Give It Up For This Hero
This is Victoria. She died a hero saving her students from school massacre gunman. She hid first graders in the cabinets and closets after hearing the gunfire. When the shooter came to her classroom, she told him that her students were in the gym. He then gunned her down and moved on. She saved the lives of all of her studens.
Please pass this on if you see it. She deserves to be remembered for her brave. Bless her
Stop allowing civilian to have automatic rifle. If they need weapon for self-defense, a pistol should be enough.
At no time should any gun be considered as "protection". Please note how many countries operate without this insanity.
Load More Replies...Instead of adding to a useless online argument about gun laws, I’m going to honor this woman by giving her name; Victoria Soto. I did a project with my 7th graders where I had them research lesser-known heroes from a list I’d come up with; she was one I had on my list.
This is not a positive story. This is disgusting. No civilian needs to own a gun for any reason. Period. Not self-defense; there are other, better options. Not hunting; bows and crossbows are a thing. No. Civilian. Needs. A. Gun.

Load More Replies..."Kindness in humans is very interesting from an evolutionary perspective. At first glance, kindness doesn’t seem to make much evolutionary sense—nature doesn’t usually select for properties that help others at a cost to oneself. But in humans, things are a bit different," Dr. Geher explained to Bored Panda in an email.
"We evolved to live in stable social groups and at some point, cooperation became a core element of the human experience. With that, people who developed reputations as kind (as opposed to as selfish or greedy) actually did quite well," he said.
"Being seen as kind makes one more attractive as a friend, collaborator, and romantic partner. And this fact has shaped our psychology such that we tend to value kindness in others quite a bit."
Insulin
In 1922, at the University of Toronto, scientists went to a hospital ward with children who were comatose and dying from diabetic keto-acidosis. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child. The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with the new purified extract - insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. One by one, all of the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom, became a place of joy and hope.
I have read this so many times times and I will always upvote it! I honestly couldn’t imagine the joy!
And now I read about many Americans dying because they cannot afford the exorbitant price big pharma are changing. All in the name of the almighty profit$$
It's worse than that. Our tax money directly funds pharmaceutical dr ug development, yet we pay the highest prices in the world for medication. Also, because of government delays and red tape, generic versions of those dr ugs (which are often cheaper), are slow to be put on the market.
Load More Replies...The creator of synthetic insulin refused to patent the d**g so it would always be affordable and accessible to everyone who needed it. US d**g suppliers found a work around and that's why it's $$$ in the US and costs peanuts most other places ☹️
Not only that, but they kept the price low.. very low. Big Pharma just wanted to earn big cash. Depending on where you life, they decide if you get to life or not.
Thank you Drs. Banting and Best for the millions of lives you have saved!
Wow, This Is Amazing
Four college students from North Carolina State University developed a nail polish that changes color when exposed to certain d***s often used to d***g women, including GHB, Rohypnol, and Xanax. The wearer can stir her drink with a finger. If her drink was tampered with, she'll know within seconds.
Needs to be mass produced and sold at a reasonable price everywhere. Men need it too
this was around 2014? And have only heard about it in this context, never any real product on the marked though?
Load More Replies...Cool invention and all but I am infuriated to the point I am struggling by to type properly, that this is what we have to resort to stop people raping people. Magic nail polish.
First and foremost, the "news" was from 2015 and -turns out- this invention didn't really work. They tried to use the company (Undercover Colors) to look for founding for a overly-complex and unrealistic electronic test kit, until ultimately folded in 2019. Their website is now in use by Thailandese scammers. Second, "drink spiking test kits" exist, are readily available, cost a few cents each and actually work, contrary to this alternative. Third, "stir a drink with a finger" is a plain stupid strategy if you plan to be discreet, and there is not a single user case where a nail polish is more effective than a plain paper strip.
Oh yeah, casually stirring a drink with a finger in a flirty way is totally obvious. You should totally start dabbing random strips of paper in your drink. They'll never suspect a thing.

"Often used" may depend on where you are. Sweden had many cases where drugging was claimed but extremely few was actually in the blood. Large amounts of alcohol was on the other hand very common and most cases could be explained with "drunk, not drugged".

