Dime Store Adventures is a guy who researches local history from around New England, travels there and makes videos about it. Often researching or trying to find something while filming, making it feel like an actual adventure. A lot of it is centered around cemeteries, background stories about the people buried there, grave monuments with crazy backstories, but also old newspaper articles, local legends and forgotten historical landmarks or geographical features. He seems pretty serious about doing his research, he clearly knows his way around local libraries and archives and I find his way of presenting the information and his enthusiasm about the subjects very engaging. Especially when he goes around looking for something and actually finds it.

What on Earth is This? Is a British guy who travels mostly around Europe (sometimes further) and goes to see engineering features or other manmade structures that have interesting backstories or stand out in some way. He tries to do a pretty deep dive into why something was built or operated a certain way while keeping his videos short and to the point. I also really like his enthusiasm and way of explaining things.

I don’t want ANY slop!

Stop counting your points! Keep counting mine!

Definitely the first thing that stood out to me when I joined.

I saw this posted a few years ago and apparently the stickers were designed and placed there by pranksters. Which, you know, should have been pretty obvious to everyone to begin with.

It’s extra fun when they are delusional enough to accidentally tell on themselves.

For example, if someone tells me unprompted that their nasty family members are falsely accusing them of something and cut off contact over it, I immediately believe whatever “false” accusations they claim to have against them.

I use this example because I literally had this conversation with a total stranger and he truly had no idea how bad he was making himself look.

The first time his name showed up in my news feed I genuinely thought it was a character name of some movie or video game villain. Imagine my surprise when I found out that’s the actor’s actual name.
