the_q, in Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?

The holidays always sucked, you just didn’t notice. It’s just this mad dash to spend as much as possible on crap. That’s all it ever was.

PBS SpaceTime is good. Earlier stuff is more approachable and as you go further it gets deeper and deeper into the heavier stuff.

OhmsLawn,

I love that channel, but yeah. I’d like to see them revisit some of the earlier topics. The most recent videos are sometimes a bit overwhelming.

No way, Space Time isn’t good. It’s fantastic! Probably my favorite non-comedy channel. I genuinely understand concepts like the Uncertainty principle much better because of the show than I did from university QM.

Bobby Fingers. Drunk Mel Gibson has quickly become a classic amongst my friends.

Probably one of the most creative and talented makers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Every single thing he’s done has been fucking hilarious to boot.

He did only like 5 videos in total or something though. The Jeff Bezos boat is bloody hilarious as well. This guy is absolutely unhinged.

It’s 5 videos but if you know anything about fabrication and making or just have an appreciation for that kind of craft then you can recognize just how much fucking work, time, and money he puts into each video. He’s also a part of an intensely creative duo known as the Rubberbandits.

SHamblingSHapes, in Do you have a story about when you saw snow for the first time?

Not me, had some friends from India and got to see them see their first snow in real life. It was actually more interesting to go snow coat, hat, gloves shopping. Hearing them talk about what thought would be the most important features of winter gear was interesting. For example, I would pay a lot of attention to the quality and function of the zipper, as that has often been the first failure point for me. The one boy just did not want poofiness and got the thinnest, flattest coat he could find. The other wanted a coat with some American baseball team on it, any team, didn’t matter which so long as it was baseball.

NAXLAB, (edited ) in What is your favourite Hex colour code?

Only real ones will get it.

AnarchoSnowPlow, in Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?

Covid took so much from so many people.

I’m so incredibly lucky, covid showed me that I don’t have to work in a cube farm, I can do my job from anywhere. It crammed my whole family into each other’s business, now I know my kids better than I did before. I grew meals in a crappy suburban garden.

I lost a lot too, connections to extended family and friends. A lot of relationships died because I was afraid. People like me were dying and I didn’t trust that extended family to give enough of a shit about me to wear a shitty little mask from Amazon in public. (Which turned out to be right, they lied and ended up with covid) I lost some people who were very important to me, not even to COVID, just regular old cancer.

For me, the last few years have thrown what’s important into sharp relief.

I can’t control anything that’s going on outside my house, or even most things inside my house. But I can have Christmas trees up year round if I want to.

The trees and lights make the people I love happy too, which makes me happy.

My big dumb dogs make me happy.

That crunchy snow noise makes me happy.

The tip of my nose freezing in the wind while the rest of me is warm makes me happy.

There’s so much awful out in the world and I can’t really do anything about it. So I cling to all the things I’ve found that make me happy and I try to suck all the juice out of each and every one.

When you find the things that give you some warmth, grab them and hold on. Put your energy into the things that give you energy.

Being from Minnesota, USA, this question just sounds so odd to me.

Clearly, there are regions where it doesn’t snow and that lots & lots of people live in those regions. But reading the question is so jarring!

Dunno how much or often snow is there but I live in Finland so it's (also) a very common thing here!

We’re In Hell Funny videos about reality shows that devolve into leftist madness, they’re amazing

Blue Jay If Sam o Nella was a bird

Mr. Beat Ex history teacher and amazingly awkward dude, quite good at explaining US political stuff.

Second Wind Yahtzee Croshaw (ZP) and Cold Take, as well as a bunch of other ex escapist people and it rules.

The Vile Eye The series “analysing evil” is a pretty good dive into fictions baddies

The Stupendium Performs and writes songs based on pop culture, and is great at what he does

munecat cute British girl pours Beer really badly funny music lady debunks/discusses political shit

knowing better long form history content from an ex history teacher. Most recently had been doing the insane religious movements behind Kellogg’s and whatnot

b2 studios videos about AI being trained in Unreal Engine, like teaching an ai to bowl or play ping pong. Also funny AF

your movie sucks movie reviews. Dude knows his shit and is pretty funny

Oh god why is my subs list so long and there are still so many to list and I’m too tired and high after work rn maybe I’ll edit this later

I tried to go with people on my sub list that hadn’t been mentioned yet as well as the smaller ones to help boost em

Might just add a screenshot list to the post but it’d be long (and also have people on there I know I’ll get judged for cuz I’ve forgotten they’re even there by now lol)

Sean Munger is another history teacher worth recommending, and he happens to mention Mr. Beat as well.

GoodTimesWithScar … if you enjoy Minecraft content the dude is a beast, so talented ! and also funny and entertaining

DuckOverload, in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

Harry Mack. Greatest off-top freestyler ever (except maybe Juice WRLD, but that’s apples and oranges). Folks are sad about the end of Omegle Bars, but I’ve always thought Wordplay Wednesdays is his best format.

Dope,

Second this, I love a good Harry Mack vid, never disappoints.
