Oddly satisfying experiences primarily relate to engaging sensory activities, often depicted in videos showcasing actions like cutting soap, crunching slime, or mixing paint. These activities create a unique pleasure, as viewers often report a tingling sensation known as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), which is linked to feelings of relaxation and calmness [1][5][6]. 

The appeal of these videos lies in their ability to provide instant gratification without the mess typically associated with these activities, allowing viewers to experience satisfaction without the effort of doing it themselves. This trend has become particularly popular due to a rise in online stress and anxiety, with such videos serving as a form of microtherapy [2][5].
