20 Pictures That Were Satisfying To Look At For Reasons We Can't Explain

This is Shishi-Iwa, or Lion Rock, in Japan. If you capture it at the right time, it looks like the sun (or moon) is being held in its mouth.

If you know anything about Pingu the penguin, it's that it's animated in stop motion. That requires a lot of Pingu heads. Here they are.

This hunk of dragon scale calcite was found in southern Missouri, but it looks more like it was found in the annals of some kind of medieval fantasy.

I really appreciate this miniature city that somebody made almost entirely out of office supplies. The train model (which admittedly isn't an office supply) really completes it.

It's awesome when ice creates a shell around an object, but even more awesome when the shell can be removed completely intact.

This is an egg in the basket, or toad in the hole, which is a tasty breakfast in any context. But something about the presentation here takes it to another level.

This pic of a snowy roof against a wintry sky really captures the essence of wintertime. Even if you hate the cold weather, this pic takes you there.

These are just scoops of flour and sugar, but there's something about the roundness — and even the cracks — that I find super satisfying.

I'm not sure if the water froze this way on its own, or if cracking played a role. Either way, it's pretty satisfying.

I didn't know that your hands could create such a neat and tidy arrow, but I just tried it out for myself.

Sure, they tell you to have a break, but the second you try to snap this bench in half, they call the cops on you.

I'm not sure if this giant sphere of wood is held together by resin or what, but it's fascinating to look at.

Believe it or not, this hunk of seasoned salmon is actually contained in shrink wrap. It's just wrapped up very tightly.

It's pretty cool how this massive flock of birds has congregated in a way that looks like a horse, while horses trot along in the foreground.

I doubt the sculptor intended for this effect, but just look at the way that a bit of frost highlights the contours on this sculpture.

This overhead projector is doing its job in reverse, reflecting the window to the outside on its surface below.

This rock broke in a fairly satisfying way. It almost reminds me of the garlic fingers you might order with a pizza.

Here's a double rainbow that appears in someone's shower in the mornings. Anyone remember the double rainbow guy? Just me?
