A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Techmoan. I used to be super into his content on old obscure stuff but it fell off a cliff for me a couple years ago. Instantly bored.
AvE when he started getting right wing preachy. Guy had a winning formula and destroyed it.
Electroboom. Similar to techmoan... Booooooring. I don't care about the outlets in whatever country you are visiting this month.
John Oliver. It's too depressing to find out what levels of depravity and corruption the ruling class is up to. I can't handle it anymore.
I blocked AvE's channel when he supported the anti-science, anti-Canadian, idiot trucker convoy circle jerk in Ottawa.
Ya, I never expected him to be pro-government, but really never expected him to be antivax and pro convoy. I wasn't really interested when he got his CNC so I put him on the back burner, only come back again right in the middle of his batshit insanity.
I used to rarely subscribe to anyone, so he was the very first unsub for me.
Lol, totally agree about Techmoan, AvE and Electroboom. I hadn't thought of why I've not watched them in forever but I think you hit the nail on the head.
Colin Furze is another I think fits into this, when all his stuff was janky and sketchy as all hell, like a attaching a pulse jet hydroformed using a pressure washer to a bike, great, loved it. It was really like he just thought something would be fun and made it with the tools he had. But ever since he got a youtube series everything started getting less janky and more properly thought out. All the things were bizarre contrived contraptions that have no use and made using fancy CNC machines, expensive specialty parts and he even has time to make fancy decorations for it all now rather than looking janky by design. Or otherwise hes digging under his house again and I'm just not interested.
I thought the foreign electrical system content was interesting compared to electrobooms normal schtick. But I can still only handle a short amount of his content
In the same vein as AvE, SV Seeker. It was fascinating to watch some guy build a 72ft steel sailboat in his yard in Oklahoma, but he became such an asshole his YouTube channel got deleted.
