The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.
I will continue and add/edit/refine this list as my time permits. Please send me a message if you spot a broken link, have general grievance with some sort of error, or have a good link we can add.
Thank you Everyone!
Edit: It looks like this thread has been archived, so if anyone has any more suggestions please PM me. I plan to work on this list and add annotations for each link and maybe do some better organizing. When that is done I will post it again to try to get all the new links that have sprung up over the last year and to allow comments to be made again.
Edit 1: Cooking is really light, it’s only a search for videos on youtube. If anyone has any recs, that would be awesome.
Edit 2: I took off anything that you have to pay for unless some people can get it through their local library. I’ve gone through them all, updated 08-05-23
