Watching Legos Get Crushed by a Hydraulic Press Is Exactly What You Need Today

Are you a fan of watching oddly satisfying things? If so, you're going to love the latest (and weirdest trend): watching a hydraulic press crush items. A hydraulic press is a simple machine used to either crush or mold objects. It's not a machine you commonly see in a household, which is probably why the Hydraulic Press Channel on YouTube is so popular. The channel posts a weekly video showing a hydraulic press crushing anything. Our favorites so far include Barbie, an alarm clock, a camera, and Legos (which you can see in the video above). Even the White House is a fan, seeing as its Facebook page posted one of the channel's videos of a cable box being crushed. If you do anything at all today, watch the video above and see your favorite Lego toys turn into barely anything — you might even empathize with one of the Legos trying to escape.
