Witchfire, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

“It’s only temporary”

Everything is temporary in the long term

kalkulat, in What do we get in return for paying taxes?

Sewers. Ever visited an outhouse in a place where it’s 0 degrees out? yOw!

Or carried two pails of water 2 blocks, twice, to start heating it while you did it 3 more times for the rest of your bath? Lots of people still do that.

burliman,

If all we paid for were sewers, our taxes would be almost nothing per person. Plus I pay for sewers outside of taxes anyway. It’s built into the water bill.

slazer2au,

At 0 degrees no. Have at 35 degrees in AU.

adibou, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

Go through the pain, as it is the way

Once you went through it and the pain is no more, you’ll have a whole new range of possible that were masked by the pain beforehand.

Don’t die tho

corsicanguppy,

“Fear is the mind-killer” comes to mind here.

adibou,

Yes but it’s more about letting go through it than fighting it

SirToxicAvenger, in What do we get in return for paying taxes?

allegedly? services.

realistically? fuckall

LadyLikesSpiders, in What do we get in return for paying taxes?

A whole-ass functioning society

Pons_Aelius,

A slightly misplaced hyphen and this is a very different sentence.

LadyLikesSpiders,

Well if the taxes are misused, stolen, otherwise not finding their way to where they should be, the sentence remains true

tslnox, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

No idea about YouTubers, but I sometimes put on Nemo’s Dreamscapes to sleep. It’s just a music ambience but I like it.

LillyPip,

Thanks!

Unfortunately music doesn’t work for me. I need something to engage part of my brain or my mind races.

tslnox,

How about something like Veritasium, Kyle Hill or VSauce?

I listen to my favorite British game show (QI and “8 out of 10 cat’s does countdown”) or the 10 hour loop of Joe Pera talks you to sleep youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg?si=aMDe0U0oyoNmAbVR

bdazman, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

Youre looking for Bismuth, the technical speedrun communicator. Hes perfect in everyway.

Also theres Tomatoanus, also speedrun comminicator, excellent work.

Isaac Arthur is a futurist I like for this, hell give you wonderful dreams.

3blueonebrowns visual communicatio style is excellent but ive fallen asleep to his videos tons of times.

Chyrosan22 has the voice of God and he reviews mechanical keyboards, absolutely love it

Donoteat01, justin rosczknyaiacs channel, has perfect shit in his Power Planning and Politics series, hypnotic, funny, and entrancing

Drachinifel is a naval historiographer whos excellent, highly reccomend his video on the second pacific sauadron

Emplemon also has some excellent content

Food Wishes is chef johns youtube channel and he has a very unique way if talking that i love

Hypohystericalhistory has excellent longform documentaries about warstuff

Hope thats enough thats off the top of my head and is through H of my subscriptions lol

LillyPip,

Oh wow, thanks!

This list will keep me for a while.

flooppoolf, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

I love Technology Connections. Something about his voice, the old tech he covers, and the well informed delivery is really good. Sometimes he luls me.

PBS Space Time is also really fucking good because I don’t really understand much of it as someone with a background in healthcare and not astrophysics/physics, and as soon as my ADHD drifts off his voice hits me on the side of my head and puts me in the fetal position.

LillyPip,

Technology Connections sounds straight up my alley, thanks!

PBS Spacetime is already a standby. I’ve seen all of them at least twice. I’m always up for more watches.

If Technology Connections is up your alley check out LGR if you haven’t. He has a very smooth voice, talks mostly about 90’s and early 2000’s computer nostalgia, with smooth jazz in the background. We fall asleep watching him regularly as it’s just a calm, chill time.

CADmonkey,

Technology Connections is awesome. He’s the one who got me to understand how old CRT televisions could put a picture on a radio signal that could be picked up by both color and B&W TV’s.

EndOfLine, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

“The Why Files” and “Kutzergart”.

If I’m really not ready to sleepy, I find the content interesting. If I am ready to sleep but my brain won’t shut down then I ignore the words and I find the voices very soothing and relaxing.

LillyPip,

That’s exactly the quality I’m looking for, thanks!

Northernlion’s Binding of Isaac series is notorious for putting people to sleep regularly. Definitely a must-listen in my books

ShunkW,

I miss old NL before he was always interacting with twitch chat. I get why he made the move, and I like a lot of his newer content, but I feel like he was funnier when he was just bullshitting to himself

v4ld1z,
@v4ld1z@lemmy.zip avatar

I hear that. I’ve gotten used to it over the years and do see its value, but I do miss his oldschool Isaac-esque narration.

flooppoolf,

Sinvicta automatically knocks me out hahahahaha. “Heeeeeywelcomebackevrrybody” on the floor

whereBeWaldo,

Exactly my sentiments! I don’t really enjoy the twitch culture. Recent streams are all about commenters making snarky comments and NL trying to outsmart them I feel like. I still enjoy his unprompted insane takes a lot though.

jkdm,

Same, it’s a lot of old man yelling at kids on the internet.

John Michael Godier, great sleep ready content about science and science fiction. One of my faves.

crusa187,

John Michael Godier sleep crew checking in!

Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep

The whole series isn't on YouTube, unfortunately, but it is SO worth your time and fits the bill like nothing else.

MorningstarCorndog, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

Tomorrow will be better; even if it’s just not today.
