What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to 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.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

12:50 well, I'd say my favourite toe(s) would be my two big toes, since they're the ones doing a lot of the work of holding me up, although it's quite a close race, because without the rest of my toes I'd still probably fall over every two steps, plus, my smallest toes are just kinda cute compared to the rest of the other ones, because the rest are just awkwardly long (I'm exaggerating just for comedic effect, I'm not actually insulting my own toes), another thing is that even though I say my favourite toes are my two big toes then i don't really show it, because lately they've been taking a beating because the little black rubber thingies on the rugby field I play on get into my shoes and burn the top layer of the skin on these two toes (mainly), so really, honestly, I couldn't say, it really is one of the toughest questions I've been ever asked.

Hey, I just checked out your Liquid Shaking video. It's not bad at all! I like the sounds a lot and you seem confident. One thing I noticed is the "popping" effect from your voice/breathing. You might want to consider a pop filter for your microphone. You're definitely the youngest ASMR creator I've seen. Honestly this might turn some people away, but I encourage you to keep going! Have fun. And ignore any trolls who try to mess with you.

Don’t move or blink for 34 minuted and 6 seconds if you’re being held hostage!
Make a video labeled "First time ASMR" and its just the mannequin in front of a camera alone for 20 minutes while you made noises with tinfoil, cardboard, and rubber really slow off screen. And if you really want to make it good, make the camera slowly pan in towards the mannequin's face as the video progresses.
These are the questions that got me out of a darker time in my life a couple years ago, there's still one I haven't figured out though; is it really possible for humans to live without ketchup and mustard 🤔🤔🤔

To be honest, the thought of not having an afterlife had always bothered me, especially if I died an early death, but then when I sort of began to believe that humanity's purpose in life was to make some form of difference, I realised that in my death, regardless of how small it would be, I would still be doing the same thing I lived for. And one of my teachers in high school said that we live to die, and for some people that is haunting, but it's the idea that we should work to have no regrets in death, to do all we have to do in life so we can move on.

Whoever did the subtitles, you're a legend
It is my belief that life is meaningless, but rather than that being frightening or depressing I find it liberating. If life has no inherent meaning or purpose, if nothing has any inherent value, the the only value and purpose that remain are what we humans ascribe to things. This leaves us all the architects of our own reality, the masters of our own morality. What you think is important, is. And what you don't, isn't. And so we give our own lives meaning by doing the things we love, and needn't worry about our purpose ever again for it is intertwined with our very desires. Also this point of view means I get to be a lazy piece of shit so long as it pleases me to do so, which clearly makes it the superior philosophy.

Dear Mr. Rift. After seeing you give us a little peak into Margaret's character i have given a little thought into taking your world of Arkham and writing a story about it, obviously with my own twists on it. But i first wanted to see if you as the creator of these characters was alright with it. Much love, Jokas.

Finally someone with deep thinking, intelligence and wit.. I really love these type of questions you are presenting...i have a lot to say regarding these subjects...if i was actually sitting there in front of you, we would actually have a very interesting and deep conversation together..like it!
So I decided to try and listen to the video whilst maintaining eye-contact with the associate. It adds a whole new feel to it all. Suffice to say I didn't make it through the whole thing, got far too intense and pretty damn scary. See how you guys do.
A lot of ASMR is very hit or miss for me and repeated watching of the same videos dulls their effects for me but your Question/Interview videos always hit that spot.
Love everything about this, except the questions! It's funny to feel equally relaxed and anxious.
I literally thought 42 right when the meaning of life question came up, Rift beat me to it.
Enters video perfectly relaxed and calmed. Leaves video with a personal crisis and existential angst.
Just we need to say thanks to the existence of someone so talented like you. Good job like allways!
The captions make this video all the more enjoyable. Thats some serious level of detail
this is the q&a i was looking for and it's above my expectations waaaa thank u rift!

Yet another great video from Uncle Rift
Holy shit. This is one of my favorite ASMR videos. Next level. You are a creative genius.
When he asked "what is time?" i was so about to break out into The Tenth Doctor's speech about how people assume it's a series of causes leading to an effect, but however from a non-linear non-subjective standpoint it's a big bowl of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey....stuff.
1:40 who are you underneath it all ... Me: ... I m just a N****a with a rocket launcher
Please make more of these.. Its so unique you cant find it anywhere
I actually use some of these questions as guiding points for my essays in my existential philosophy class lol thanks on behalf of my gpa rift!
Omg that clipboard writing gives me both tingles from the pencil and that feeling from nails on a chalkboard from the clipboard itself...
I don't know what i love so much about questionnaires but they are like my favourite videos along with plastic crinkle ones

I actually have a paper on existentialism coming up, and I think your video helped me understand it a bit better.
Can we plz get more just questionnaire videos? I just love the pencil sounds + answering obscure questions
"Why are you here?" Y'know, that's always something I've wondered. Hell, sometimes I turn to my friend and ask, "Hey, you ever wonder why we're here?" He usually goes on some long-winded response about how it's one of life's greatest mysteries. Even considers there could be a plan for us and stuff.

HyperHunt621 I always believed that we are here to live; nothing more and nothing less. Living is something that can't be explained and is very much essential to humanity, the only thing essential if you were, and yet we have no factual idea on how we came to be. So I believe that we aren't meant to know and instead we are only here to enjoy life and not understand it.

Why did the chicken cross the road? The age old question that has a dark and mysterious answer. So you see, the chicken obviously crossed the road to get to the other side right? Well seeing as chickens don't tend to be near roads, and certainly don't cross roads terribly often this is a peculiar statement. However when taken as a metaphor, its dark origins are revealed. A chicken is analogous to a coward. Now we come to the crossing the road part, which is strange, but oddly not very metaphoric, but we'll come back to that. And lastly, the other side is frequently referred to as an euphemism for the afterlife. So what we come up with is that the coward crossed the road to reach the afterlife. This literally means that it is a cowardly thing to run into traffic looking to be run over and killed. This was a saying popularized to associate suicide with cowardice. - Terribly sorry if i just ruined your day.
Thank you for making this.
Your regular voice for these videos are way better 😭
This is the only ASMR content that I actually find relaxing, weird, and cool, all in one package. The Gordon Freeman video was also very good. 10/10 nothing like it

So like I’m gonna just spill all the beans here. I’m a very lonely person. I have nobody in my life that I feel comfortable around to even just tell them about my day. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I think I just annoy people, or don’t open up enough or something, so no one really stays in my life or has grown close. but I’ve been watching ASMR for 8 years and whenever I turn on one of ER’s videos I feel like I’m with a real friend… someone who’s always been there through all the years and who I feel comfortable with because I’ve learned his quirks and I know he’s not here to threaten me in anyway because he is genuinely a good person with a creative and intelligent mind like no other… thank you Rift for being my friend and I know you don’t know me but it’s always really comforting to have you around on those nights when I have nobody to turn to
I just like that the art is hung upside down.
