You should check out Tom Scott

Another YouTube recommendation. 

Scott made an astounding number of entertaining and informative little videos. He recently announced he was taking a break, but with more than 700 already in the can, those new to the channel won't run out any time soon. "Why sci-fi alien planets all look the same" "This giant model stopped a terrible plan"

(Students of Post-War hubris will want to read more about the Reber Plan.) "The UK's last aerial ropeway uses no power, moves 300 tonnes a day, and will be gone by 2036."

"I thought the Schmid Peoplemover was impossible"
