We’ve visited two online communities that are dedicated to sharing satisfying images.

The most impressive thing about it is that it's indistinguishable from a photograph. The least impressive thing about it is the same.
Stained Glass Reflection On This Cat
Sheets Of Snow
thats not rreal they put a sheet of foam on the water
We all know it’s wise to learn how to appreciate the little things in life. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise on a crisp autumn morning and sharing a cup of coffee with a loved one while spilling about everything that’s going on in our lives. The first ripe tomato that appears in your garden at the beginning of summer and the smell of homemade chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven.
But if you’ve learned to appreciate small things, you can also learn to appreciate the beauty of satisfying images from the internet. These two subreddits, r/Satisfyingas[heck] and r/satisfying are dedicated to sharing images and videos that simply make viewers feel good. The groups have amassed 1.5 million and 329k members respectively, and they’re wonderful safe havens from the chaos of the rest of the internet.

Load More Replies...Photo Of A Peacock Bird (Not The Owner)
While the picture is gorgeous, white peacocks are leucistic (albino, to all intents, for the rest of us). They are white, all over. That is to say, no blue neck, or colored eyes on the feathers. In any case, the colors of the eyes in the feathers reflect colors, such as pink and bright yellow that have no comparison to actual peacock coloring.. White peacock feathers show the colors in muted browns. Still gorgeous, but this one has been colorized.
If you’re wondering why it’s so important for us to take time out of our days to scroll through some feel-good photos, one key reason is because as a people, we are entirely too stressed. According to the Mental Health Foundation, 74% of people living in the UK say they have been so stressed in the last year that they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope.
Sadly, not even a third of older people can say that they never feel overwhelmed, while only 7% of young adults can say the same. And unsurprisingly, stress impacts our behavior in a variety of ways. 46% of people admit that they have eaten too much or eaten an unhealthy diet due to stress, and nearly a third say they’ve started drinking or increased their alcohol intake due to stress.

These Cats Sleeping Perfectly Aligned On The Stairs
There’s the other side of the steps. And on the landing. And inside. There’s always room for more cats!
Load More Replies...Notice how they have their heads against the room-wall. This will be the warmest wall in winter (and coolest in summer). BTW, your feral cats will thank you when it's really hot, if you freeze a 2-liter bottle (soda or such) of water, and leave it outside on the ground. They will straddle it for relief.
The psychological impacts of being stressed out are something to be taken seriously as well. Over half of adults who felt stressed reported that they also felt depressed, and 61% noted that they felt anxious as well. Nearly a third of stressed individuals have even had suicidal thoughts, and over a third of stressed out adults report feeling lonely due to being overwhelmed. It’s extremely important that we prioritize stress management and taking care of our mental health in any way we can. If that means taking 10 minutes to scroll through wholesome and satisfying images, by all means, please do so! I’m sure your doctor would agree that you’re taking a wise step.

I agree with the mystery. I like ice so this should be ranked higher. I can it an upvote.
While we can’t all be relaxed yoga gurus who drink tea and meditate all day long, there is something we can learn from zen individuals. According to Psych Central, there are plenty of benefits we can experience from learning how to manage our stress. First of all, keeping your stress levels in check can reduce your blood pressure. Stress has been linked with changes in blood pressure, which can lead to hypertension and increase a person’s risk of having a stroke or developing heart disease. Because of this, keeping yourself more relaxed might literally extend your lifetime.

Very Rare Beauty. Radiant!
While I agree that it is very beautiful it's not particalarly rare. This is how many types of tomatos ripen.
It's rare for them to turn out so perfectly, especially homegrown.
Load More Replies...There’s no question that being stressed can also do a number on our mental health. One 2020 study found that uncertainty stress among college students was linked to high levels of mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety. It can be extremely difficult to manage stress, especially as a student, but learning how to do so can help with your mood and make completing assignments and everyday tasks much easier.

I Sold My Sofa Over Facebook. Buyer Sent Me This Photo. Perfect Fit
Love it. I helped my daughter moving a couch into a 2nd story town house(really narrow stairs). We eventually made it happen with the help of some random German helpers. It fit perfectly like this in their flat(although it was an angled L shaped one) She eventually moved from there to a single room flat, but the couch stayed, perfect fit shouldn't be messed with.
Looks like they had to take the legs off, tho. It's resting on the skirting board.
Sorry, just enlarged pic and it DOES fit - sorry!

