It feels good to do good, so people find numerous ways to help others and spread kindness. Some, though, turn to somewhat unconventional ways to accomplish their good deeds, which results in what can only be called ‘Chaotic Good’.
Unsurprisingly, there’s an entire community dedicated to such instances, which has amassed over 200k members already. We have found some of the best examples of how wholesome they can be, shared by the ‘Chaotic Good’ subreddit, so scroll down to find them on the list below and make sure to upvote your favorites.

Created 15 years ago, the subreddit is dedicated to examples of chaotic good actions, which have attracted over 217k members already. The instances cover everything from fighting hate groups in the most inventive ways possible to supporting others through tough times, reviving people’s faith in humanity one post at a time.
Such somewhat altruistic behavior encourages people to believe in the kindness of others; and the majority of them do. A survey of adults in the US revealed that as many as 83% of them believe that humans are inherently good. Another one reported that the number was as high as 81%, adding that nearly half of the surveyed, though, consider themselves “better” than everyone else they know.

A Very Effective Method Indeed
There is also a company out there that is working on '3D printing' rhino horns. They are made out of the same stuff, but ridiculously cheap. The idea is to flood the market with fakes that are completely indistinguishable from natural ones that are extremely low cost. It would tank the prices and make poaching no longer profitable. Because no amount of deterrents will stop someone, but if there is no money in it the business will stop.
Some of the actions in the pictures shared by ‘Chaotic Good’ could be considered expressions of altruism, the level of which, according to some scholars, might vary depending on the individual’s brain.
Research suggests that people who express strong altruistic behavior have a more active—and sometimes even larger—right amygdala, which is responsible for the way we feel and perceive emotions in others; fear especially. That’s why it’s arguably safe to assume that the level of altruism is tied to people’s neurologically driven ability to perceive and empathize with others’ fears and vulnerabilities.

The research also suggests that altruism is ingrained in live beings at an evolutionary level. It is believed that in its basic form, altruism helped preserve species by members helping each other.
It pointed out that it can be witnessed not only among people, but in the animal kingdom as well; for example, among worker bees that “choose feeding the hive’s young over reproducing” or ravens that alert others of their species of a food supply they all can share.

When it comes to people, their level of altruistic tendencies often depends on certain factors, such as age and social proximity of the other person, as well as the nature of what is being sacrificed in order to help others.
A 2017 study revealed that people feel less altruistic sentiment to those who are more socially distant; for instance, they might not help a stranger, but they would a relative in a similar situation. It also suggested that individuals tend to feel more health altruistic towards young kids and more wealth altruistic towards adults, showing that altruism can be somewhat situational.

"ANTI-HOMELESS"? Faith in humanity diminishes quickly. This is dreadful.
Get In Formation
It’s not only adults feeling altruistic towards kids, though; children as little as two years exhibit signs of seeking to help others as well. Studies suggest that toddlers feel greater happiness when sharing treats rather than getting them themselves. In addition to that, they feel more content giving up their resources rather than sharing something at no cost.

Luckily, people seemingly don’t grow out of feeling happy about doing good when they exit the toddler years. Based on Michael Steger’s—a psychologist at the University of Louisville in Kentucky—findings, good deeds (even if somewhat chaotic, in my opinion) make people happy.
He carried out a study assessing people’s involvement in pleasure-seeking behavior, versus meaningful activities, such as helping others or listening to people’s problems. Steger learned that the extent to which people participated in meaningful activities was positively linked to their level of happiness; pleasure-seeking behavior, on the other hand, didn’t seem to reap similar rewards.

In addition to the sporadic cases of chaotic good, people also take up volunteering—another activity arguably capable of restoring one’s faith in humanity. According to TeamStage, over a billion people globally take part in volunteering, whose labor equals to over 109 million full-time workers.

Period tracking apps will become increasingly dangerous as American law enforcement certainly will use them to discover clandestine abortions in the future... As some people (namely Clarence Thomas and similar) are already talking about making contraceptives illegal, this will be even more severe.

I personally don’t agree with these kind of statements, not to be confused with harsh, brutal police acts and racism, that is for sure not okay, but when they are slightly off-parked or have a taillight out, for these they are just trying to do their jobs, they probably don’t have time if a criminal has rammed the back end for example to go and get it all fixed. If they are being truly unlawful and discriminatory and unfair, then I don’t believe this is a value of time, they’ve spent a few minutes now just having to take that, when I can guarantee they are just given the squad car by a superior and don’t have management calls like this. Just wanna remind again, I don’t agree one bit when it is harsh, terrible abuse of power especially racism with certain officers.

It's SOOOOO stupid that many job ads don't post the salary range. I won't even apply for those anymore and I bet a lot of others feel the same. Just think of all the great candidates they are missing out on. But "no one wants to work". Yeah, that's the problem.

I support planting trees _I love the environment! But if the residents or owners didnt allow OP to plant the tree then its not ok . I recently started planning to build a vegatble garden in my front garden . I would be very annoyed if this happend as I was planning. OP did not think of what the residents might to planning to do in THEIR garden. And if the residents want to cut in down that would cost them money to do so.

This list has the same mentality of most AITA stories: "they were TA first, so not only am I 100% justified in being TA back, I'm also hilarious."
Load More Replies...A lot of this is revenge. Revenge isn't justice, revenge is the opposite of justice.
