What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

[@Ralph_Wiggum]

Ah, Agent Smith. We finally meet. Normally it’s you watching me on the toilet through my phone.

[@noble6TheReachGod]

Ralph Wiggum I always get the urge to cover my phone camera when I need to shit. That must be why. Take care of your FBI agents, kids. The longer you stay awake, the longer they have to stay awake!

[@Brandon_J]

Crescent Mage omfg, I’m exactly the same. If I’m on my phone whilst on the toilet, I cover the camera, if I’m in my bed doing confidential things then I also cover the camera, I really don’t trust it, and I’m not the kind of guy to say “the government is a lie and they’re all watching us!”

[@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335]

Crescent Mage it's disguisting people use mobiles on the toilet. Just disguisting. Y don't u eat ur shit while ur at it.

[@brickbybrick7432]

What if one wanted to explore the rift lore? But the only way to study the lore is to become immune to asmr so they won't fall asleep during the long hour videos

[@user-nf1yw9jw1p]

Brick By Brick I learned this through watching critical role, only time I can fall asleep to asmr is when I am so tired sleep wants to bite me

That's how it starts... You're just going about your business travelling throughout the Omniverse, then you suddenly encounter a gentleman like this, he puts you to sleep and you wake up in a padded cell at Arkham Sanitarium... Ahh memories.

I really wish that there weren’t FBI agents watching me. I’d rather have some privacy on this piece of technology

I assume this is the agent who was at his desk pushing around an envelope and tasked with infiltrating the Sanitarium to investigate the Professor and his lovely wife Margaret? I have a feeling he will end up as another patient or even a permanent resident of Margaret's Garden. The Professor is too clever to be taken down by the man.

[@michaelscreen6921]

I've known 'the tingle' long before I could put a name to it. Usually to be found while having my hair cut or a serendipitous expression of kindness or warmth toward me. I find it harder to experience the warmth, deep calm and well being but these video's get close. To feel yourself weightless, silent, serene and hardly breathing. The curse of insomnia and anxiety seems to have corroded away my capacity to feel these things anymore?

[@mmg5075]

I love how the category he put is comedy

[@cole8627]

Seems very similar to Dr T's tingle Smith but I'll roll with it for now
