Wait a second, friend...there is something you should know about the Way Back Machine. It isn't an unbiased repository of information. They arbitrarily scrub the archives of inconvenient truths from time to time. They recently scrubbed the internet of the past tweets of a notorious doxxer who harasses women and private citizens for tweeting politics she doesn't like under the guise of "journalism".

My pleasure! I'm still getting used to how best to browse it. It looks like you can do searches of all of peertube on this site: https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content

But in order to actually browse content, you usually need to go to a particular instance like https://the.jokertv.eu/ or also there's a list of instances here: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-totalVideos

It does sort-of feel like you have to look around or get lucky to find good instances, like trying to find good subreddits without the benefit of r/all. The fediverse is growing with Mastodon now though, so hopefully there will be more development on PeerTube soon.

EDIT: Some other fun stuff I'm finding on Peertube:

A collection of short films   An instance for hosting a bunch of popular creative commons videos(?) https://vidcommons.org 

^ I found out about vidcommons.org on r/peertube, which is the subreddit for peertube.

Some Christmas-themed videos:

A reading of A visit from St. Nicholas (the poem)

A Christmas cartoon compilation

If anyone else finds some cool stuff on peertube, I'd be glad to hear about it!

I partly just wanted to see if something hosted not on YouTube (but on an instance of the open-source alternative, Peertube) would work as a submission on this sub. I'm disappointed that Reddit doesn't seem to be able to play it without following the link to its own page.

I'm also excited to see that a bunch of people liked the video, which I also enjoyed. I love both The Internet Archive and the fediverse for making things more easily accessible and less easy to manipulate or exploit.

A lot of it was survival of the fittest with a healthy dose of "holly shit that almost killed me i need armored armpits."

Two million have become exiles living desperate lives. [00:50:11] by Missing_Trillions

Bush sucks. That whole family does. Sheer evil that set us and sadly millions of others back generations.

There's some vid out there of bush just cracking wise and kinda making fun of the WMDs lie. It's just disgusting.

The US brought saddam to power. Gave him the gas he used on the kurds because it was leftovers from what he used against iranians.

Exactly my thinking. They also probably had extremely blunt patient/customer feedback to aid in their development process.

Especially since a some of it was incredibly form-fitting with articulated joints.
