Somewhat off-topic but your comment sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit-hole which led to this page of extinct dog breeds. Some fascinating ones in there. Seems like most of these are hunting dogs that either were no longer needed or got bred into something else.
My favorite though, is the turnspit dog which was bred specifically to run on a wheel to turn meat that was cooking, basically like a functional hamster. Wild.
Fascinating, and hilarious! Looking over the list, the Belgian Mastiff immediately caught my eye. A dog bred specifically as an urban draft animal is a TIL for me too.

You are clearly a person with excellent taste too then. ;)
But more seriously, what other channels have I posted that you watch? Got any channels you really enjoy that I haven't posted, and so may not know about yet? I am always looking to add more interesting channels to my subscription list. :)
Some you've already mentioned, such as Technology Connections, Tasting History, and Modern History TV. There's a few I'm not sure I've seen from you but I've posted about elsewhere: For Kids - I...
The Histocrat Long form historical content. All over the place in terms of what it dives into.
Historia Civilis Fun and animated videos mostly exploring the Roman Republic (battles, holidays, important events) and some other European historical events post renaissance.
Cooking
Food Wishes Chef John is a treat to the world and helped me feel confident to try new things in the kitchen.
Geography
Casual Earth is fun for exploring weird geographical quirks in our world.
Mike Mena Taking complex ideas on modern linguistics, identity, race, and culture and creating accessible videos exploring these concepts in a constructive way.
Misc
Jacob Geller A grab bag of mostly meta-studies of video game related content and some other stuff.
Horses Long ramblings about history, politics, metaphysics, and more.
Storied PBS retells and explores folklore and mythology.
Isaac Arthur Long form video essays venturing into theoretical future/sci-fi scenarios.
This list is by no means exhaustive and I'd love to add more!
Oh damn, thank you very much for taking to time to write out all those recs! There are actually quite a few in there I haven't seen before. In fact, the majority of them, which is surprising, and...
Oh damn, thank you very much for taking to time to write out all those recs! There are actually quite a few in there I haven't seen before. In fact, the majority of them, which is surprising, and exciting (since I have a bunch more channels to dive through now)! :P
Most of the ones I have heard of I have actually posted before to Tildes though. E.g. Townsends, Historia Civilis, Rob Words, Horses. And I have heard of Food Wishes, but Chef John's vocal affectations really get under my skin for some reason, so I don't watch him often.

I'm on mobile so I won't try linking, but I can encourage two other cooking channels I've learned a lot from:
Spain on a Fork
French Cooking Academy
Maybe these might be more your style? Similar presentation as Food Wishes, and a similar emphasis on technique over just following a recipe.
Sweet. Never heard of those either! Subbed. And since you have been making so many recommendations, it's only fair I contribute some of my own. My fav cooking channels are TastingHistory (which...
Sweet. Never heard of those either! Subbed. And since you have been making so many recommendations, it's only fair I contribute some of my own. My fav cooking channels are TastingHistory (which you mentioned already), Sorted Food, My Name Is Andong, AlmazanKitchen (super relaxing food porn), Jason Farmer (reveals chain restaurant secrets), and Joshua Weissman.
p.s. To keep it a bit more topical, here are a bunch more Military History / Battle Visualization channels along the lines of Historia Civilis that are worth checking out (if you haven't already):

The algorithm has been pretty good to me over the years, but it can definitely be a bit hit or miss, especially if you don't cull your viewing history regularly to remove the stuff you're not interested in seeing more of. Do you ever use the "New to you" filter on the home feed though? That has led me to discover a ton of wonderful channels over the years too. You should give it a try if the regular auto-play recommendation algorithm is stuck in a bit of a rut.
TIL about Alaunts, a now extinct breed of hunting dog.

It's like you're posting my YouTube watch history...
Seriously, we have incredibly similar tastes. Sorry for the noise, it's just funny to me.
You are clearly a person with excellent taste too then. ;)
But more seriously, what other channels have I posted that you watch? Got any channels you really enjoy that I haven't posted, and so may not know about yet? I am always looking to add more interesting channels to my subscription list. :)
Some you've already mentioned, such as Technology Connections, Tasting History, and Modern History TV. There's a few I'm not sure I've seen from you but I've posted about elsewhere:
For Kids - I like having some decent channels that I can enjoy with the kids.
Science Max is like Bill Nye and Mythbusters made for kids with modern production values. Consistently a hit.
Vooks animated storybooks. Simple, but safe.
Scratch Garden Grab bag of quality content for kids. I use it daily.
Music
Polyphonic is a well-made channel involving a wide variety of music history.
12Tone does deep dives into song structure and composition.
History
Ancient Americas is all about prehistory in America. Very well researched.
Townsends You must have run into this before, but I'm adding it here in case you haven't. Overlaps a lot with my cooking interests.
Trey the Explainer Not sure where to categorize this guy under, he wears many hats. Dinosaurs, cryptids, archeology, and folklore.
Stefan Milo Well-researched anthropology channel.
Told in Stone More well-researched videos on greco-roman antiquity.
The History Squad Similar to Modern History TV.
The Histocrat Long form historical content. All over the place in terms of what it dives into.
Historia Civilis Fun and animated videos mostly exploring the Roman Republic (battles, holidays, important events) and some other European historical events post renaissance.

Geography Geek Old maps and exploring the world.
Linguistics
Rob Words History of the English language.
Mike Mena Taking complex ideas on modern linguistics, identity, race, and culture and creating accessible videos exploring these concepts in a constructive way.

Most of those are new to me - thank you! I feel the YouTube algorithm has left me in a rut lately so I appreciate the recs.
