what are you watching on youtube?

Recommended Posts

my algorithm tonight has sent me down a rabbit hole of videos of youtubers covering those “hook up artist” guys, and this shit is downright hard to watch…except that i can’t stop.

 

 

i’ll also say that in 2024 youtube has become for me what netflix was years ago- by far my number one used streaming service. there’s just endless content on endless subjects. it’s become my go-to for when i want to find something to watch that i’ve never seen before.

gus johnson is someone i’ve found who cracks me up. maybe it’s because he’s like my midwestern cousin, just out here recording goofy shit with his mom, but i like his inane, super low production videos.

This video sent me on a rabbit hole of clips of the British show 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, hosted by Jimmy Carr. It’s a gameshow based on jumble style word puzzles and rapid math problems, but this version is all comedians. It’s hilarious (and Rachel is awesome):

YT’s algo is excellent.  Pushes me stuff I actually like.  And if there are political dumkopf’s on there, it does not force them on me.

He keeps his politics in check enough for me:

He has several channels:

From there the algo takes over and gives me similar good stuff.  And lately it’s been pushing vids of surly donkeys (clean, wholesome stuff.)

I love his channel and have posted it before, and holy shit there’s a reasons some of those are forgotten.  @Armybrat has probably seen some of that stuff.

I was today years old when I learned Colombia had M1 Garands rechambered in .308.  12 of them.  Can’t believe I went this long not knowing that.

That's why @Armybrat needs to watch the show, I feel like he would know that for some reason.

I tried watching it, but all of my years of camping with my kids makes me think of how much of a nightmare that would be to dry that tent out.

No, I didn’t know about those Garands being converted.

As an army brat, the only weapons I got to handle were a 1911, an M1A Carbine, and an M3 Grease Gun. 
While with my Dad & brothers at a small post range in Puerto Rico 70 years ago, I got to shoot the first two after his sergeant gave us some basic instruction. Hated the .45 because of the recoil in my 10 year old hands, but the carbine was fun. We were only allowed to handle the M3..

Gus is the best. He also does Twitch streams where he plays games and opens pokemon cards.

“the scriptures tell us”

Find myself watching a lot of videos on street food vendors from other countries, skills they show are impressive, imo. 

Never heard them referred to as skills before

Chudd’s BBQ is an excellent BBQ channel and he’s in Austin. This dude makes everything from scratch. Also fabricates pits and other gear.

Also stumbled across Harry Mack. He’s a freestyle rapper. Even if rap is not your cup of tea he’s insanely talented. Give this video a watch to see what he does.

Friend has one.  Not that uncommon.  Come with a conversion kit to swap back and forth between .308 and 30-06.  Hell, I've seen one chambered in .458 Win Magnum.

i love watching quick little history series like this:

 

If you want to go hard in the paint on the Mongols, Dan carlin's Hardcore History series "The Wrath of the Khans" is the holy bible of Mongol podcast series.

What about repeating flintlocks?

 

Back in the day, gunsmiths were artisans.  Each product was unique.  Cool if you are a collector.  Not cool if you are on the battlefield and need spare parts.  This was the genius of Colt

also i had not heard of that geography channel, thank you for that. 

My son introduced me to it. A fun game to play is to notice the gags they sneak in. Like in today's video, when they demonstrate how to play Geoguessr, quietly showing very obviously wrong answers. Or whenever there's something written in a notebook, on screen for a split second, and you see a ton of hilarious messages in there.
