        I loaded the website youtube.com, and then once the page loads if you look near the top there’s a text box labelled “search”. into that text box I put “bob ross yellow ochre mountains”, and clicked the “search” button. Notice that the page changes from the home page to the search results. I then scrolled through the search results, clicking on the top few videos and skipping to the mountain section in each video to check if it’s relevant. I can use the video preview feature on the timeline by hovering my cursor over a section of the video to get a low resolution preview of what part of the painting he’s up to. Once I found the correct video, I focussed into the url bar in my web browser by pressing cmd-L, then pressed cmd-A and cmd-C to copy the url, and then in Lemmy I was able to paste that same url by using the cmd-V shortcut.

    I’m glad Bob Ross is still popular. He was always my go-to in the early morning after a night of partying, and his skills were even more impressive when I was sitting on the couch, dazed and confused, with the loot from the fridge spread out in front of me.

      Bob Ross was always on at 2:00 on PBS, which lined up perfectly for me finishing college classes and getting home. It was always such a nice way to de-stress after school.

      Years later when I would babysit my 2 year old nephew, I found that it was actually a good show for kids to watch and calm down. Something about his whole demeanor is just magical.

        He’s one of the original ASMR masters.

        I used to live watching The Woodright’s Shop saturdays on PBS too. Amazing skill and sharp ass chisels are fun to watch.

          agreed! so much humble skill on display and trying to impart that upon the world, instead of hiding it and charging out the ass

            Could you imagine a modern day Bob Ross? “And now we’re going to mix a little Titanium White with some Phthalo Green - and while we’re doing that, don’t forget to like and subscribe.”

              To be fair, there’s a bunch of channels on YT where people just quietly and calmly do something they’re good at. But you don’t really see them.
