Looking at something that’s ultra-satisfying is probably one of the best ways to deal with the stress of day-to-day life. I guess that’s probably why those videos where they deep clean rooms are super popular.
This list has some really nice pictures that have had me reaching an ultimate state of Zen. I’m sure they’ll scratch that itch for you, too.
“The way the Subway by my house cuts tomatoes.”
That is one massively satisfying display of tomatoes. The sad cucumber display right next to it only makes it look that much better, I’d say.
This fitted sheet that looks as smooth as a fitted sheet can get.
Sure, it may not be completely wrinkle free, but considering how hard it can be to get your fitted sheet back on your mattress in the first place, this is really great.
“A satisfying distribution of flavors in my Skittles pack.”
Seeing something like a pack of Skittles being arranged by color is never not satisfying. The fact that there was enough of each color to make a pyramid is even better!
“The way my cutleries perfectly aligned with the box I put them in.”
This arrangement is honestly making me so happy right now. It’s kind of too bad that those sets are going to have to be placed on tables at some point, because they look like they belong in that box.
“The beautiful presentation of these veggies in this bowl.”
In other words: ratatouille. I’ve never had the stuff before, but I’ve always heard that it doesn’t taste nearly as good as it always looks.
“This perfect camelia [sic] my wife found today.”
I tend to see a lot of pictures of imperfect and asymmetrical flowers online, so this is definitely a welcome change. This flower is honestly so nice to look at.
“This perfectly filled jar of Vegemite.”
Wow, you can even see the exact point where the factory nozzle stopped filling the jar.
Something about the ripples surrounding the center is strangely mesmerizing.
“When I went to get a peanut butter sandwich snack a few nights ago…”
Meanwhile, this jar of peanut butter is absolutely perfect. I’d honestly have a hard time scooping anything out of there because I wouldn’t want to ruin the smooth layer on top.
“Jewelry cleaning is oddly satisfying.” (pt. 1)
OP had a bunch of tarnished silver jewelry that they inherited and decided to clean. I can’t get over how different the sliver looks after being polished!
“Jewelry cleaning is oddly satisfying.” (pt. 2)
I’m honestly so tempted to go see if any of my relatives have tarnished silver they want me to clean, because I’d do it in a heartbeat.
“Jewelry cleaning is oddly satisfying.” (pt. 3)
The before and after for this one almost look like two different pendants! Also, I swear that the polished silver is making the stone in the middle look brighter, too.
“This thin ribbon of ice that developed on a branch overnight.”
As winter in the northern hemisphere is (finally!) starting to wind down, we’re going to see a lot less strangely satisfying ice formations like this one. I guess we should savor them while we still can.
“Getting to the grocery store first thing in the morning.”
I honestly wish I had the time and energy to get up early enough to be the first person in a grocery store for the day. Being able to see something like this in real life doesn’t even seem possible.
“My new phone satisfyingly fit in my car’s wireless charging pad.”
I’m not even exaggerating when I say this may be one of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen in my life. Not even just because of the way the phone is fitting in that slot, either. Like, the whole thing is pure magic!
“The way my embroidery project slowly came to life.”
Talk about having the patience to see this project from start to finish! Not only is the end product satisfying in its own right, but the progress shots are, too.
“Just a bowl of organized rice.”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bowl of rice that’s so perfect, even the grains seem to line up with one another. This is the kind of thing that would be a little hard to eat because it’s just too pretty .
“An enclosed staircase.”
This is both wickedly cool and amazingly satisfying. It’s another one of those things that you just can’t look away from because everything works so well together!
“Making a website for a customer who does underfloor heating. Thought you’d like to see his work.”
I honestly love looking at heated floor coils. You can tell that when this room is finished, the occupant’s feet are going to be super toasty all the time, because those coils are spaced out so nicely!
“Midway through cleaning and conditioning a leather ottoman.”
I love when people share progress shots of things they’re cleaning. You never really get to appreciate how nicely a piece of furniture is being restored unless you compare it to how it looked beforehand.
“The perfect geometry of this hand cream jar I’ve just opened.”
Like any newly opened container of anything, this is absolutely satisfying to look at. It’s also weirdly reminding me about how dry my hands are right now.
