You know the update for the next version of iOS is relatively minor when some of the biggest new features are Animoji related. New to iOS 12, which entered into public beta Monday, is the ability to create custom animoji based off your own face. The “memojis” are Apple’s attempt to capitalize on Bitmoji. And will…
The Chinese government’s anti-pornography office announced earlier this month that video streaming services in the nation need to “thoroughly clean up vulgar and pornographic ASMR content.” And while the agency called for a crackdown specifically on content that is “vulgar” or sexual in nature, many of China’s leading…
Popular in Turkey and parts of Asia, ebru is a unique form of painting that swaps a canvas for a liquid-filled pan that’s sprinkled and splattered with vibrant colored pigments. Using specialized tools, unique patterns can be created by carefully mixing the floating pigments through a process that might be even more…
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, or ASMR, is one of the internet’s favorite things. So you’d think marrying it to another popular thing, Star Wars, would be a perfect match. Well, it’s something, that’s for sure.
In the years since its 2007 release, almost every facet of Bee Movie has been embraced the internet’s meme community. In recent months, we’ve seen Jerry Seinfeld’s interspecies rom-com reordered alphabetically and sped up to incomprehension—even recut to exclude bees entirely.
The ASMR effect is very pronounced in this video of cardboard and styrofoam getting shredded, because it all just sounds so damn pleasant. Or, well, it’s pleasant if you like having a tingling sensation run around your ears and all the way down your spine. After all, it’s Friday and everybody can use a little bit of…
Trump is bad. So is ASMR. This will ruin your night. I’m sorry.
Unlike the gorilla himself, the Harambe meme simply will not die.
Behold the majestic Banja Dam in Albania. It’s a huge hydroelectric project that hit a big milestone over the weekend—its reservoir reached over 550 meters above sea level. To release some of the excess water, dam operators opened the spillway for the very first time and filmed the event from the air. The dang thing…
We’ve seen the space oddity of mixing colors and paint together before. What makes this one especially fun to watch is the soothing sound of the liquids merging and the bubbles popping. It’s really easy to lose track of time when you’re watching the colors and shapes go by.
Some weeks can leave you feeling like you don’t want to live on this planet anymore. For one hour and 34 blissful minutes you can move to the marshy forests of Dagobah, and leave your earthly problems behind you.
Brain, why aren’t you getting along with eyes. Eyes, what the hell are you doing to ears. Ears, why are you confusing your feelings. It’s so unsettling to see a carrot get unpeeled because your eyes are seeing something they don’t ever get to see while your ears are hearing the satisfaction of peeling while your brain…
It has all the makings of those ASMR triggering videos we all love to feel on our scalp and spine but it’s also a little bit unsettling too since the whole video moves in reverse. We’re not watching a tomato get chopped up but rather seeing it get unsliced and that reversal of action throws everything into a bizarrely…
If you’ve experienced it, you know what I’m talking about, although you might not have known the name for it. It’s when a sound triggers a physiological response from your body—perhaps a slight tingling that starts at the nape of your neck. It feels gooooood. But what is it?
The existence of bubbles is the world telling people that life is silly and fun is worth having and moments, no matter how short they may be, are worth remembering (until they pop and the sadness settles in). I never knew the existence of bubbles also encouraged us to trip the hell out too. Because when you look…
It’s a little brain jiggling to watch this macro footage of incense burning because you’re seeing fire disintegrate the burning light but hear a pitter patter that resembles rain fall. And what the most backwards thing is that the strongest sense of incense—the smell, duh—can’t be felt. The juggling of senses is fun,…
It’s unfair. Something so simple and basic should not be able to leave a lasting impact on me like this. The act of sharpening a knife, though absolutely a skill, is a chore of maintenance, not something that can be this satisfying to watch. But just take in this video below, hear the knife on the whetstone, see the…