Dr. Geher also shed some light on finding goodness and joy even when everything feels very tense and chaotic. "How people respond to stressful situations is a major factor in who someone is at their core. Stressful situations often bring out the worst in people, leading to anxiety, depression, and sometimes anger—things that characterize the worst of the human emotional experience," he told Bored Panda.
"Finding joy and goodness during stressful times is not always easy. But there are some kinds of experiences that famously help people to de-stress. Getting out into nature has been found to have positive effects when it comes to reducing stress. Sharing one’s emotional experiences with close others often is helpful as well," he said.
"Another one I’ll put out there pertains to creativity—it is hard to be stressed while painting a watercolor of a beautiful natural landscape, for instance."
Chiune Sugihara Risked His Life In Saving The Jews From Nazis
Chiune Sugihara - this man saved 6000 jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up jews, Sugihara risked his life by issuing unlawful travel visas to jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hours a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, wit-nesses claim he was still writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world did not know what he had done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died
Just my thoughts, but if there was a god handing out blessings, it might have been better if he'd bothered to save those Jews.
Load More Replies...Meanwhile in China, John Rabe, a fully fledged believer in the N**i Party, is credited with helping to save over 250,000 Chinese civilians from Japanese atrocities during the Nanking m******e. No matter your culture or your beliefs, when faced with people actually being m******d in real life, not in theory, some people will find the courage to stand up and say no, this is where we draw the line. Japan and N**i Germany m******d millions of civilians between then and committed all kinds of atrocities but these two men, both loyal supporters of their respective governments, still risked their lives to save the people in front of them when the deaths became a tangible thing.
Japan was actually relativley friendly towards jews despite their alliance with the T*********h back then. Edit: REALLY BP, CENSORING 3rd REICH NOW?! Motherfurking ridiculous
Nope. One among many, while still too few. In Nanking/Nanjing there was John Rabe. In Warsaw there was Irena Sendler. In Bordeaux there was the Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes. In Sofia there was Dimitar Peschew. The list goes on and a number of names can be found on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_of_Jews_during_the_H*******t, including people who risked their lives to hide persons at their own homes or diplomats and international businessmen, who used their positions to save dozens or even thousands.

Load More Replies...Didn't Lego do something similar? I mean, Lego is not cheap by far, but I remember the owner saying something along the lines of "We're not gonna do xx because we're a family company and thus have no shareholders so we don't need to", or something (I know, my ability to relay information is astounding lmao)
You're probably thinking about Lego going to licensed IP (Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc.) themed products. The original creator, who initially didn't want to have themed (build a ship, build a castle, etc.) products or even instructions, let alone licensed IP. Once he was gone, Lego very quickly sold out.
Load More Replies...As many have noted, Arizona does not set the retail price, that's up to the retailers. Arizona even offers a can that doesn't have the suggested retail price. That being said, I think Arizona still sells the tea to the retailers at it's original wholesale price, so the retailers are making bank on those cans.
Another example of wealthy CEOs with a moral compass is Patagonia's founder, Yvon Chouinard. His strong commitment to the environment motivated him to donate the entire company to a trust dedicated to fighting climate change.
Dr. Geher noted that stress is "essentially the bane of our psychological existence."
"And let's face it: These days, there is plenty to be stressed about. Finding healthy ways that reduce stress for you is key to living a happy and fulfilling life. It may be exercise, nature, meditation, art, reading, crochet, etc. But once you find what works for you, make sure to institutionalize that into your daily life—doing so will be helpful when inevitable stressors come your way."

Load More Replies...A lovely, lovely man. The world misses your light, Chadwick Boseman.
Human beings are hardwired in such a way that they focus more on the negative aspects of life more than the positives. This might be useful for survival, but it also means that you tend to have a slightly warped perspective of how the world can be.
Living through extremely distressing events like pandemics and armed conflicts and spending far too much time on social media, following every single negative development, can lead to empathy burnout, exhaustion, and chronic anxiety.
Of course, real life isn’t black and white. It’s nuanced. There’s joy and sorrow, triumph and horror, beauty and destruction, altruism and greed. And so, it’s important to recognize that no matter how horrible or wonderful life seems at the moment, the human experience is much deeper and more varied than it might appear. It would be a tad naive and short-sighted to believe that absolutely everything is amazing/horrible.
Though this means that there’s always potential conflict waiting behind every moment of joy, there are also silver linings to look for during stressful and tense times. It’s up to us to remember to focus on the positives when we’re drowning in stress.

