are very loosely associated with some of the Old Glory Club types south of the border.

Their YT channel is mostly old clips and tends to be many months behind their contemporary content on their site.

One of the hosts Dimes is a voracious reader and loves to get into the weeds about books he read, mostly non-fiction stuff from influential thinkers.
