Take a look. 

The video, which was first spotted by the Daily Dot, is from YouTube's "Wryfield Lab," a channel devoted to slow-motion videos shown in reverse, or "reverse therapy." As weird as it sounds, watching the knife slowly reassemble the tomatoes oddly calming.

The video falls into the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) genre. ASMR videos are designed to elicit strong, often tingly, sensations in viewers. Some people have even called these responses to ASMR videos "brain orgasms." You can read more about those here