People tend to pay more attention to bad things and overlook the positives due to evolution, Verywell Mind explains.
It’s likely that in early human history, paying attention to “bad, dangerous, and negative threats” was of utmost importance for survival. To put it simply, it’s theorized that people who were “more attuned to danger” and paid more attention to the bad things surrounding them were more likely to survive and, therefore, pass on their genes.
Negativity bias, also known as positive-negative asymmetry, is something that we’ve all felt in our lives. For example, it’s why you might feel much worse when you get criticized for messing up than when you get praised for doing a good job.
Or why an irritating comment from someone you know can ruin an otherwise perfectly fine day. In short, the average person is more biased toward negativity simply because of how our psychology and biology evolved to keep us safe(r).

Load More Replies...First time seeing a plane from the inside? It looks like a rather small aircraft so they can't have an avenue running through the middle.
Load More Replies...Furthermore, human beings are more likely to remember traumatic experiences, react more strongly to negative stimuli, and respond more strongly to negative rather than equally positive events.
On top of that, people tend to learn more from negative outcomes and experiences than from positive ones. Negativity bias is also why the average person is more motivated to avoid losing something than to gain something.

He Saved 22 Of His 23 Students
The man in the photo, Liviu Librescu wasn't any ordinary man.

Meanwhile, Healthline explains that even though negativity appears to be our “default setting,” we can still override it.
For example, you can increase your positivity by being more mindful of what is and isn't important in your life. You can also focus on more positivity by looking at what you’re grateful for and what you value.

John Cena Being A Great Guy
To those confused by Tobias Reaper's comment, when Cena was wrestling his catchphrase was 'You can't see me'.

One Of The Two Remaining Northern White Rhinos In The World, Guarded 24 Hours A Day
The news is worse, and better, than typically reported. The bad news is that the lack of a male Northern White Rhinoceros means that the population is functionally extinct; there are no males for these two females to breed with. The not-so-bad news is that "Northern White Rhinoceros" is not a species, just a population. The kinda amazing news is that they've created embryos from s***m from deceased NWR males and eggs from living NWR females and are implanting them in SWR "surrogate mothers."
Load More Replies...and sad, that people get paid money to go k**l these creatures just for some superstition believe about what the product can be used for!
Load More Replies...that'd make for a great buddy-cop movie. the other rhino is kidnapped and the guard and the magic talking rhino have to rescue it. poachers arrested (and have their b***s stomped on by rhinos ofc) and everyone lives happily ever after
Load More Replies...All poachers should be castrated with hammers and forced to see their villages and families on fire.
Have a look a few posts back - there are some amazing things being done to save the white rhino.
Load More Replies...The Northern White rhino is "functionally extinct" since Sudan had to be euthanized in 2015 after months of declining health. He leaves his daughter, Najin, and his granddaughter, Fatu. Scientists are using Fatu's eggs and the s***m of Sudan and other dead males in an attempt to breed more via IVF, but neither female can sustain a pregnancy, so they used a female Southern White rhino as a surrogate. An entire species wiped out due to poaching and climate change, i.e. human greed and ignorance. And we have the unmitigated gall to refer to ourselves as the superior animal when we're nothing more than voracious apex predators.
The trust between animal and man. God bless the rangers who do this work, often at their own peril.

A Mom's Strength
This is very sad, he was kidnapped and later "sold"/given away for adoption, and after this reunion he opted to stay with his adoptive family. I can't find any more information, but I read it in another comment the last time it was here on BP.

Load More Replies...I commented on this a few weeks ago. It's not cute or funny. It is a trained wild animal
The animal is responding in a way that it was taught to, through tor-ture and pain.

Fingal's Cave Is A Geological Formation Located On The Uninhabited Island Of Staffa, In The Inner Hebrides Of Scotland
Actually, it's not uninhabited since it's a breeding area for puffins, common shags, fulmars, great skuas, and gulls. Not every square inch of land needs to be suitable for human habitation. We do share the planet with other life forms.
Mendelssohn wrote a magical ten-minute overture called "Fingal's Cave." You can almost hear the waves surging. https://youtu.be/zyZ5cHUaiBI?si=SO51vdnxqrxF5ghF
