calculate , I like YouTube . I watch a lot of videos … you know , for work . Today , I go down a YouTube rabbit hole ofescalator videos . You guessed it : person rides escalator , plastic film it , then we get to enjoy the drive .

The surprising thing about these escalator videos is thatthey relax me so much . get ’s start with one of the smoothest , shot by C.G.P. Greyat Heathrow . I desire to underscore , this is literally just 80 second of a very wearisome escalator ride . There is no music . There is no surprisal . It is just a drive . ( It ’s so slow , people on the adjacent escalator clause skip down the steps as stairs . ) I find this unbelievably console :

And here ’s afive - minute moving stairway drive . ( Technically , a series of escalator , but with attractively smooth transitions between them . ) This isamazing :

correct ? Are you feeling it yet ? Okay , now here ’s an escalator clause in extra - slow power - redeem mode . The video is n’t quite as still , so it ’s not as restful , but there ’s still something special here :

From the citizenry atBoring Slow Motion , here ’s a slow movement escalator . comfort , not irksome . I could watch out this all day . This should be captured in veridical metre ( perhaps without the creepy-crawly sound ) and visualise on my rampart . BEHOLD :

Here ’s a ride up and then down the Dupont Circle escalator ( I have been on this escalator ! It was gravid ! ):

And a beautiful vintage wooden escalator clause at Macy ’s . I wish the color variations in the treads .

Okay , and now a trip up a vintage escalator in Boston , in a vintage video from 1988 . For real number . This is happening , and these bozo are as psyched about escalators as I am . Also note the dude ’s ' eighty sneakers when he hinge on the escalator .

And here ’s what happens when you pour a bag of moldable balls into an moving stairway . Do not judge this at home , because pick up all the balls looks like a real chore :

I judge my point is , when you ’re on an moving staircase , just love the import . If you get to use an escalator every day , treasure it .
