it's like a baby sensory video

when a person describes a (normal) video as being a "baby sensory video", what they mean is that the visuals of said video being described are hypnotising, addicting, and enough to put them into a trance-like state.

it's a video you can't lay your eyes off of — a video you can't stop watching. maybe it's because the animation is so smooth, or the colours are bright and eye-catching.
"bro, the video of pure-pure miku dancing to rabbit hole is like a baby sensory video to me."
"these sorting algorithm videos are like baby sensory videos."

It's like yik yak

Used to brush off confusion, correct someone gently, or exit a convo without explaining. If someone misunderstands you, spirals into overthinking, or misses the point, you simply say: “it’s like Yik Yak.”
It’s like saying “never mind”.
"Oh! I didn't know we were supposed to wear red today!"
"Omg babes, it's like yik yak, no worries"
"Okay, thanks I was so nervous"
