When I was growing up, we had discovery channel. That sparked my intrinsic curiousity. My daughter has that intrinsic motivation as well, but only for k-pop now. She likes youtube videos and she likes when I tell her about science stuff. Maybe I can combine that by recommending her some good youtube channels.

Slop for my horses. Used AI to parse the comments and make a cohesive list with it's best shot at links

Then hand checked the links, fixed any broken ones I could find.

The classifications to the right are AI generated, feel free to comment and have me change things.
