If you need a few moments to unwind, this video of a sharp knife “unchopping” a tomato is surprisingly calming.

It’s made by Wryfield Lab and it’s a new style of film emerging that taps into a phenomenon called self-reliant sensory meridian reaction (ASMR). 

Those who feel it report it being accompanied by feelings of relaxation and well-being.
