"Uproot Excavator" is a YouTube channel devoted entirely to one thing: tree stumps being yanked out of the ground by heavy equipment.
The arm of the excavator, fitted with a pincer-like attachment, clamps onto a stump, rips it out along with a massive clump of roots that must weigh serveral hundred pounds, shakes the dirt loose, and sets the whole thing aside next to a fresh crater in the earth.
That's it.
Hundreds of short videos, all basically variations on the same removal theme, over and over and over.
I find it weirdly hypnotic and deeply satisfying to watch.

It occurs to me this is kind of a violent variation on an ASMR theme.
