Freeing my Truck of thick ice from last night's storm using a rubber mallet. ASMR sounds!

After my truck was coating in thick ice I used a rubber mallet to free it. It's like ASMR for the eyes. Filmed with a GoPro 8, you can own your own at amzn.to/3erNx5E
ASMR is a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound.
Some posts about this video-
Bost - This is a whole 'another level of satisfying.
Evan Ferguson - Very satisfying to watch!
Haron Hezeki- Lets all accept its soo satisficing
Jain Animesh- Why the hell does this feel so satisfying?
Carla Edwards- When I watched this video my head felt weird, it happens only to me. when I watch something super satisfying my head or neck feels tingly.

Update June 2023. How this all happened.
It's weird how this random video caused so much attention! It wasn't planned it was just spontaneous. We had just suffered the hardest ice storm in recent memory causing power outages for our whole western valley not just our city, Oregon City. With many trees down with many power poles down it was bad bad. One the 4rd day the temperature started raising above freezing which caused the thick coat on my SUV to start to detach from it's body. I needed to use this SUV so started hitting it with my fist which cracked and simply fell to the ground which was sort of cool. I grabbed my GoPro and a rubber hammer and started pounding away. The rest is history!

A worse hazard if you dont clean the ice (or snow) off the roof of your vehicle is that as your driving it can fall off and collide with the windshield of the person behind you. This can block their vision or even break through their windshield.

We got out early because hardly anyone showed up. That weekend, we went out to dinner for my mom's birthday, and I had to scrape off so much ice from my car. Huge sheets about half an inch thick. Good times
