      Of all the women I dated, the only ones who actually liked Monty Python, I wasn’t really interested in them! Of the rest, the mostly like the scene with the killer rabbit.

      Meanwhile, I pretty much don’t need the sound on Holy Grail anymore.

    I made my girlfriend watch an almost one hour long video about dishwashers (I think it was by the channel “Technological Connections”)

    Anyway she was amazed and did not regret it!

      Everyone loves Technology Connections. Also, watching Alec rant about Christmas lights every year is tradition now.

      I love trying to get my partner to watch technology connection videos. I don’t think she really believes me when I go, oh yes there is actually a video about traffic lights heating systems or tell her about the multi-year long Christmas decoration lights saga.

      There is at least one follow up to that dishwasher one, or perhaps just a related one, about dishwasher detergent.

      He got some pods chemically tested to vindicate his hatred of them. They scientifically do not work as well as the much cheaper loose powders. Specifically pods don’t utilize the prewash, which is an important part of the machines ability to clean what’s being run through.

      I think he also created his own line of dishwasher detergent because of his lab results iirc

        I’m a woman and I like his channel. The first of his vids I watched was the one about brown being weird* and I went on from there. He’s the only account I follow on mastodon on my main feed and not hidden in a list.

        *the colour, not us brown people.

    Started watching YouTube with my SO but unlike OP found content we could both enjoy.

    It ruined my recommendations and I’m ok with that.

    Fun story… We were watching something together and I dozed off holding the remote. Woke up 10 minutes later and YT had auto played some car restoration video. “Sorry, I must’ve been tired. I’ll find something else.” “DON’T YOU DARE. I’m invested now. I have to see if they’re gonna get this thing to start!”

    I think it’s hot when my wife is into something and is explaining it to me. Even if I don’t share an interest in xyz thing, I find her fascinating, and I like understanding what she likes about a given thing.

    I think she feels the same so I don’t second guess showing her something.

      Explaining something that you’re passionate about is much different than forcing someone to sit through a video.

      When we met and first started dating, my wife and I bonded over our shared interests. And then shared some of our independent interests with each other. Not all of them were picked up by the other, but even for the interests we didn’t pick up, we became generally aware of them, which helped fill in the picture of what the other person was about. And we built some shared interests over topics neither of us were interested in before meeting each other (a shared experience that starts an interest in both of us in some new thing).

      I wouldn’t always describe it as hot (my wife is into some stuff that I genuinely do not understand the appeal), and probably wouldn’t even always describe it as interesting. But we care about each other, even the things we make fun of each other about.

        And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don’t know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.

        I don’t like all the videos of “red flag vs green flag” and “AITA” posts my wife shows me.

        She doesn’t like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

        We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

        Crazy how couples work out like that!

          I don’t understand why you’d send them to eachother if you both know the other doesn’t like them. Like, what? I’m happily married and me and my partner send videos specifically because we either think the other would like them or want to make the other groan at a bad joke.

            It’s less that we “send each other videos we know the other doesn’t like” and more “when we’re relaxing and watching videos, we will show each other a funny video or two but eventually neither of us really cares about the videos as much as the other but neither of us dislikes them enough to stop it because it’s not about the videos it’s about spending time with each other”

    Yeah well I don’t particularly want to watch TikTok videos about cabinet refurbishment. I also dislike the suggestion that “we should do this”.

      I’ll receive similar messages but without the “we should do this”. Later when I haven’t responded I’ll get the “Why don’t you reply to what I sent you?”

      We now have a rule that if you want a reply you have to ask a question. Felt kinda dickish but having that agreement up front has been helpful.

        My objection is more to the suggestion that we do it to our own kitchen cabinets. It’ll be a mess and it won’t work and then will have messed up cabinets.

        Also in terms of equipment I own a screwdriver and maybe a hammer, so it would also involve going out and buying expensive wood sanding equipment and table saws, that I really don’t have a use for. I’m not a DIY sort of person.
