If you’re in need of something to totally mesmerise and chill you out, this video of a lemon rolling down a hill should do just the trick.
The video was posted by podcaster, photographer and writer Mike Sakasegawa who is based in San Diego.
He captioned the video, which has so far been shared approximately 18,000 times (at the time of writing) and has 62,000 likes, as follows: “Today as I was walking home after my run I saw a large lemon rolling down the hill. It kept rolling for about a quarter mile. And now you can see it, too.”
The video, which has been viewed over a million times, lasts for around two fascinating, blissful minutes:

If you’re wondering about the fate of the lemon, Mike was kind enough to post updates letting tweeters know that he had brought it home, given it a wash and now it sits proudly, curiously in his kitchen.
I felt bad about leaving the large lemon in the gutter so I went back, retrieved it, took it home, and washed it off. pic.twitter.com/iqWxuQuCiL

I’m sorry I can’t respond to everyone individually. Just to answer a couple questions that have been asked a bunch: the lemon stopped rolling because we got to the bottom of the hill. The lemon is still intact, in my kitchen, and I don’t know what I’m going to do with it yet.

People have been alternately soothed, uplifted and baffled having watched the video.
This has simultaneously been the most peaceful and stressful part of my day.

Why did I just spend nearly 2 minutes watching a fruit roll? I could have stopped at any time.
But I didn't.
WHY?
