50 Wholesome Memes And Posts That Remind Us The World Isn’t All Bad
Interview With ExpertCars can break down, coworkers can be annoying, and the weather can turn gloomy, and occasionally, these things (along with a few extra ones) can happen all at once.
When that happens, we need to remember that the world hasn't conspired against us and that other people are having bad days, too. Call it fate or chance, but they're part of life.
However, it helps to have someone or something that provides a little solace. Like a social media page that's dedicated to emotional support memes.
Luckily, we just found one. Its content is fresh, relatable, and, most importantly, can pick you up if you're feeling down.

Actually? I've literally NEVER laughed that hard from something I've seen online. Irl I'm dying of laughter constantly, but stuff online, eh, I rarely get a little chuckle. It's fascinating that people can be so easily amused by the Internet. I'm quite jealous, actually.

To learn more about our well-being and the ways we can keep it in check, we contacted Dr. Jonice Webb, who has a PhD in clinical psychology and is the author of the bestselling books Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect and Running On Empty No More: Transform Your Relationships.
"One of the biggest mistakes most of us make with our mental health is not paying enough attention to our feelings," Webb told Bored Panda. "When you are aware of what you are feeling and why, you are empowered to act in your own best interests and less likely to make mistakes."
And pink ones at that! I don't know why, but pink toe beans are utterly irresistible!

I'm not really a cat person due to allergies and other unspecific preferences, but I'm in love with this little creature. She's absolutely gorgeous.
Awwww... I had a cat a long time ago who slept in a Kleenex box. I still miss him.
Cosy! To be a little person (what do you call them, brownies?) and sleep in tissue boxes, ride kittens and hide from humans.
i am going to start referring to coffee as FükkenScälden from now on :)
my ex borrowed my car when we were still together and got into an accident at 70 mph. as 7 air bags deployed and the car exploded, they looked at their coffee flying out of the cup holder and thought "oh no my coffee!" ex was fine besides some minor whiplash that went away in a few days after a hospital visit, the car looked like a coke can you stomped on but "oh no my coffeeeeeeeeeee" will always live in my head
I knew a family that would cook their food using the engine heat while they were traveling. It seems that an under-hood rotisserie would have become a standard item by now.
Mythbusters did that along with Alton Brown once. Cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal using a car

Load More Replies...I don't know how to describe the sound I made when I read FukkenScalden, but it was enough to frighten my cat, who was sitting beside me, and has now retreated to his cushion, on the other side of the room.

For those wondering about the scope of these problems, one out of every two people in the world will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime, according to a large-scale 2023 study co-led by researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of Queensland.
The findings are based on structured, face-to-face surveys of more than 150,000 adults across 29 countries of varying wealth from all of the regions of the world.
The researchers said the results illustrate the high prevalence of mental health disorders worldwide, with 50 percent of the population developing at least one disorder by the age of 75.
Harvey is not impressed she wants to know why hers is so small compared to yours
And why she was named after a 6 foot tall invisible male rabbit. (If you know, you know.)
Load More Replies...I love that the humans think giving Harvey her own tree will stop her messing with theirs.
Best thing I every got for my cat was a furry bag tent-bed thing. She looks at it like this cat does the tree.
Shedd aquarium in chicago had a sassy stingray in the touch pool, he'd glide around all cool until people really leaned in and then SPLASH in the face and he'd veer away super fast, only one to do that lol
Had that happen to me while on holiday visiting my mum and stepdad. We went to one of the bigger aquariums around and they had a pool with stingrays and wobbegong sharks. I went to have a closer look and one cheeky ray thought it would be funny to get right up close to the side of the pool, sit there a second and then flap his wings and send water everywhere! I’m like thanks little dude, just what I needed, salt water all over me :D

For anyone who did not that art appreciation or ancient history The Venus of Willendorf is an 11.1-centimetre-tall (4.4 in) Venus figurine estimated to have been made around 29,500 years ago.[1][2] [3] It was recovered on 7 August 1908 from an archaeological dig conducted by Josef Szombathy, Hugo Obermaier, and Josef Bayer at a Paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria.

The study showed that the most common mental illnesses were mood disorders and that the risk of certain mental disorders differed by sex.
The three most common mental health disorders among women were: depression, specific phobia (a disabling anxiety that interferes with daily life), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The three most common mental health disorders among men were: alcohol abuse, depression, and specific phobia.
The researchers also discovered that mental health disorders typically first emerge in childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood.

Of course, a lot depends on the specifics, but Dr. Jonice Webb suggests that we need to be honest with ourselves if we want to cultivate resilience.
"First, be aware of your feelings about the challenge you are facing," she said.
"Second, as you consider your feelings, think about what those feelings are telling you and whether those feelings are taking you in a healthy direction or not."
"Third, determine what you need in order to determine the next step," the psychologist added.

Is the guy on Mars, too? Because if this picture was taken on Mars, I have been lied to about the atmosphere there.
It's because they are called Rovers, perfectly understandable mistake.

