This deserves my undivided attention for 4 hours

Me watching a video about dishwasher pod inefficiencies:

Wait until you get to the inner working of a pinball machine or jukebox!
- Soz too busy watching how lava lamps function.
And the yearly Christmas lights video :D

Not gonna lie very few teachers from my experience have the charisma in their teaching that an experienced Podcaster has on a topic.

I've had a couple for sure who I could listen for hours teach.

But many would just rattle off facts endlessly and wouldn't really engage.

to be fair, a podcaster only has to engage in the topic once, imagine repeating the same thing for years 6h+ every day
- Also, a live performance in front of a hostile audience has special challenges.
This is what has not been leveraged by almost any learning institution! The people that are explaining a concept to students for the first time and people who are good at answering questions while the student is practicing/digesting the information do not need to be the same people! This is how you increase the efficiency of education, you specialize roles.

Anyone got a link to the dolphin social hierarchies episode?

They do discuss it briefly in No such thing as a fish ep. 43.
I’ve recently started listening to “Ologies”, and she has a 2-part series

Yeah but you chose to watch that podcast, you didn't have a choice on what you learned in school.

me_irl, whenever Hbomberguy or Jenny Nicholson publish a video essay about someone or something I had never heard of

I loooooove the meltdown the Star Wars: Galactic Cruiser twitter/subreddit had after Jenny's "Star Wars Hotel" video, especially the segment where she predicted every type of comment she was going to get (and she was 100% bang on). It was the first or second time since the blackout that I had actually spent more than a minute on Reddit scanning for the answer of my Google query.

Thank you for spending $6000USD and suffering for our entertainment, Jenny o7
- Reading that subreddit has been my husband's latest pastime, he loves reading people be angry for some reason, and I guess the battlenet forums weren't amusing enough anymore!
  
  I just feel so bad for Jenny, who was so clearly trying to hard to make things work and at every turn Disney was just "fuck yooouuuuu"
Hbomberguy is so good. I've seen his oof video 3 times and just started my third re-watch of his plagiarism video. I was browsing through his older videos and saw that he had an older plagiarism video as wellnot as long and worth the watch too.
Thank you for turning me on to a new deep dive YouTuber. I love Jenny Nicoleson, I have high hopes for Hbomberguy.
- Oooooh boy, you're in for something. Amazing guy. I rewatch his Pathologic video bimonthly
- I discovered Jenny's channel last week and I am 4 videos in, the 4 hour Star Wars hotel video was a work of art

It is possible you have ADD or ADHD. Just saying, because this is kind of a hallmark of those illnesses. Whether it’s defiance or lack of interest.

Being curious about science podcasts is not a hallmark of ADHD. It's just a hallmark of people who like learning about science.
- But being unable or disinterested in mandatory work versus being ultra interested in voluntary work; that is a hallmark symptom of both illnesses.

Well, this is the difference between doing something voluntarily and compulsorily.

Haha, this is so accurate.
