Ask HN: What do you watch during lunch or dinner, if you're by yourself?
Hello curious fellows!I've a habit of watching something while having food, be it lunch or dinner. I used to be able to watch some chess game, or a random clip from Would I Lie to You show, but I crave to discover new channels and feeds that are just as fun.My favorites for a 20 minute video formats have been from Wendover Productions, some videos from Tom Scott, Veritasium or such. Sometimes, I might be in the mood for something less demanding in attention, and would just watch Impractical Jokers.Watching an episode of some TV serial sounds longer than 30 mins and that's too much for me.I'm interested to know what do you watch, if any.