Load More Replies...i've met super super sweet bilingual people who are like "oh, i'm so sorry about my English" and i'm like "girlie, you're fluent in at least twice the languages I am, I have absolutely no right to judge you"
My mom once said something along the lines of, "Don't be rude to people with bad English. They know one more language than you!" (If you only speak English)
Do not sneer at my accent or grammar of English. Probably I speak at least one language more than you.
Spot on, some Americans are expecting every single person in our country to speak perfect English, ok, get a grasp on reality. I love this country and all the differences we have from one another, it's what makes America a melting pot of diversity. Our forefathers started it this way since the Mayflower
When someone complains about another person's English, I turn to them and ask "And how many languages do YOU speak?" whether I know them or not.
According to Webb, as you go through the first three steps she mentioned, you may realize that you need more information.
"Maybe you need the observations of someone who knows you well, data or facts about the thing you are considering, or some help sorting through your feelings and thoughts."
And that's perfectly fine. But "if you decide to seek input from another person, always make sure that you are consulting someone who is able to be objective, who has shown they can make good decisions in general, and who has your own best interests at heart."
One of my cats would always settle his ample body into a 12 pack box on the floor and watch me and a guest eat. Once we had cleared the table, I'd just put the box on the table, and he'd join us for conversation and after dinner drinks.
Hey all. Thanks for the up votes. Neal, a/k/a Neally Wheely and Big Fat Whiny Cat ;) was so incredibly social. His "sister" was a pudgekin named Aurora for her eyes in contrast to her beautiful white fur (short hair). Sweet purr-master girl who would go between myself and guest for ear scratches when we sat on the couch on opposite ends. Keep the motor runnin'... When I had small parties they would greet every guest and I can't tell you how many people said they didn't like cats and had no idea they could be so friendly and filled with personality. Love all the BP cat features. Thank you!

That is when you invite them to the table but keep them in the box.
Load More Replies...My mom would set a plate for my cat. We'd all give him little bits of fish etc. He was quite the gentleman. As a tuxedo cat, he was always dressed for dinner.
Gonzo always had such fun little outfits, I feel like the costumers making tiny clothes enjoyed their job.

They dont need a screen? Wont they get comfy fall asleep roll over and plop, fall down out window????
Depends if you're entering or leaving. Entering: #1. Exiting: #2. Just chillin': #3
However, if you decide to stick to online content for the time being, just make sure the content isn't entirely gloomy. Doomscrolling—or the rabbit holes we often find ourselves in on the internet, reading, searching, and 'investigating' the toils and troubles of the day—has been found to cause symptoms similar to PTSD such as anxiety and despair.
Salvia divinorum (Latin: sage of the diviners; also called ska maría pastora, seer's sage, yerba de la pastora, magic mint or simply salvia) is a species of plant in the sage genus Salvia, known for its transient psychoactive properties when its leaves, or extracts made from the leaves, are administered by smoking, chewing, or drinking (as a tea).
Load More Replies...Some experts suggest consciously incorporating some 'kindness scrolling' into your online activities.
By looking at more positive things that make you smile—whether they're funny cats, wholesome parents, or "emotional support memes"—you are not only boosting your mood but are also creating a healthier relationship with your device and the internet.
Is this true? Whenever my mom is around I seem to get yellow jackets around me no matter where we are. She has a tendency to swat at them. I’m quite allergic so I just stay still or try to remove myself from the situation. Could the bees just be staying near me because they recognize my crazy looking mom swatting at them and me being Chill? I also have a bumblebee highway on my patio and we try to avoid each other but we sometimes bump into each other but they have never stung me.

I was about to sneeze the other day and I almost did it in my husband’s face because we don’t have cats anymore and daddy’s little girl was really good at surprising him with sneezes and I thought maybe he misses that. But I’ve had Covid at least twice even though I’m vaccinated so my sneezes can get really gross, it just hasn’t cleared up in 4 years, so I opted for the bathroom.
Good choice, never sneeze in someone's face, especially intentionally.

They couldn't get the shark to work reliably, so they used very little footage of it in the movie, which made the movie far more frightening. Jamie Hyneman and his crew (who would later become the Mythbusters) made the shark.
HUGE Jaws fan here. The first part of your comment is true, but I don't think the Mythbusters people had anything to do with the movie. For one thing, Jamie graduated from high school in 1974 (the movie came out in 1975). Robert Mattey has been credited with making the three sharks used in the movie.

I know this from the documentary "Holy Grail" by documentarians Monty Python.
Yeah, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt. First time I had a kidney stone, it looked like I was passing cranberry juice. Thought I was dying.
Mine looked like iced tea. Saw the dark urine... thought I was just in bad light. 2 hours later it dropped me like a cheap date. 5 days (what it felt like, but really 4 to 5 hours) of sitting in my jet tub, hottest water possible shooting out of the jets onto my sides. Pain killers... all laughed at by this 1 cm stone. Little bastards.

Great parks all have these. Some are bulletin boards, some have a map of the park.

Exact match for CA. State Park info boards. Like trails, dangers, watch-out-for's, bathrooms...
Again, I'm on two sides of this... One it could be a photo to document and record for scientific research purposes such as recording numbers of sharks, types etc as we impact on their environment, if so it's "catch and release" but? If its a guy catching them for a day out? "Oh hey!!! I caught a shark!" Nope. I hope it was immediately put back in the water.

Reminds me of the time someone found a sealed room with blood all over the place and "HELP ME" or something similar scrawled on the wall. They called the police, of course. Turned out it was a preserved set from an indie horror movie. (The filmmakers had left it as-is thinking they might need to go back for reshoots).
LOLOLL I helped my friend with making his short film in college (art school) and we definitely should have used a sign like this because his upstairs neighbour did in fact call the police. xD
Omg! We had to put notices like this on the front of the filming doors at University! 😄 A notice though was sent out to the entire two floors though beforehand.
My mum had a TGA attack and completely had absolutely no idea where she was, or how she'd driven there. Despite this, she had still managed to give a speech at a meeting to people she knew.

In the digital age, maintaining a positive outlook can be challenging. However, embracing acts of kindness and integrating uplifting content into our routine can have a transformative effect on our mental well-being.
Much like the community on social media platforms, sharing wholesome interactions can uplift not only ourselves but those around us as well.

Anything you ate she wanted so if it was banana she would still try to take a bite and then the face! The other one was with us from birth so he knew better. Had to sneak up behind him (he was a void) and watch those greenish eyes turn yellow as his head tried to decide which way to spin.
