    My Hotel Room Cleaner Made Me A Towel Animal, And Over The Next Weeks He Left Them There Until It Became A Towel Zoo

    Plush towel animals arranged on chairs and floor by a window, showcasing wholesome internet moments and positive online creativity.

    I was staying in the Hilton hotel in Riyadh for several weeks for work, and my hotel room cleaner from Nepal left me a towel animal. I left him a note asking if he could leave it there the next time he cleaned my room, and he did. And over several weeks the collection kept growing until the day I checked out. Such a nice highlight to my extended stay and I left him a little hamper of snacks and a tip to say thank you (there was actually at least six more animals he made but they slowly lost their shape over time).

    Did you know that it has been proven that people are more likely to share bad news online than positive stories? This is because when something’s shocking, unbelievable, or depressing, it automatically feels more “share-worthy,” and is bound to spread faster than warm and fuzzy content.

    There’s actually a science behind why we find ourselves on social media for hours on end, and a lot of it comes down to doomscrolling. Recognized as a compulsive habit, this behavior is often motivated by an intense urge to feel safer and more in control by constantly staying in the know. Over time, doomscrolling can cause more anxiety, stress, and even make us feel more depressed than usual.
