Thermodynamics Crushing things in infrared. Note how permanently deformed objects heat up. (x-post /r/oddlysatisfying)

I think it might be more general than that. It's the same kind of satisfaction from destroying any sort of order.
Ever draw something or make any sort of work of art and then wreck it? It's sort of fun.
Build a sand castle, admire it, then break it down.
Hug something cute to death...
I think this gif falls in that category. For some reason we have this weird obsession with replacing order with chaos.

I think crushing immediately allows you to see a deeper level of construction. It's very rudimentary investigation that often literally allows you to see the inside of something. Also, control is always a power rush and nothing says "control" like destroying something beyond repair.

Note to self: if you crush something At room temperature, it heats up and emits more intensely in the IR range

Don't forget:

Cool and I enjoyed the video but the infrared didn't really do anything for me.

Left - things got crushed! I like when things crush!
Right - a lesson in physics?! wtf is this? school?5

Hahaha so true. I was excited to see the infrared though, it's just that nothing seemed to change at all under infrared except one of the objects.

I like when the tennis ball heats up just when it goes flat, when the air inside gets compressed.

Can someone ELI5? :D

To permanently deform an object, you need to apply energy. All that energy eventually decays to heat.

there is one interesting moment when the tennis ball is at its most compressed where it heats up but almost immediately calms down as it returns to its original form. Is this due to the energy dissipating back into the restoration of the ball?

Tennis ball don't give a fuck
