      Damn beat me to the punch. This entire channel is great, especially if you're looking for content that isn't Youtube-y (surprised face thumbnails, titles that omit relevant info to drive clicks, mid video sponsors, etc...)

    A 1.58-Dimensional Object by Numberphile

    A video where a mathematician leads you down an exploration from fractals to a generalized definition of "dimensions" that goes beyond whole numbers.

    It gave me that aha moment you get from seemingly unrelated areas of math connecting in a surprising way that deepens your understanding of both.


    This site lets you spy on people. Are you one of them? by Christophe

    (non-clickbait title: A camera in your vicinity might be publicly accessible on insecam)

    For over a decade, Insecam has compiled unsecured security cameras from all over the world. What’s it trying to achieve?

    Insecam is a strange corner of the internet. It’s a site that compiles live feeds from IP cameras — internet-connected devices often used for security — that aren’t protected with a password.

    The site’s creator states that any cameras that invade someone’s private life are removed. But the end result is still an eerie platform for peeking into life in real-time around the world.

    I set out to try to identify where one of these cameras was streaming from, and help its owner take it offline.


    MinnMax Jumps Into A Lake's Ice Hole by Minnmax

    MinnMax is an independent media outlet that focuses primarily on games. But once a week, they have a show called "New Show Plus" can lead to them branching out of games and doing something that their community votes on:

    MinnMax's Leo Vader and Ben Hanson visit Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis and jump into a hole carved into the ice, when the outside temp is 5 degrees. Sarah Podzorski joins to record the entire, absurd endeavor. This is what we're calling a "Charge Shot" episode of New Show Plus, where occasionally we'll put something in the poll for Backstage Pass Patreon supporters that's a bigger/more extreme idea for a show but we'll skip a week or two of regular New Show Plus to make it happen.


    A Beginner's Guide to Asian Sauces by Doobydobap

    Been working on getting better at cooking, and ended up sitting through this 40 minute video about condiments. I found it informative, enjoyed the example dishes that were paired with the sauces, and the presenter is very funny.

    Annyeong Doobies! I hope you enjoy this guide to Asian Condiments. There's a lot we cover in this video, so if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them all in the comments below. I'd also love to know what some of your staple condiments are in your country, so please share :}

    This video by Rhystic Studies was really enjoyable. He always puts out really high quality videos and this is no different. He is a magic the gathering channel (and this video is about magic cards) but I feel done so in a way that anyone could watch and get enjoyment out of them! Highly recommend
