PhoenixSC. They used to create very interesting niche technical Minecraft videos. Then they once made a “cursed Minecraft” video which became very popular and created a lot of memes. I still liked it then but they kept going that direction and now their channel is just stupid memes.
On my first trip to the UK, we booked into a hotel recommended to us by local friends. The room had “Shower en Suite”, which we assumed was a bathroom en suite with a shower (in contrast to one with a bathtub).
When we entered the (fairly large) hotel room, there was a blue plastic booth like one of those festival toilets in the middle of the room. It was the shower, and you had to insert coins to actually get hot water. No actual bathroom at all, just the plastic shower in the middle of the room. The toilet was a shared, ultra-small room halfway down the stairs. And lacking toilet paper. “The owner did not buy any” was the reason given by the staff.
The breakfast was interesting, too: You only got either this or that of common English breakfast stuff - either Toast, jam, and marmelade or fried egg, sausage, and beans. Either orange juice or half a grapefruit, etc. No buffet like about any other place offered.
That was quite an awkward situation for our friends who had recommended that hotel - based on their own experience 40-50 years ago. I assume it was one of the better places then.
Spacerip has some entertaining space related documentaries, although probably more popular science than in depth teachings a la Richard Feynman or Michio Kaku.
bunch of sad people in here it seems like, to me it’s as simple as needing to actually make things feel christmas-y, you can’t just sit around doing the same exact stuff you always do and expect an atmosphere to magically materialize from nothing.
decorate things to high hell, play christmas music, eat christmas-y food, go to christmas markets, spend time just chilling with people.
i don’t agree that christmas is consumerist, you can just… not make it consumerist? like it’s not rocket science.
FutureCanoe: A cooking channel that doesnt take itself serious and is super funny.
Kara and Nate: The only Travel bloggers i can watch, from biking across America to visiting 9 Christmas Markets in Europe in 9 different countries in 9 days. Their content is always unique and engaging
Alex Novell: A great documentarian channel that has tricked Alan Dershowitz and Alex Jones into interviews and confronted them for the harm they have done to society
FD Signifier: One of the best video essayists on the Platform, making great socially concious content.
I grew up watching pewdiepie playthroughs. Then when I was in my late teens early 20s he went too edgy and I lost interest.
He has changed dramatically since. He’s content is very wholesome again, he’s now a father (wth) and he’s living in Japan. I looove their Japan vlogs. So much so that it gave me the confidence to visit Japan this year… Twice.
Nit sure what it was called, but I’m pretty sure that not only it’s the last Qwerty keyboard phone i used, it’s also one of the last phone Nokia sold in my country.
I don’t recall the earliest memories or stories, but I remember at my elementary school, large snow banks would pile up on the playground area and made for amazing things to play on in the winter. They weren’t uniform either, making them fun for kids to climb all over since some of it would freeze solid while other parts wouldn’t. They were kinda like a seasonal jungle gym of their own.
That, and at the middle school near where I lived, we’d always go there for sledding because there was a hill in the very back corner of the place that was perfect for it. One night while sledding my dad decided to go down the hill on our old toboggan with our husky-malmute rescue and she absolutely did not like it one bit.
Those are the earliest memories/stories I can recall.
