I like watching OddTinkering. They take broken stuff and refurbish it in ASMR style. Very satisfying to watch.

These are “smart” channels that are mostly for entertainment but still teach you at least something:
- Stuff Made Here - fun engineering challenge videos
- Veritasium- math and physics explanations
- Mark Rober - kid friendly engineering challenges
- Technology Connections - everyday object explanations
- Steve Mould - science explanation of random concepts
- Outdoor Boys - outdoor survival
- Woodsbound Outdoors - outdoor survival
- Fireship - shorter, technology explanations
- Internet Shaquille - food and cooking explanations
- ElectroBOOM - comedic electrical engineering
- Company Man - light analysis of failed or successful companies
- Atrioc - comedic current events, marketing explanations
The outdoor survival ones are new to me, but for some reason I’m really into them.
Posy Very high production quality short videos about random stuff with lots of cool macro shots and custom made music
xkcd’s What If? Cool absurdly stupid scenarios explained
Hyperspace Pirate “Fridge Guy” makin funny and cold science stuff
Veritasium is probably already in your list i assume?
BreakingTaps Precision machining stuff and general technical analysis (Has an electron microscope [very cool])
does things with a 3d pen no one would be stupid enough to do. He’ll spend hours making a shape that could be done in seconds on a printer and it’s extremely impressive.
I just get “Failed to load media” on the picture. Could you give the name?
Sorry, was trying to link to the channel. Try this video link instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OevV8_TPbq0
Technology connections is good
I agree they are good. But his content is the opposite of “a short 15-30 minute video on a topic”. He has like 2 hour long videos where he talks about dishwashing.
