Thanks for the further detail!

There was a response I left in the main comment thread but I’m not sure if you will get the notification. I wanted to post it again so you see it

Please feel free to ask any questions! Math is a wonderful field full of beauty but unfortunately almost all education systems fail to show this and instead makes it seem like raw robotic calculations instead of creativity.

Math is best learned visually and with context to more abstract terms. 3Blue1Brown is the best resource in my opinion for this!

Here’s a mindblowing fact for you along with a video from 3Blue1Brown. Imagine you are sliding a 1,000,000 kg box and slamming it into a 1 kg box on an ice surface with no friction. The 1 kg box hits a wall and bounces back to hit the 1,000,000 kg box again.

The number of bounces that appear is the digits of Pi. Crazy right? Why would pi appear here? If you want to learn more here’s a video from the best math teacher in the world.

Wow thank you!

Thank you mods for your work! I’m loving these communities!

Glad you are enjoying it! Please feel free to share any other channels like Computerphile, Numberphile, Mutual Information, & Veritasium. It’s difficult to find gems nowadays on YT.

Thanks for the comment! It is cool and also pretty aesthetically pleasing!

Thanks for sharing! (No worries, changed the title from “fact” to “thing” to be a bit more broad)

No problem! Glad you found it useful!

Yeah lol. Search engines have gone down in quality so bad it really does feel like that. It has been so difficult finding stuff on google/duckduckgo etc that I have to rely on portals now.

Thank you all for your answers!

I wanted to add one resource I found that has helped me find even more relevant search results:

A Lemmy Search Engine https://www.search-lemmy.com/

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Comments like these is why I love Lemmy. A hidden gem in the sea of news spam.

If I can ask, how did you even find that place?

It’s very sad indeed that this is the “best”. The only thing better would probably be specific youtubers who go get news sources for themselves. But I’m not aware of many.

Improvethenews is a collection of all news sources and provides all sides of an argument. This is one of the best news aggregators.

Thank you so much for your answer!

I know right? Valve keeps raising the bar so high you wonder how it can be topped. I can’t wait for Half Life 3!

Half Life is awesome! If I had to choose from all the games I’ve played, the half life series has to be best in my opinion. There are so many small details and world building elements in each half life game that it really does make it feel like you are in the game. And then there is Half Life: Alyx…

It was so immersive, I smashed my head against the wall trying to run away from something lol

Not a channel, but some resources. The addons are all open source. Also unfortunately many subreddits that had quality channel suggestions have been either banned due to being “unmoderated” or are lost to time. Please post any finds here or help archive them if you can. The Datahorders community is a great place to start!

• Sponsorblock
• Return YouTube Dislikes
• uBlock Origin

List of resources to find more gems. Note many posts and subreddits have been lost/banned/removed. Here are the ones I found.
