    Be authentically you in every now moment! Looking back I distinctly remember my mom telling me to stop being dramatic or loud because, as she saw it, I was only seeking attention (don't hate on my mom, I hold no ill about it). I wasn't dramatic, or desiring of attention or outside validation but simply expressing my excitement about my world. So starting real young I would suppress myself for what I thought was the benefit of others. Turns out that was suppressing a grand design inside me meant to be shared.

    While nihilism is defined as a viewpoint that rejects the existence of genuine values and beliefs and asserts the meaninglessness of life, the posts shared by the ‘Cheerful Nihilism’ Instagram account are not exactly focused on this viewpoint.

    In their own words, “Cheerful Nihilism is just sparkling absurdism,” and absurdism can mean both—the viewpoint that the universe is irrational and meaningless and intentionally ridiculous or bizarre behavior. (It’s safe to assume that many of us have taken part in the latter.)

    But today, let’s not focus on nihilism, nor absurdism. Let’s delve deeper into the cheerful part and focus on happiness instead.

    Purpose? A cat's main purpose after eating and sleeping is to check out their territory, so they roam from room to room like a security guard checking to make sure everything is on the up and up. Then they eat and curl up for a nap.

    YAY! I get to share something neat I learned years ago: Cats purr at frequencies that are scientifically known to maintain the health of bones, ligaments, muscles. Resting and purring is actually cat maintenance. It's also partly why it's just so friggin enjoyable having a cat purring and leaning on you - the vibrations and tones are literally designed to relax you. Funnily enough, this is not so effective when the cat snuggling up to you is, say, a cheetah or a mountain lion.... ;)

    In a piece for Positive Psychology, behavioral scientist Nicole Celestine, Ph.D noted that the science of happiness is a rather new subject in the world of psychology, which used to mainly focus on the less positive aspects of life. However, nowadays, there’s much more information on what makes us happy and what we can do to continue to feel this way.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “The science of happiness has opened our eyes to a plethora of new findings about the sunny side of life,” Dr. Celestine wrote, before sharing some interesting facts based on research on happiness.

    For instance, did you know that money can only buy happiness up to roughly $75,000? After this sum is reached, the monetary gains reportedly have no significant effect on our emotional wellbeing.

    Another fun fact suggests that pursuing happiness through social means, such as spending quality time with friends and family, is believed to be more effective than other methods.

    If you say "My friend is not here," that is a lie. You are deceiving the enemy. And it's 100% morally correct to lie in such a case. An ethical system that doesn't allow for it is wrong. Even if there are universal laws, there is no reason for those laws not to be nuanced. In other words, f*ck you Kant.

    FFS. The Founding Fathers kept slavery and overlooked giving women the right to vote. I’m pretty “meh” about the whole American Revolution. As a woman, either way that war had gone, I would have been stuck obeying my husband or my father. As I see it, the American Revolution started because of rich white guys whining about paying taxes. Nothing has changed since then.

    Another interesting thing about happiness is that it can, to some extent, be determined by genetics. But our experiences and our day-to-day lives reportedly play a more significant role than genetics does.

    1. Other correlational factors that affect our happiness include:
    2. Personality Type
    3. Positive Emotions Versus Negative Emotions
    4. Attitude Toward Physical Health
    5. Social Class and Wealth
    6. Attachment and Relatedness
    7. Goals and Self-Efficacy
    8. Time and Place.

    When I found out that Ancient Greeks were aware of human-caused climate change and how we're still in denial thousands of years later, I realized that greed and hatred are the greatest forces behind our eventual extinction. Sure, it's ugly corporations, disgusting billionaires, and self-serving politicians who are at the helm of this sinking ship, but we, the passengers, tend to give it lip service without changing our habits and behavior. Let's face it. We don't deserve this planet.

    I'd like to see your proof of that statement. The idea that human activities could cause climate change on a global scale emerged much later, in 1896. Egyptians did things to address local environmental issues but, there is a great deal of historical evidence of major pollution done by them including widespread deforestation and and a significant increase in environmental heavy metal deposition.

    One of mine is sitting next to me right now, holding on to me with both paws while she grooms her lovely self and purrs loudly. Earlier she wanted to play, so she brought a little cloth toy for me to throw to her so she can fetch it and bring it back multiple times. Cats are a true joy.

    Took our young Yuki to the vet yesterday for his annual booster/6month health check. He yelled at the top of his voice all the half mile there. We both would swear in a court of law that he yelled "Ohhhgawwddnooo" but it's just audio pareidolia!

    My Griffin always makes a weird noise too and I’d describe it like that! It’s also the sound he makes before he vomits, so I think it means exactly what you said. He also does this car travel related thing repeatedly where he starts low and it goes up on the end almost like a question: “Arrrrrooop?”

    "And when I hear their questions, do you hear questions? What do their voices mean to you? Perhaps you just think they're singing songs to you." He reflected on this, and saw the flaw in the supposition. "Perhaps they are singing songs to you, and I just think they're asking me questions."

    An Ipsos poll from 2022 found that the things that give people the greatest happiness are their health and well-being (both physical and mental), their family, and a sense of purpose. Back then, three years ago, across 30 countries, roughly two-in-three adults considered themselves “happy,” with the Netherlands and Australia topping the list of countries with the happiest people.

    According to more recent data, The World Happiness Report from 2025, Finland is the happiest country in the world, followed by Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, respectively.

    I once had a therapist tell me to run the dishwasher twice. I just couldn't face the sink full of dishes. I had to all but wash them before I put them into the dishwasher for then to get clean in my crappy dishwasher so I just kept putting then off and putting then off. When I told my therapist, he said run to run the dishwasher twice! I was gobsmacked! What a crazy idea! But it worked. No more sick full of dishes. Next, I took a shower sitting down.

