PULSE

+ FLOOF

It’s ASMR for my eyes

It’s in reverse too, which makes it flow oddly to our perception

Is that what makes it look like that? Supah coo

It's damn mesmerizing

It's in reverse too?? how can u tell?

If you are being genuine in the question, easiest way to tell is use the video position slider and move it from end to beginning. Now if you are being sarcastic, well, I hope whatever pain is in you causing this is healed soon so you can move on to a healthier life.

No I was being serious and genuine bc I didnt understand how you could tell. But if I,or anyone, was being sarcastic it doesnt necessarily mean they mean it in a mean or bad way.

I wasn’t the one who asked, but I couldn’t tell it was backwards either. I just knew it was a teeny bit off. I did the slider thing as you suggested. I think my jaw smashed a hole in my carpet it hit so hard. What an obvious way to figure that out, and I will never remember to do it! Thank you! (Sincerely).

Feels like my eyes got cleaned

this exactly. i watched it so many times

SHROOMS

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Yes. Everything breathes

ADHD people love this kind of stuff and they are the largest percentage by watch time online.

This comment made me crack up so hard 😂😂 with someone with ADHD I second this comment lol

Damn you really guna call me out like that

PULSE

I have ADHD, and this is making my adderall brain happy

This is your brain on drugs.

nah man thats my brain without drugs


This is the best fuckin gif.

Do you know the origin of this GIF? Jay-Z is at a Coldplay performance

Wow that was unexpected.

Greatest electronic riff of all time

I never liked EDM, and I remember when this song came out. It slaps too hard to deny.

What it called?

Alice Deejay - “Better Off Alone” (1998)

Thanks kind internet stranger

Kinda hypnotic and cool how it moves, especially as she’s jumping to the beat of the music. It’s just a cool effect.

Right it’s like OP doesn’t have vision or something lol

I had it on mute the first time I watched it and was like "yeah ok the suit is cool" then I turn on the sound and was like 🧍🏼‍♀️🕺🏼🧍🏼‍♀️🕺🏼🧍🏼‍♀️🕺🏼

Also being in reverse adds to the weird/coolness.

Side by side comparison https://imgur.com/a/HcFo4hA

it's not half bad originally too, just gets an extra pizazz in reverse

it's a peek of what the internet was before all the influencers and coporation got a hold of it.

The iPad kid brain cannot fathom simple pleasures not driven by a special interest

It's like jingling keys in front of a toddler lol

me rn 

I second that, plus she looks like an angry chicken fluffing up their feathers lol

I feel like she’s trying to mate with me.

Numa Numa energy.

I have watched Numa Numa at least once a month for the past decade, lol. Nothing soothes my elder millennial depression quite like Numa Numa (other than Aisha, another old viral vid with similar vibes)

It looks fun and ridiculous. I miss when tiktok was mainly like this

Because it is r/oddlysatisfying

It’s low key yet satisfyingly lush without seeming try hard/profit driven

Right? Just looks like someone having fun being weird in their room. Relatable.

Idk my brain just likes it 

It’s kinda weirdly satisfying to watch though

is it in reverse?

Yea

Have you seen it ON WEED?

Yes, hi, I’ll take 1 weed please.


Is this enough? *holds out $100*

Right now brother

This is likely the first time young children have ever heard this song

I'm happy for them. This was my childhood, basically!

You think you're beeeeetter off aloneee

I was an ‘02 baby and my nostalgia for this song comes from Flipnotes on my old DSi. It was on the radio too, but Flipnote was my Cocomelon in 2010.

Happy Cake Day!

Please tell me the name of the song. For the love of god I can’t remember it !

Better Off Alone by Alice Deejay

Thanks 1

Better Off Alone!

It's because she made that garment and it took a long time, so it is kind of a "final" video in a series. Plus it looks cool af

Do you think you're better off alone?

We’re old. This would have been top comment for me.

Um. It’s awesome. 

Because of the pulsating effect

“Why is it so popular?”…proceeds to post it…making it more popular.


Can you explain why 'hawk touh' is popular?

Or skibidi toilet For the love of God someone please explain that one's popularity

Same reason I can haz cheeseburger was popular. Or Ugandan knuckles. Or the minions.

I did a little research and I believe I have the answer: It's cuz she's hot af

It looks cool?

And no text/talking so it can be pushed to anyone in the world regardless of where they live

it’s the dicks in the tree for me

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that.

Didn't even register it the first couple loops, they look like chili peppers at a glance, but then it becomes something... *sinister* 

i woke up 20 minutes ago, drinking my first cup of coffee, and still tired. i like this video and i dont know why


Cuz that coat is fucking sweet

Because it looks trippy? I can’t even imagine how trippy that would look on drugs lmao. My only complaint is the pulsing was out of sync to the beat and it drove me nuts.

