From funny cat memes to honest parenting tweets, some genres of content have taken over our social media feeds and cemented themselves as the cornerstones of the internet.

This article is about one of them. 'Oddly satisfying' is an online term born out of people's attempts to describe the inexplicably pleasing sensation that we experience while seeing some mundane thing. Like a carefully swirled bookstack, or rainbow foam leaking from a broken car wash. You get the idea.

So we at Bored Panda decided to pay our respects to this cult classic, and what better way to do it than to feature a Twitter account that's named directly after it!

Hard answers that explain our fascination with the oddly satisfying may be lacking, but one possibility is that it taps into our subconscious urge toward what psychologists call the "just right" feeling.

It's the sensation that arises when we've put things in order and serves as a useful cut-off point for simple tasks. It's also what often goes wrong in individuals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)—for reasons not fully understood, some people with OCD don't interpret the sensory cues that indicate the job is done, leaving them searching fruitlessly for a sense of completion. The quest for finality often leads to things like continually rearranging objects and repeatedly checking doors to see if they are locked.

In fact, OCD was the first thing that came to Sarah Keedy's mind when the director of the Cognition-Emotion Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Chicago first viewed an oddly satisfying compilation.

"It was nothing I sat around and thought about, it hit me right away," Keedy said. "It was truly an overwhelming sense of this is a series of visual depictions of things that struck me as rewarding experiences that … [people with OCD] tend to be going for to a pathological degree."

Had a friend in High School whose handwriting looked like a typewriter. Didn't believed he had written it until I asked him to write me something.

I was that kid. Now, I'm that adult. I'm a teacher, and when I write on other teachers' boards, everyone knows who did it.

I hated my handwriting when I was young so I would try to copy whoever had the best handwriting around me. Now when I write for a length of time my handwriting changes. Looks like I have multiple personalities if you just looked at the style.

Same for me. Initially, I tried to copy my dad's amazing handwriting; it looked like an architect's handwriting, clean and beautiful and confident. My mom's handwriting still looks like a kid's, small and curly. XD

I've learned over time that a decent percentage of right handed women have impeccable penmanship. Letters consistently the same in form and shape. As a left handed male I can tell you my stuff looks like a trainwreck.

I have good handwriting unless I'm noting something in a hurry. But that's just because I get insane satisfaction from tidy, pretty notes. I always selected my pens carefully (from a somewhat wide collection) and color-coded my notes as I went, and decorated my notebooks when I could during class. And by god, I hated typoing something when writing with a non-erasable marker!! Sometimes I literally rewrote a page if it got bad enough.... (if I could tear the offensive page off neatly) LOL. I uh... quite often rewrite even shopping lists, too. BUT only to arrange the items in the same order as I'll get them in the store!! I swear!! so what if i happen to make the list a little less scrawly at the same time...

I had an employee suspected of timecard fraud. We could never catch him on the camera covering the punch-clock of the fraudulent clocks, so I brought him in and questioned him about his lack of production during certain hours, and why I couldn't find him on the workstation cameras (it's possible another manager gave him an assignment that would technically show up as normal non-productive.) He straight up admitted he was handwriting in his times! I couldn't believe it, and showed three other managers - he was so good none of them could believe it either! I told him he should be an artist or work forgery for the secret service... Because sadly he didn't have a job there anymore... Wasted talent!

I am insanely jealous of people with good handwriting. I handwrite every day (on the job and in my personal diary) and try as I might, it always looks horrible. My cursive is like different fonts smooshed together.

Me and my whole immediate families handwriting looks like that of a serial killer so I don't know what that's all about. We all went to the same schools everyone with good handwriting went to. 🤷

So jealous. I have trouble writing 5s and 8s. Doesn’t matter how slow I try to do them my brain wanders off halfway.

The wall under is so clean and... untouched, I am surprised about that.

Nuts and bolts that fit snugly together appear to satisfy an existential longing.

In a world of chaos and inelegance, it can be reassuring to see order. If anything, this content reveals that people with OCD aren't anomalous in their desire to bring a pleasing equilibrium to their lives after all.

The oddly satisfying sweet spot was famously examined by researchers from Spain. They gave people with OCD and a control group a word recall task and cut them off in the middle of completing it.

They theorized that a task involving ordering and checking something (in this case, words) would activate their internal "just right" sensors. Stopping them before finishing would then trigger unease.

It's the Great Parterre at Schönbrunn Palace in Wien. It's part of an Italian style Garden planted in mid-XVIII century for Empress Maria Theresa. The trees have been trimmed yearly since then, they are meant to have perfectly square topiary shapes in spring. The trim is made with a traditional method, cut by hand using a wooden scaffold pulled by horses, only recently replaced by an electric tractor. schnbrunn-...ce38b6.jpg schnbrunn-palace-trimmed-trees-126-64f5a9bce38b6.jpg

The hypothesis was right. People in the control group felt uncomfortable when something was left undone, and for the OCD participants, it was even worse (two of them even mailed completed lists to the researchers afterward to satisfy their urge for finality).

The researchers' findings are hardly groundbreaking; of course, we do not like to leave tasks unfinished.

But extrapolating this idea to the oddly satisfying images, it's quite clear why seeing a plant perfectly peeling away from a building gives us so much satisfaction!

It's a common "cool project" for introductory wood spinning courses. It's perfect to learn proper gluing techniques, centering, positioning and repositioning on the mandrel, basic curve shaping, working on uneven materials and surface finishing. Unfortunately this one is quite bad at everything, the gluing is shoddy (hexagons not matching, large holes and glue drops showing), the shape is uneven, there are burn mark from improper workmanship and the finish is lacking.

It's great until you want to get a book out and can't without ruining a large part of it.

Being an inert and natural material, with glass there are no chemicals that can leach into the liquid and affect the coke's flavour. That's why drinking out of a bottle may be the best way to get the purest Coca-Cola flavor, But the reason I have heard most {I have been told by the workers at a lil Mexican shop near my house that is the only place in 50 miles that sells it} Some say that Mexican Coke tastes more “natural” than American Coke because American-made Coke switched to using high fructose corn syrup as a sweetening agent in 1980. Mexican Coke continued using cane sugar to sweeten its version