    If something's worth doing, it's worth doing badly. Give yourself permission to half-a**e things if that's all you can cope with. Only have 10 min for the last essay question in the exam? It's worth doing a quick essay plan/key points in bullet points, and getting partial credit. Can't find the effort to clean the whole kitchen? Clear the sink and empty the trash. Perfect is the enemy of good. Doing it properly is the enemy of doing enough to scrape by.

    And during all the defining moments of human history, laundry got done. Barely or thoroughly. Guess the women in Gaza do laundry, the best they can, because their kids need clothes. So do the people in Ukraine, in Sudan... Whatever is happening that you generally have no influence on, you need food, water, shelter and clothes. So we do laundry.

    This is why I'm happy to have been born a Gen X'er. We spent our entire childhoods being told that we would never measure up, that we were slackers, and that we were appallingly apathetic to the world around us instead of motivated to change it. At 51, I have failed in both career and marriage, and I've come to realize that nothing I do will mean much in the long view of this time in history. I do care about my country and the world at large, but I am powerless in the face of broader issues I cannot in any way control. The world will go on with or without me, so fvck it, I will do my best in my own small sphere of it. I will improve the lives of those I care about and be nice to those I meet, but as for the rest, I have not the fvcks to give for most of it.

    In addition to the warm and fuzzy feeling happiness creates, it also brings a number of health benefits. According to the Greater Good Magazine, happiness helps protect your heart, strengthens your immune system, helps combat stress and aches, minimizes the risk of certain long-term health conditions, and can even lengthen your life.

    I went to a deli some time ago, and got a sandwich. When the deli-master had finished constructing and wrapping the masterpiece, he held it up and said, "Beg?" I thought it was an unusual request, but I'm an accommodating sort of person, so I held my hands up like a dog's paws, lolled my tongue out, and panted. He looked at me, confused, picked up a small paper bag with his other hand, held up the sandwich and the bag, and asked "Do you vant a beg or don't you?"

    Happiness might not be something that comes easily, but it can make people’s lives significantly better, which is why it’s important to continue your pursuit of happiness or look for ways to be cheerful, at least. One of the arguably easiest ways to become just a little more cheerful is browsing funny memes, and if you’re done with the ones on this list, you can find more on our meme category here.

    I've done something similar when I'm restless after being indoors for too long. I tell myself, "The Beast is pacing around her cage restlessly, suffering without species-typical activities." Sometimes, before a long walk, I might tell my husband that I'm going to release myself back into nature.

Meanwhile i am binging on little debbie snack cakes and drinking water that has been sitting in the recycled mcdonalds cup for two days. One day , the cat was beggibg for treats and i gave her speech abiut being healthy and long life. The i thought " why dont you do this for yourself"?

    Visualizing something outside of the self is a legit coping skill. I don't believe in a deity or entity that cares about me specifically, but it can be very helpful to visualize handing things that aren't in my control to something else that can handle it. It helps me to stop trying to control it so I can focus on what I can.

    Peace and harmony can't flow properly through a cluttered space. Kind of like Feng Shui. I know it sounds dumb and whatnot but here is an example. You ever go in someones house that is a wreck, feces on the floor, dust everywhere, clutter. You feel tight inside, like uncomfortable. But someones house that is nice and clean and organized makes you feel at ease. Peace and Harmony man. I don't go as far as to face things in a certain direction and all that, but I keep a tidy house.

    No, I can honestly say I haven't ever gone into someone's house with feces on the floor. I think my sister has, though. Pretty sure she felt hella uncomfortable. But on the other hand, I've been in houses that are clean and organized and I don't inevitably feel at ease, I feel that the person is a control freak and that if I touch anything I will be risking some sort of scene. Just one mug in the sink would counteract all that, but evidently our two choices are utter chaos or diabolical perfection. Not a fan of either. My search for peace and harmony continues....

    A lot of the admiration for people who suffered is just a mechanism not to admit and feel oneself how horrible they must feel. See all the praise for Gisele Pelicot what a "heroine" she was for going to court. Very likely a court case would have happened anyway (in Germany at least, the victim doesn't decide whether there is a criminal court case). Not to take ANYTHING away from her, she's great! But all those "what a hero!" posts - where was the "OMG, just imagine how horribly she suffered, imagine your spouse did that to you" posts? Way, way less! In focussing on her strength people didn't have to com-passion (!) for her suffering.

    My damaged brain doesn't process what someone's saying like it used to, so I fall behind in the conversation, panic begins to build as I attempt to claw back the words ringing in my ears, but they've moved on to the next sentence.

    This was basically how I described puberty to my kid. The human body does some really gross things and in the next few years, it's gonna be a little extra gross. But the good news is that all your friends bodies are doing the same thing, so embrace it and be gross together.

    This autumn, when you see geese heading South for the winter and flying along in a ‘V’ formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates ‘uplift’ for the bird immediately following. By flying in a ‘V’ formation, the whole flock adds at least 70% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily, because they are travelling on the thrust of each other. When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed in the same way that we are.

    Do you have the blind dream often? There is something in your life that you are keeping your eyes closed on and it is not in your highest good to remain blind to it. Whatever the first thing was that came to mind when you read that is probably the thing.

    I often make the mistake of sitting down after putting my food in the microwave. Then when it's done heating my microwave will beep constantly every 25 seconds to remind me of the food and i absolutely hate my life in that span of time it takes me to muster the energy to get off the couch, walk 30 feet to get my food and come back to eat. And then comes the herculean task of choosing what to watch before i can start eating.

    In a high school a guy I was kind of seeing had his wisdom teeth removed and gave me one of them. I can't tell you how absolutely excited and flattered I was. I carried it around with me everyday. I wish I knew what happened to it. No one else has ever been so generous as to give me any of their bones since then.