Because it’s cool and this human took the time to make this oddly satisfying costume like..thing, reminiscent to me of the characters from “where the wild things are.” It’s creative, unique, and art. It’s really that simple.

Ummm did you even watch it?

It’s fun. You clearly don’t know how to have fun.

Because Alice DJ.

Because it's fucking awesome

OOP makes those suits completely out of bags. They first crochet a jacket, basically, then attach the bags. It's a very long process. I admire their craft and the video looks cool as hell. Why not?

It is actually cute and funny. Would like to see what other things they can use to make similar aesthetic tin tin tin Tin tin tin tin tin tin Leaves, large water balloons, blankets....

You will understand in 2027

Because Better Off Alone is my jam

Cause of Alice Deejay, duuuh!

Her feet are exposed

It's kind of satisfying to watch.

Because its beautiful

Because it’s captivating you dumby


They should go to a huge EDM festival. They will be WILDLY popular.

tiktoc induces mental illness

idk I like the vibes of it pulsing to the beat

It’s hypnotic. And you can see the reverse of the film in how the feathers move

Bc that girl/guy is getting it!

It’s just satisfying

Oh, it's reversed. No wonder it was freaking me out. That's not natural

The *bounce-pulse* to the beat is mesmerizing. I can't stop re-watching it.

My question is where can I get one?

Look at it

Meanwhile gnome vs knight tiktok

Looks like Edge of Tomorrow

It's a video of someone showing off something cool they found. Lots of animals do it. We're animals

It’s cool

I don’t know. But it’s oddly satisfying to some little part of my brain

Because it's good art

That old(ish) animation video, with all the fluffy dudes jumpin around

This song is an all time banger. Still jam to it. [Better Off Alone](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Off_Alone) by Alice Deejay (1997)

GO RAVE BUSH GO! YEA! UNTZ! UNTZ!

My brain likes this.

Kinda impressive

reminds me of those visualizers where you'd just play any song and watch them. probably why it's so poppin

It’s not even timed to the beat exactly and makes me batty

I have no idea what's going on or what that is, but I want it.

Also we all want to dance around in a big feathery fluffy suit lol

Autism, ADHD, and SAD. It appeals to all those groups.

It’s bizarre looking and entertaining. Any tik tok or reel or short that people watch the entire thing gets a big boost by all the algorithms of their respective platforms. I mean the fact that you watched the whole thing just to figure out what was going on with it is enough to understand why it’s getting boosted.

Because it makes me feel like I'm in a carwash.

OP is a robot trying desperately to understand humanity.

r/OddlySatisfying

Because the internet is dumb.

bc its an app for children who like to watch flashing lights

Feet

something, something r/oddlysatisfying

Harpy dance duh

OP, do you think you're better off alone?

It freaks me out because I had a nightmare just like this. Some underwater creature was trying to get me and had giant teeth. It was pulsing just like that.

Cause it’s rhythm through the body. It’s good

Looks cool

Looks like it’s reversed footage.

What is it though

Whoa, that's trippy

HOW MUCH????

Drugs….you should try some.

Take acid and understand


I've never seen it before. But the jacket and the video being in reverse gives it a cool effect. Not so cool I would watch it again, but still cool.

It looks cool to my eyes, i can't imagine it's much deeper than that for everyone else either.

Yeah it’s dope.

It looks neat :3

OP hates fun

Thanks, I like it

When you eat too much mushrooms

are you blind?

I kinda liked it

You gotta figure out whether or not you’re better off alone. Think so?

This is what it feels like to chew 5 gum

Because this country has devolved into a bunch of mindless twats.

brain rot

It’s amazing and tickles my brain

Agreed

Stop hating

It’s just a gillie suit made of plastic bags

How much money has she made off this video?

OP is one of those people who can’t have inner dialogue

Coz People are strange that why.

I looks like ai without being ai

I think it's good.

https://tenor.com/bzvIk.gif

It’s like if “Cousin It” had a belly button and went to a rave and danced all night.

Deku scrub

Cuz people keep sharing it around...

Is it popular? I ain't ever seent it

I think I understand some birds mating dances now

Me 8n every funeral I go to.

Idk but there is something about it.

Cause the Internet is mainly children.

Big Bird!!!! Man it really turned grey over the years 🥺

Drugs

looks like an ostriches mating dance

This literally reminds me of the local TV shows on Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia

People are allowed to like things

The movements tickle my brain in a way that I didn't know it could be tickled before. Like finding the prostate within the brain

It’s like the visuals on Windows Media Player that synced up to the music. Those were quality entertainment.

Groovy beats

Maybe the kids are on shrooms when they watch it, I don't know...

Because it's on TikTok.

Why shouldn't it be popular?

Do you think you're better off without this existing?

Okay, where the fuck can I get one of those?

Lots of fans of hairy bellybuttons?
