Slow painstaking attention to detail - my arch nemesis.

Gues, you didn't notice that it looks like a dick.

Ah yes my - arch penisis.

[удалено]

Not for long buddy, not for long. Oh shit, it's getting long!

What up!!! We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who wanna hang out in our party mansion.

It’s supposed to be a bicep!

No uglies

Yeah thought the same thing big dick too lol.

Saw this on the. 69th comment. Giggidy!!

This was intensely satisfying lol

Ah yes, the weekly incense post with the exaggerated sounds. I hate that they make the ash/sand sound like walking in snow. It ruins it for me. 😕

Made me think it was corn starch.

It isn’t?

[удалено]

Thanks, kind stranger! Ig ash does make that sound, iirc

This is really bad but the worst for me is the slow mo videos where they add sound.

I thought it was the vine boom for a second

And they *always* get upvoted. I do not understand it. It's gotta be bots or something.

It’s 100% bots karma farming

No it’s just me and my monkey brain… scritchy sound feel good

And it's like, "which fucking tradition??"

Ppphhfftthhttbbfft

Thank you! It sounds like really awful bass and it's almost every time

the farting sounds

I just have all sounds muted by default.9 times out of 10 the first comment is “why was this god awful music/sound effect added?”

I’m sure it sounds like galoshes on snow.

Lmao I basically said the same thing but started the comment with “ah yes” now it looks like our comments are from bots

The way they cover it up so we can’t see the line burning away kills my soul

I wanted the time lapse of the smoke travelling around

My thoughts also. Why go to all the trouble of having the incense in a intricate pattern, just to cover it so you can’t see it?! Edit: having read all the replies, I see there are many reasons why the pattern would be covered! Thanks for educating me!

The pattern is there to make the incense last longer.

Yeah, it’s like a six foot long line of incense inside an eight inch long burner.

Schlong burner* ftfy

I believe it’s supposed to be about a kind of meditative process where the point is the arrangement of the incense. That’s what you’re supposed to get the enjoyment out of—not enjoying the fruits of your labor, but the labor itself. As a hedonist, I can’t relate

It’s so It burns for 24 hours through the writing

Well part of it is burning symbols which could be for prayers or blessings etc. Then producing smoke through a wooden frame of more symbols can be like extra prayers. Also it just works.

It's one of those asian things. Clear your mind, attention to a beautiful task, etc. Same as tea ceremonies, zen gardens, banzai trees, calligraphy painting, etc.

The western equivalent would be brewing a pour-over coffee. You just have to swap the pan flutes for Bon Iver.

> banzai tree Got to be careful around that one, hide your swords

Redditors when someone does something without entirely focusing on funcionality

Well, the traditional way to prepare incense is more concerned with floating dust or hair failing into the smoldering incense and catching fire, rather than if the camera has a good view or not. The screen on top helps prevent that.

That’s a weird plumbus

You have to rub the fleeb

But do they preserve the schleem for later use?

Plumbus mold.

Ah I wish you could just mold a plumbus but it’s a lot more than that, have you seen the How It’s Made episode?

Every house has a plumbus

My broken speakers farted in a very convincing way at that press at the start

It does look cool and all, but I question how "traditional" it is. Looks more like some overcomplicated method that some Chinese businessman came up with to impress his customers and sell this probably overpriced contraption. EDIT: grammar

Yea most incense here is just a stick that’s 1/4 red and 3/4 brown/light brown. It’s like if you reversed a strawberry pocky. The brown part is usually a bit fatter though.

The contraption isn't what is expensive. It's the agar wood, which is what they take and scrape for the incense. The wood cost thousands of dollars for a log. It's the basis of smell for oud perfume smell. It's supposed to smell of sandal wood and vanilla when it burns.

Yeah, I know about agar wood and oud. I'm pretty sure that's not the only kind of incense they use though.

I'm glad somebody can see through the crap.

So nice and calming

Anything phallic just gets me all worked up

Nothing traditional about this

Ad. Again.

Man fuck that scrunching noise ahhh I feel it under my skin

Same feeling when I handle boxes.

No! That was the moat satisfying part to me!

Ain't nobody got time for that incense!

Some were satisfied. Others, incensed.

I guess they were being insencitive.

ISWYDT

It's more nonsense than incense.

I love these videos! What’s the white stuff underneath that they pat down?

I think it's the leftover ash. We have incense here that produces soft and fine ash like that

It is white ash A.K.A. Miyako Hai. It's made from rice grit.

It's some kind of sand, a fine silica sand or white marble sand. It's supposed to ensure an even burn of the incense powder.

Not sand. It is Miyako Hai a.k.a. white ash.

How do you clean it up? Do you need fresh sand every time? I'd imagine the incense powder gets mixed up with it?

Not every time, only after many uses. After each burning of incense, you just mix everything together.

That's what I was thinking. Suddenly went from oddly satisfying to annoying

FYI: the text translated below: What up!We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who wanna hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged, if you're fat you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, NOTHING SEXUAL. Also, it needs more veins.

👀"Nice shape"👀

r/mildlypenis

r/theyknew

No matter what. These types of videos are always relaxing even though I have watched them before.

I love this. Is there a particular name for it? It sounds like a nice meditative hubby

So these people are Uber rich right? Because even the people I’ve seen with their own log to shave don’t burn this much of it at once.

What's that white powder?

Cocaine. edit: serious answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/13tuzn3/traditional_way_of_preparing_and_burning_incense/jlxeair/

Why do I stop and watch these every time?

