This video of a woman imitating different objects being crushed by a hydraulic press is truly next level

David Harris. Updated January 15th, 2025

We’ve all seen those videos of different objects being satisfyingly squished by a hydraulic press. We admit that we’ve spent a lot of time ourselves watching candles, sweets and toys being crushed when we really should have been doing housework or admin or being a bit more attentive to our family.

We’re talking about videos like this, of course (shared by Science Girl).

Lovely stuff. But now someone’s taken it to the next level by imitating the objects being crushed via the medium of… interpretive dance?

The person in question is US actor and dancer Smac McCreanor and she’s definitely got talent.

Here she is getting squishy, in a video shared on Twitter by Meme Bastard.

Discourse is overdone. Make more sensory videos or whatever this is in 2025 https://t.co/zFyc6rx9WG

Nicola had a question.

We don’t know – but we can’t either
