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?

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

I love this already. Slow-moving large animals are an instant yes for me

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.

Not me, but my dentist always keeps one of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's livestreams in her office.

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.

Weirdly soothing to watch it slowly reposition itself

Brooks bears are wonderful. The sound is calming. I also like Surfline:

Love that sound. I could sit at the beach all day


My doorbell camera. It's like sitting on the stoop watching the world go by

This makes perfect sense. My friend's cat is basically into window TV too

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

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