- rdlw 2y agoYou might enjoy the wonderful channel Lindybeige: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3A44729FA673EBFF https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3A44729FA673EBFF (playlist: "Lindybeige Rants on History") I especially like this video: https://youtu.be/lZfpQzV2GnM https://youtu.be/lZfpQzV2GnM ("Ropes and Hollywood", a rant about the value of rope and the silliness of cutting one 1-4 times every 90 minutes)
