When work-day stress begins to creep up on you, it's nice (and necessary) to take a momentary mental break.
If you spend most of your days at the computer, one of the quickest ways to find calm and composure is to refresh your brain with a quick palate cleanse. The subreddit r/oddlysatisfying features a collection of GIFs and photos that are so inexplicably gratifying, you'll find yourself transfixed for hours* (*probably more like a minute).
Between perfect loops, entralling mechanics and mesmerizing handwriting, these gems are the Internet-equivalent of popping a fresh sheet of bubble wrap. Find your composure with these strangely wonderful GIFs we just can't look away from.
