The Cranky Cynic Tom Peracchio 

Sick of viral myths, lazy “Google it” answers, and cult worship of fake geek gods? The Cranky Cynic cuts through the BS. We dig up forgotten inventors, expose recycled conspiracies, and laugh at “truth by consensus.” No crowdsourced nonsense. Just raw, cranky, geek‑history truth.

I grew up before the internet, learning from encyclopedias and almanacs. Later, teaching people how to use the web, I discovered something unsettling: the internet wasn’t just documenting history — it was creating it. And not always in a good way.

This channel pushes back. Every video: forgotten inventor stories, myth-busting deep dives, and the real, messy history of human innovation — no hype, no hero worship, no "just Google it."

Debunking viral myths and exposing fake geek gods one cranky truth at a time.