Just had to angle the camera but the lack of anything other than railing, ocean, and sky in the photo is very cool
That's not earth. That's ocean. The ocean is flat! I've just started a new crazy people movement! I'm going to get rich! The ocean is flat, everybody.
Load More Replies...Its very easy for the camera position to be adjusted. Height...tripod? Its not like the ship and sky must move.
Not sure why people are remarking about these not being coincidences. This isn't about coincidences. It's about satisfying images. Which I think this definitely qualifies.
What would you do for a good night’s sleep? Unfortunately, the Sleep Foundation reports that more than one third of adults in the United States aren’t getting enough sleep. Experts say we need a minimum of 7 hours of snoozing time each night, yet unsurprisingly, stress, pain, noise, heartburn, trips to the bathroom, night sweats, PMS and more can keep us from getting our beauty sleep. Psych Central reports that stress can make not only falling asleep, but also staying asleep, more challenging, which can quickly lead to a dangerous cycle. Start taking your bedtime routine seriously by managing your stress levels.

Load More Replies...It's fake (they took one picture of a croissant and copy/pasted it)
I don't think so; look at the tips (tops & bottoms) and you can see some variation. I think the close similarities of the rolling part is due to machine/factory prep?
Load More Replies...If you’re wondering how in the world we’re supposed to decrease our stress when there are wars happening, the cost of living seems to be increasing by the day and the climate is in crisis, you’re not alone. But the CDC recommends a few key ways we can begin to feel more relaxed. First of all, take care of your body. Drink enough water, fuel yourself with healthy meals, limit your caffeine and alcohol intake, see your doctor regularly and ensure you get some physical activity in every day.

The Way The Snow Accumulated
I say that because only Japan could make snow be so adorable!
Load More Replies...Almost looks fake or animated, lol. We just had our first little plowable snow the day before yesterday and it's already gone, completely melted 🫠 I can't believe I actually miss the snow, haha but it's been really warm the past few winters and we don't get nearly as much snow as we used to 😔 thanks to climate change.
We had a monster snow like this New Year’s Day 2019. About 36 inches in one go; we don’t get snow like that very often. It was pretty incredible but shoveling it sucked.
Oh How Wonderful The Rolling Snow Is
... and at the very center, you will find one confused, disgruntled Coyote, cursing the day he first heard the name ACME.
When managing stress, don’t underestimate how helpful the little things can be. A ten minute walk around your neighborhood to get some fresh air, stretch your legs and say hi to a few neighbors can be a great pick-me-up. Call a loved one on the phone and check in with them. Watch a hilarious YouTube video that will have you laughing, and listen to music that you love. And of course, find some satisfying pics online to scroll through!

Colorado is updating its avalanche mitigation systems. We used to use howitzers firing artillery or helicopters dropping explosives to trigger controlled avalanches. Now we are switching to Remote Avalanche Control Systems (RACS) systems. They use propane/oxygen explosions permanently set up in high-risk areas. RACS are safer and more controlled.

Load More Replies...That is amazing. There should be a lawn mowing competition just this lawn could win.
This isn't, or shouldn't be, a flex in 2024. Huge swaths of chemically-maintained monoculture lawn are environmentally damaging. The grass provides nothing for beneficial insects, birds, and small animals. Better to promote diversity with a tapestry lawn that includes wildflowers and clover.

Sunrise Over The Blue Ridge Mountains
This is the view on my commute every morning!!! I drive straight over the blue ridge mountains every single day. About to be back on the road to drive over them again in less than an hour actually. A highlight every day for sure. It's a wonder I haven't sailed off a cliff yet trying to drive and take in all this beauty at the same time.
20 minute cliff off the Blue Ridge Parkway. A favorite spot to stop
I wonder where this is...I live in these Mountains, I wonder where this is, exactly.

My Diet Coke Bubbles (Oc)
Driving To Work At 5am And All The Stop Lights Were Green
Actually, it is very possible. Given that the lights are on sensors, and that there isn't any cross traffic the lights could in fact stay that way until there is cross traffic. And it is more than likely that is the whole reason that all of those lights are green at the same time.
Load More Replies...Some places prioritize the main road more during off hours. Also satisfying is when synchronized lights actually work. They are timed such that if you are doing the speed limit and leave one when it turns green, each of the following ones turn green right about the time you reach them. It's kind of cool when it works out. I think that is less common now because of modern tech / more sensors lets them use actual traffic patterns to adjust the lights instead of just preset timers.
The man who manages the lights reads BP and you will now get all reds Never say that aloud.

It's pretty much just the USA (and it's empire) that uses MM-DD-YYY date format. The rest of the word uses DD-MM-YYYY.
Togo, Canada, the Caymans, Greenland, South Africa, and Kenya occasionally use MDY without a history of American colonies. The USA mainland doesn't exclusively use it either.

Different angle, lighting, and level of cleanliness accounts for every diffrence in the pictures aside from the logo. That probably came off with the fact that she cleaned it with alcohol. There are more pictures in the OP.
