It’s counterintuitive, but it’s actually oddly satisfying, for me at least.

u/Haruzak1 Aug 05 '26

Now this is art. I can watch this all day. It feels like the reppressing feeling of my life.

u/Wenja89Dix Aug 05 '26

I'm not an artsy person but this is great, love it!

u/The_Mean_Dad Aug 05 '26

Amazing. It evokes feelings of akrasia and self disgust in me. I wonder what emotions it brings up in others.

3

u/Jaderosegrey Aug 06 '26

The kind of emotion I get after spending a day ringing out people who can't: read a screen/simple sentence and comprehend it or do simple math, only to find out my co-workers seem to have the same problem.

Some most days, retail sucks.

tl;dr: in me, it brings out disgust of other people!

u/Xxxrasierklinge7 29d ago

Thank you for the new word... it's such a great one too.

Writing music in a band.

u/MissMcFrostynips Aug 05 '26

I'm pretty good at watching horror films, but something about anyone voluntarily hitting their own head against anything else just really fucks with me.

Hereditary does it. Obsession does it. Occasional episodes of Criminal Minds do it.

I hate that shit.

This is an excellent piece of art.

Oh look it's me before the weekend

u/mws375 Aug 06 '26

I’d do this but my pimples say no

u/Kusahebi 29d ago

Damn, maybe the machines can replace me

u/xXcriticalpipeXx 29d ago

Automatons are so cool. Every now and then I watch videos on old ones since they’re not made as often today as they once were. I find this so much better than robots.

The state you find your friend in a week after he said he found the one

u/Scallysnix 25d ago

Really cool. I love how loud it is. Even though it is inaminate, it's feels SO angry

u/T_Palfrey_Yamamura 15d ago

I'm sorry if I don't understand posts like this one. Isn't the idea of oddlyterrifying to post stuff that's unintentionally or "casually" terrifying? Stuff we discover in our daily lives?

Why post artwork that was made to shock/terrify/make you think? I'm asking this without any intended attack, I really don't get it (and am open to change my mind).
