“Oddly Satisfying”: 40 Times People Were Unexpectedly Pleasantly Surprised By What They Saw
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!

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.

These are so beautiful... walking on this surface would be amazing. Well, not so much if it cracked or broke, but still...

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

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

I actually preferred the first one, it’s more natural and it’s prettier

When your drink is provided by the Umbrella Corporation - that's not a good sign!

Nice for the first 30 minutes, then you'll go out of your mind with boredom.

As this is the second of these in 45 posts it seems the chances are 2/45 or 44444 in a million.

It’s interesting how many of these pictures called up the memory other senses in my head — the smell of crayons, the sounds of plastic unwrapping and popping, the crunch of perfectly groomed snow. It’s like my brain is so fond of these orderly experiences that just the picture is enough to revive the deepest sensory parts of my memory.
