    Kurgesatz was really good before they started the black mirror season, where every video is about how humanity can get killed by various things.

    Never heard of the other ones but I’ll give it a try.

    And there’s a PBS video for anything you can think about, sometimes they just don’t surface properly with search.

      They’re honest, direct, open, and willing to learn, I love kurzgesagt. The world sucks, but we shouldn’t shy away from understanding why it sucks and how we can improve it

      I am big fan of their prepandemic work. But if you can get past their click bait videos, I think they still do good content.

      Science pieces spreading awareness about something are their best videos.

      This recent video on fentanyl was very good.

      The south korea one, the vaping and weed ones. Very good at condensing complicated topic while still retaining pertinent information that’s new and not patronizing.

        I just showed their Fentanyl video to my 13yo daughter over the weekend and it was incredibly effective as a parenting tool. We paused many times and discussed. But their presentation didn’t leave all that much for me to say.

            In a way it was a breath of fresh a air to hear the high honestly described in a way that makes it understandable why people would want to do it again, but also how it will never, ever be as good as the first time, and will ruin your life.
