I'm damn near 40, can I please talk to you about the Aztec Empire for an hour and a half?

That's the oldest-looking 33 year old...
Yeah, whoever made this was probably 20 and thinks that's what a 33-year-old looks like.
Not having good sunblock back then made people look a lot older than they were.
I dunno man. It could be a 33 yr old sharing their experiences.
So young, so precious those 33 year olds, so full of optimism.
Donβt knock a deep dive into the Battle of Midway until youβve tried it.
But make it the Montemayor one, Part 1 being from the Japanese perspective, taking us along for a wild ride inside the fog of war.
The level of quality narrative is nothing short of outstanding.
"It's ya boi gobbledeznutz here's my 17 hour video essay on the first diesel battle ship and how it lead to beanie babies." Presented in PowerPoint maybe with a bit of total war if your lucky And you watch the whole thing
Yes, except all the information you seek is inside the great Wikipedia.
Depends on the subject matter. The less popular subject matters still should be read in books.
Depends on how "popular" of a subject it is. There are plenty of subjects on Wikipedia that are not popular enough to have ever been published about in print.
I guess that's the other side of the coin. I'm a Mesoamerican history nerd and a lot of the articles on Wiki are sparse at best on the subject or outright misinformation (repeated misinformation I see almost verbatim copied and pasted). I see your point though, without an easy way of archiving information a lot of subjects would and have fallen through the cracks in humanity's notice.
Thankfully I'm avoiding most noisy university-sophomore politics in my content, whenever it pops up I quickly prune it out of my content feed.
Currently, the four main subjects on my watch history are particle physics, cosmology, Gobekli Tepe (and everything related to those ancient TaΕ Tepeler people), Sumerian cuneiform writing (courtesy of the extraordinary Professor Irving Finkle).
But to keep things on topic, I regularly have to block suggested channels and videos that start straying towards clickbait controversy, "Is Science Dying?" and "The Image NASA Doesn't Want You To See!", that sort of bullshit.
The goddamned algorithm, and those that feed it, it's mindlessly relentless constant mechanism, and I hate it, but there is so much treasure among the brushes and poison ivy one has to keep on hacking at, with the proverbial digital machete. There is so much legit gold in there.
Actively managing your algorithm and feed is essential to keeping your sanity these days. There's so much good content out there, but there's even more garbage.
Those kids have no idea whatsoever of what went on at Stalingrad.
Can somebody translate the Hebrew text in the last panel?
It resembles Hebrew, but it's just random lines meant to simulate text. It's not actual text.
Porque no las dos?
Drachinifel anyone?
The Aubrey/MaturΓn books are awesome. Too bad they only made a single movie from them (Master and commander) but what a movie it was!
There's the odd rumour here and there of a TV series, which is where this series would be better than films if done right. But alas, these these rumours stay rumours.
The books are great but they're not really broken up into self-contained stories. It's more like one incredibly long adventure and the books just end when they get to a certain length and then the story picks up in the next one. A series would be perfect for that. Only problem is that it would have to be heavily CGI.
My friends who are self-proclaimed history nuts essentially only read hagiographies.
Probably watch youtube because the mass media has been captured by Capitalism and its political forces.