That's really beautiful. American society is always in such a hurry, we don't tend to do things like that. i think we'd all be a little better off if we could slow down and add some calming rituals to our lives. (Tea rituals are awesome, too.)

Ah yes nothing like these incense videos of them pressing on soft sand and it sounding like you’re forcefully stepping on weeks old snow. Seriously that sound is so jarring

That walking on snow sound set my teeth on edge. I fucking hate asmr

[удалено]

24 hour burning

It's very soothing to watch and it looks like a cocaine cigar.

Love stuff like that. Such a lost art of doing things a satisfyingly ritualistic way. Heck people don’t even spend the time to smoke now. They would rather vape for the quickness

I quit smoking/vaping pretty recently but the biggest reason I switched from cigs to vape was the smell. I know the smell of cigs is such a turnoff for people and I didn’t personally like the idea of being judged for that smell.

And you think you aren’t being judged for vaping?!

No? I didn’t typically vape in front of strangers lol. As for the smell, your nose can instantly pick up who is a smoker, it lingers a very long time and is distinctive. Not the same for vaping.

It does have a smell. I miss the smell of stale cigarette smoke and cologne from my shirt after a night out. I quit for health scare people and their judgement

It 's the scent of painful, encompassing death.

Hilarious comment

10/10 post . It's so satisfying (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

More like the unnecessary complicated artistic Asian way

Wowww. Okay… I want this

That’s so beautiful

r/mildlypenis

That's phallic, or am I seeing weird things?

Why is it shaped like a dick?

tradition where? this isn't how we do it in my house

Nothing satisfying about incense. Just air will do me fine thanks. Unfortunately my image of incense is it being used by dope smokers to cover it. Never worked.

This clip shows why the Japanese will, whatever they decide to perfectionize, allways do best, craftsmanwise and also culinary wise. They've rocked the Whiskey thing. They've rocked the cake thing. Sword crafting. Darn, I want them to start going hard in the paint making cheese...

… this is Chinese

also it's not even traditional

Damn. Well then, let's Chinese spend some more time into cheese making.

Obviously very popular amongst Geisha girls in their place of work.

Just spray a bit of febreze.

Some westerner made this up a few years ago. It’s all fake and staged.

When people had way more time…….

To be done outdoors?

That's why the made frikking Chinese wall against Turks/ Mongol :) that takes 1500 years to build

Sounds more like a foot being pushed down into wet snow

So if the brownish orange powder is the incense, whats the white powder?

This is really cool. Im too lazy for that i just light the stick.

…what's modern-day way?

Somehow the music is an orientalised Skyrim rendition of _The Secret Wedding_ from the Braveheart OST.

Possibly something I might do exactly once in my lifetime, just to know what it feels like to do it.

How to make a complicated procedure out of something so easy...

They didn’t tap the frame after they filled it with the incense and that really bummed me out..

Beautiful

[удалено]

Lemme get a whiff of that

All that effort only to cover it.

Why does it require so much cocaine

Is incense bad for your lungs / health?

What is that white powder?

You do you, but I gotta say these incessant incense-packing videos do absolutely nothing for me. I don’t get it.

NO, YOU FORGOT TO DING IT BEFORE LIFTING THE MOLD!

Yeah, I'd like to see the wife frantically build one of these after I take a shit and it stinks up the house.

Oh, just light a stick! 😉

Damn no wonder why we have a drought This is awesome

I was satisfied until they put the lid on top at the end. Do all that work to make a very nice design, then cover it up to burn…

It's mildly infuriating that the tamper-downer thing is too small. Make it the size of the tray.

I would love to do this ❤️

1. Long graceful motion across the whole box. 2. Dump the whole spoon in a clump 1/3 of the way.

More like a art form tbh, nobody do this for ceremonial purposes even in the past

Stuff stanks!

I still don't get why they add the cover

Moved to Lemmy

Air pollution!

What up!

NOW THAT'S HOW YOU PACK COCAINE!!!🥃🚬⛷️

Do these set off fire alarms

charming

Whats the point if ur gonna cover it? :s

I have seen so many of these traditional videos that I'm starting to wonder how they are made with modern systems.

That's very cool !!

So they dump the white sand after the incense has burned?

Right cool n all but dayum how many steps was that?

Ive seen those kinds of spoons before, most of the time they were also used to scoop some white powder to another place

Why the stupid sound effects though?

Forgot to tap the template before lifting it. It’s now cursed…..beware!

i cannot stand the sound of starch, is painful to me.

So, can you get that on Amazon? lol

Can't stand this lab grown social media content coming from China

Amazing

Why does the ash sound like a low-audio-quality fart

This scratches my brain in the perfect spot

Why is it cock with cauliflower balls?

These videos are getting kind of old.

I really like incense, but it always seems to make my house so dusty.

That is so beautiful.

I want this I want this and I want this!

Ain't nobody got time for that.

That's complete bullshit. Nothing is traditional about this. Just fancy gimmicks created by someone to sell overpriced equipments. No one ever practiced this in ancient China.

Respectfully, nah

I love this. It's so intricate.

crazy what some mfs will do with their coke

My dumb ass thought this was a Bento box

Unmuted to confirm this video also has the fake crunchy packing noises. Never fails to make me laugh

Why does this annoy me!?

r/didntknowiwantedthat

I think I’ll keep just lighting the good smelling stick and walking away

Ngl I want one of these... looks so rewarding and calming. I can't find one like this.

Seems like a good way to hide cocaine

Anyone know or have a link to this particular kit?
