Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Any recommendations for clean, educational, interesting videos, similar to Wendover?
Half as interesting is his other channel. Real Life Lore is somewhat similar too. Tom Scott is the same idea, but very different video style. Some of the series on Vox is in that category. Maybe Great Big Story.

Once you dip into more pure education (especially science), there are a ton of great ones:
TED-Ed
Vsauce
Veritasium
Smarter Every Day
Minute Earth
Minute Physics
Mark Rober
CGP Gray
Crash Course
Knowing Better
If you don't care why would you comment?

Ever notice how Ted-Ed throws in leftist politics in many videos? There was a recent one about the Roman political comedian with caricatures of Trump, McConnell and Ryan.

Fascinating story
Agree on that. But the story doesn't make sense why he went off or came back on.

Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

I actually heard of him before in a series of lectures given on the Orthodox Jewish history of LA. Fascinating

First post? Is this Mr. Sam Wendover himself?!?!? Although your location is Lakewood, so highly unlikely

Why do you think that this may be Mr. Sam Wendover?
