We all know that fidget spinners are the most satisfying gadgets in the entire world. There is nothing more rewarding than holding a fidget spinner and flicking it till it spins smoothly in your hand.
Or is there?
Well, yes, actually, there is. There are heaps of activities that are even more satisfying than fidget spinners, and you probably have most of the elements at home already.
A manual sharpener is pleasant. An electric sharpener is sublime.
It is deeply absorbing when you're trying, and absolutely exhilarating when you've succeeded.
That fizz is heaven.
And if you don't need the pages stapled together, you can unpick them. That's satisfying too.
Need I say more?
This is excellent on both the physical and spiritual levels.
From your eyebrows. From your bikini line. From your chin. From other people's chins. Anywhere, really.
Just be careful you don't get carried away and leave holes.
It's stress relief and cooking, all in one!
Sometimes it's even worth blowing them out just to light them again.
So rare. So satisfying.
And then emptying your Deleted file. Ecstasy.
And then examining all the goop that came out of your face.
It's tricky, but it's a skill worth mastering.
Squishing spuds is as soothing as eating them.
It may be bad for the nails, but it is excellent for the soul.
Bonus satisfaction when you swipe left on men posing with a motorbike or sedated tiger.
Because god forbid you leave some grains behind when you tip them into your tea.
Watching the flakes of dead skin fall to the floor is pure bliss.
Even better when someone else is watching.
The nails may be tiny but the sense of fulfilment is great.
We all have one. The perfect thickness. The perfect depth. The perfect weight. The perfect drink.
With fists is good. With feet is better.
Getting to that perfect straight line is weirdly rewarding.
Undoubtedly the greatest feeling in the world.
Second-hand clothing can be a reservoir for many potentially dangerous microbes.
