Ask HN: What livestream do you keep open in a tab?
I recently found the Brooks Falls bear cam (Katmai, Alaska). It's become the calmest thing on my screen. It's peak salmon run right now, so it's basically bears and their all-you-can-eat salmon feast. But there's a bear that only fishes by belly-flopping at the salmon, and as far as I can tell has never once caught anything. I have no idea how it's still eating. A few others just sit in the water doing nothing at all. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ZrIDvqlic What's yours?

I don’t use YouTube much so I had no idea anything like this existed! Thank you.

I have a few fireplace/campfire videos downloaded locally that I put on while reading.

Brooks bears are wonderful. The sound is calming. I also like Surfline: https://www.youtube.com/live/hm9iAviOZ20?is=zkOMcU_8Sck0LOer

Level 2 stocks, usually includes GameStop. Often the chat is the more interesting part. Lots of eyes, people watching and spotting trends and anomalies. I’ve learned a lot and it pays for my hobbies but if I wasn’t invested or already had a good idea of how markets worked, I’d likely be disinterested.

Not on YouTube I think but my friend to told me about the great elk migration 24/7 stream in Sweden is her yearly favorite thing. I think one can watch it on SVT homepage https://youtu.be/Pz35sXPjo2c?si=tEP5TlI8rDqWccb9

I maybe in minority on this. I can focus only on one thing at a time. I fail miserably if I try even background music. It would play but I probably wouldn't register. And if I hear the music then my work will take at least twice as longer.
