In this world where people are going gaga over time-lapse videos on Instagram and fidget spinners, even a simple thing can make us feel satisfied. Don’t you believe that? Okay, so tell how would you feel if you see smooth icing on a cake or perfectly aligned tiles? If you see a spotless lid on a yogurt cup or cool calligraphy?
We know these oddly satisfying would satisfy your soul. And why wouldn’t it? After all, in this perfectly imperfect world, we want something that can make us feel relaxed. And surprisingly, symmetry, order, colors, and evenness makes us feel better.
To give you a glimpse of how the world would look if it was perfect, we have listed a few pictures. You can just scroll down and soothe your perfectionist soul.

If you like these pictures, you can follow the popular r/OddlySatisfying subreddit that has more than 5 million followers. This amazing group was created back in 2013 and its main aim is to celebrate “little things that are inexplicably satisfying.”
r/OddlySatisfying was actually inspired by another great subreddit group, r/mildlyinteresting. It says that “which was born out of a discussion in r/WTF about the need of a clearer categorical distinction between images that are evocative of WTF and those that would be more aptly described as ‘mildly interesting.’”

Kevin Allocca, the head of trends and culture at YouTube has said, “we don’t need to be able to explain why we like something in order for it to exist.”
Kevin further explained that “I think we’ve always had a desire to watch these types of things, but we just didn’t have the language for it. Now we do.”
