Someone posted this on my Facebook and I thought it was quite interesting that watching come of them was really soothing, almost like stimming. So satisfying, especially the ones where things fit together beautifully. I can't explain how good it feels! Anyone else find this?

Some of them are frustrating though. The bread one in particular.

I didn't find them soothing, more a little tedious. I tend to find cyclic motions more mesmerising. But I did like the table. That is a really cool table.

UGH it rattles my brain like I'm being electrocuted.

The ones the OP linked to are more pleasant.
I really liked the multi-pencil sharpener.
The table was cool too, and WTF was the last one? Alien goo? (#23)

OP, those are very cool and interesting to watch. I liked the popcorn popping in slow motion (I always wondered what it looks like when popcorn pops). I especially liked the first one, with the latte art.

Those really made my day!

Those were very cool. I really liked the twisted metal, the chain links and the powdery goo at the end, but my favourite was the squishy golf ball. The only thing that was annoying was when the page jumped to the next gif without finishing the one it was on, it felt frustrating and incomplete.

I just saw this one on Imgur and thought of this post.

Brace yourselves.

I love the making a chain link machine. I really could watch that forever. I didn't know that's how it was done.

Not just me that has the chainlink one as the favourite then. I might have watched it for an inordinately long time last night. And saved it to my bookmarks so it's there whenever I want it And the table and the pencils are way up there too.

I really liked the chain and pencils. I think it was because it was continuous; a lot of them had jarring breaks in between cycles. I like the feather duster one though.

None of those did anything for me.

I like this one though -- it's a 3d representation of a 4d cube rotating:

Could watch it for hours.

^^That one is really nice.

I only got to see some of the ones the OP posted, this stupid ipad won't load them. I'll be sure to see the rest when I'm able to, though.
I really enjoyed the one with the geometric shapes, where the person fits the diamond into the shape just right. I used to have those when I was a kid, and I would do the same thing.

This one is really nice to watch--at least to me, it is. Turn your volume down, it has annoying music.
