What can't you turn off?

I have to watch every single rug cleaning video that appears on my timeline. I can't help it.

I just can't turn it off or keep scrolling. I find them so satisfying. The rugs are filthy (and how do they get so filthy?) and after lots of high powered jet washing and cleaning foam, they're back to how they should be.

If they're on my steam, I have to watch right until the end before I can move on.

What type of clip is your crack?

Girls doing clicky nails videos. Or the 9-5 of a corporate girly. Thankfully my algorithm has filtered them out now. Because I find them strangely mesmerising!

i saw a speeded up garden cleaning video - it was addicted

OhDorWheresthesalad · 13/09/2025 06:55

I was going to say my inner monologue and tinnitus, but given the OP, I agree with you, I love a rug cleaning video. Also, a shit film. I really struggle to not watch to the end then complain bitterly about the waste of my time.

What is a clicky nail video? Or is it best I don't know, as I'll get addicted to those too?

Lots of product displays where they tap their long nails on the packaging, or manicure / hand care videos. I both love and hate them.

Also like a good speeded-up cleaning video

This was me for a while. My online activity increased for a few weeks then I must have exhausted all the content as I hardly see them at all now 😂

Restock videos

Clumsycorvid · 13/09/2025 08:02

Ugh. Classic cat videos and parrots copying noises!

MaryBeardsShoes · 13/09/2025 08:03

There’s a woman who shows her kids packed lunch and then what he ate. He only ever eats the processed shite, none of the healthy veg and then when he gets home he has an ice cream if he didn’t eat it all. I can’t stop watching even though I hate it. I’ve had to block her but they still show up.

Jet washing videos!

Wedding dress try ons. I am not getting married again all being well. Nor do I know anyone that is.

I love these!

fungibletoken · 13/09/2025 08:11

Oooh yes, OP. Love a bit of rug cleaning. See also: jet/power washing (e.g. mossy patios or swimming pools) and car detailing. You're welcome 😁

OhNoNotSusan · 13/09/2025 08:28

and there is a man i follow that pretends to run like different dogs for example, i like that

NewGirlInTown · 13/09/2025 08:33

There is a little Chinese girl eating her lunch. I don’t know how the IG algorithm put these videos in my feed but I am mesmerised by them.
She has four or five different elements to her lunch and eats everything!

friedaddedchilli · 13/09/2025 08:33

Amazon finds. Truly pathetic, but I’m always hoping there might be something to transform my life. But obviously it’s just a bunch of shite no-one needs.

Gender reveals (for the reactions), Maine Coons, random clips from US hospital dramas.

I'm not going looking for one.

Whoever thought that would be a good thing to make a video of, and knew people would watch it?!
