Motorcycles
https://youtube.com/@FortNine?si=GXooYCKjCYaMPgPF FortNine puts out the best moto content I've found on the Internet.
Chef John is literally the best! Every time some other popular YouTube cook puts out a recipe talking about how xyz is the authentic way to do it and they take half an hour to explain everything, chef john already had a video recipe for it from 5 years ago with exactly the right/authentic ingredients and technique in a 10 min straightforward video. Or he'll have the practical way to make something that gets you 90% of the way there with half the effort and cost. And you actually end up with something good when you follow his recipes. Especially important when making food you've never eaten before and have no frame of reference for how it should be.
He's the best, his technique explanation videos, his recipes..
He really wrote the book, on how to be a YouTube cook
