This was really good, it scratched my 'criticize the groversub' itch that day

I know the guy was doing his best to be tactful when delivering the news that "if you see this, your family is deader than gently caress" but when he put the stock mournful piano music on at the end with a click of his mouse, I did briefly lose my poo poo laughing

yeah its a new kind of hybrid psilocybe, and the melted umbrella lookin cap is unusual enough that it is fully diagnostic according to the video so mushroom technology just made it a lot easier for a non-mycologist to safely rewire their brain :2bongs:

i'm glad i mostly had the concept of entropy correct i was thinking he was going to completely turn my understanding upside down

still a good watch because the concept of life thriving in the transition from high to low entropy is really cool

I watched it and it was pretty good.


dudes videos have a bit of cheese but they’re good value

the one on potash was eye opening, mainly the bit about how they used to burn huge amounts of forests not for heat but just to burn them to get their ash to get potash. humans are so good at wholesale destruction

I like youtube videos where people just talk in an informative and entertaining way without ridiculous editing

I'm sure if she gets too many subscribers she'll have to make it her job and her videos will go to poo poo since that seems like how things work in 2023 though

so i don't think he falls too much under the educational youtube, but i find his videos very interesting.

maximus ironthumper.

https://i.imgur.com/FVujn2N.mp4

he is a guy who bought a bunch of land in england a long time ago and he tries to live off grid as much as possible.
his channel is a mix of gardening, fixing old range rover(s)? fixing up his property and blacksmithing. in the video i posted that is his homemade power hammer.
it's real great.
i would think that with yosposters dreaming of leaving to go live in the woods they also might find his videos interesting.

here is his channel

here is a video of him turning an old rasp into a draw knife for his father.

theres the occasional weirdo who restores old jeeps but like literally every englishman over 50 is either planning a landrover restoration, in the middle of a landrover restoration, or is trying to financially recover from a landrover restoration

the uk is a very moist country and the build quality of british cars wasn't great to begin with, so hope you like doing rust repairs for months and months before you can even begin to think about mechanical, electrical, interior, etc.

im a fucking monster

they're one of the few readily available things that still use individual panels on a ladder-type chassis, so you start out thinking you're going to replace one rusty wheel arch and then it's "well it's just a few extra bolts to remove that other little bit too and then I can clean behind this..." and then the next thing you know the entire vehicle is dismantled into a pile of parts and you're getting quotes to have the bare chassis acid-dipped and powder coated.

you can also go down a real rabbit hole parts-wise because everything is so interchangeable even across 60 years of production, multiple body styles, a dozen engines, and three different wheelbases. you can even throw in range rover parts too if you're feeling fancy.

people never buy one land rover. they buy one, then another for parts, then another, then a range rover, then they can't bare to scrap three cars to fix one and end up restoring them all...

This channel is a good example I think:

https://www.youtube.com/@CROKERvsRover

The guy is restoring a 1978 series 3 Land Rover, and this takes a while as you can imagine. So he got a 1993 V8 Discovery for a daily driver to run errands with and whatnot.

It only needed "light" rust repair.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EerUop0flqQ

The last 10 months or so his channel had nothing but rust repair videos for his "quick, definitely not a project" discovery.

Pretty good channel btw.
