With mainstream media primarily highlighting unpleasant events worldwide, it’s always refreshing to hear about acts of kindness towards another human being. Sadly, these behaviors don’t get as much attention as they should.
Thankfully, the Chaotic Good subreddit is changing that. This online group shares good intentions manifested through unorthodox methods, to say the least.
Here, you’ll see people stealing to provide for someone who can’t afford groceries, passing gas alongside someone so they won’t feel embarrassed, and drunkenly painting a crosswalk on a dangerous street.
Scroll through and have a few feel-good moments today. Hopefully, this list will show you that despite all the negativity, there is still some good in this world.

It Cost Zero Dollars To Mind Your Own Business
I'm a big guy. I buy nice clothes, but sometimes they don't fit, or I don't like them after I order them. You know what I do? I donate them. I was really, really poor for years, and it was very difficult to find clothes in my size at thrift stores and clothing rooms. So it's my way of helping out other dudes who may be big and poor and want to look nice. I also donate shoes and cologne sometimes. I was blessed when I needed help so I pay it forward.
I volunteer at a food bank from time to time, and people sometimes drive up in nice-looking cars or SUVs. I don't judge. Maybe they. bought those vehicles before they got into financial straits, or maybe the owner of the car is picking up food boxes for someone who doesn't have a car.
You're one really bad year from being in the same place. If that moment comes you won't be throwing out you cloths just to fit the ideals of others.
You might even be one really bad month from being there. Or less.

I specifically donated my old work clothes were in real nice condition for less fortunate people to be able to have, since now I work where I can wear t-shirts and jeans. I wasn't always as well off as I am now, and passing kindness on to strangers is one way I thank those that showed kindness to me when I needed it.
I'm a retired RN , and right now I need extra help due to stage 4 breast cancer that has pretty much spread throughout my body. Sometimes ( I use a walker) but my clothes are not rags either, and sometimes at the grocery store I feel like I'm being watched or judged.

She refused to read outloud because of her difficulties, so I explained to her the cat would need time to relax and the best way to help him would be to sit with him and read him a story just the two of them. Few weeks later, I received a photo of the girl reading to her cat in the living room, next to her father and brother. She didn't mind because it was for the cat :)

While it may sometimes feel like there is too much hate going around, kindness is an innate human trait. As University of Oxford researcher Dr. Oliver Scott Curry explained in an interview with CBS, it’s because “we are social animals.”
University of London psychologist Anat Bardi provided some survey results to the publication. According to the findings, people valued benevolence or kindness the most, edging out hedonism, creativity, ambition, seeking power, and having an exciting life.

Load More Replies...I visited a rhino sanctuary in Kenya in 2008 and 2009 that did that. If you were on their land with a gun and you weren't one of their rangers, they'd shoot to kill.
I'd rather they would gun down the people who BUY poached rhino stuff. the poachers themselves are mostly just desperate people trying to make a living day to day, and being paid pennies to risk their lives for that s**t...
That will make the price go up - if you can find the buyers, and if you are able to do that. It's an international trade.
Load More Replies...Shoot the buyers instead. I can totally admit that if my kids was starving/need medicin or similar I would stop at nothing to help them. I doubt I could make enough on prostitution, so illegal stuff would def he a option. Luckily I live in a land that has a good safety net.
An even more effective method is to dehorn the rhinos. There are two benefits. 1. Rhinos stop killing each other in fights and 2. They lose poachers' interest.
I am under the impression that there is still a little horn left after removal. Between that and that the horn will continue to grow, poachers just kill more rhinos to get the horn volume they want. The horns are ground down anyway, so they don’t need them to look like horns. :(

Load More Replies...My World History instructor required 5 different books for his class, all of which he wrote. The books were only sold in the bookstore and cost about $650 for the set. We ended up only using 2 of the books. Turns out, he self published and got to keep 55% of sales. He intentionally ripped us off. Did I mention he was a retired pastor?
Textbook publishers deserve a kick in the balls. A book I only read half of (maybe) once should not cost $200. Not when it can be replaced by 1s and 0s that const VIRTUALLY NOTHING to produce.
The stupid thing is that they can also change the textbook so you can't even use hand me downs. Especially the case with Pearson in the UK where the textbook manufacturers literally write the exams
Load More Replies...On the day of class our professor walked in and said the textbook is ridiculously expensive so I'm on the phone with the publisher trying to get it cheeper...she couldn't so we just didn't use it
I remember one story here where a professor didn't want his class to pay an marked up price for the same marked up (i.e. used) book he wrote so he transcribed the whole book by hand made copies of the pages and handed them out to the class ... I'm OK with pirating, but this was a much more legal approach ...
emphatic lack of a link to fmhy.net/readingpiracyguide. Why would you think I linked there? (fave is libgen, anna's archive has more but is slower downloads)
I had a professor who wrote the text provide us a free online copy of an almost finished version of the galley proofs. Saved us a couple hundred dollars for sure. I also used to check out the super cheap version of the previous edition of a textbook and if it was close enough, could spend $6 instead of over $100. Some profs would tell us if there were any changes we actually needed to know.
Acts of kindness are also reasonably common, even if people don’t feel that way most of the time. In 2021, the BBC launched a “Kindness Test,” which more than 60,000 people from 144 countries joined, making it the world’s largest psychological study on the topic.
Survey results showed that 16% of people had received an act of kindness within the hour prior. 43% claimed they had experienced it within the previous day.

Wasn’t this the original goal with insulin too? Where the hell did that go wrong?
in USA and Brazil apparently. In most of the western world price of diabetic medication, including but not restricted to insulin, is between 20-50 USD per month. In some countries it is even basically free, or almost free. In USA average cost of these medication is ~360 USD per month. I read that some states capped insulin pices, but sadly most did not. Why is insulin so expensive in USA? It is actually quite simple - corporate greed supported by bad lawmaking and lobbyists.
Load More Replies...Same with Banting and insulin. He sold the patent to the University of Toronto for $1
Insulin makers are only overcharging in countries where the government is colluding with them to keep the prices high - in part, by putting barriers in place to make it hard for citizens to buy cheap from abroad.

Candy Acid: Drag Queen, Dungeon Master, Orno-Enthusiast, Life Saver

However, the Kindness Test revealed the barriers that hinder people from showing goodwill toward others. Some are apprehensive about the possibility of embarrassment or rejection.
Personality may also play a role. The test revealed that the kindest people scored high on “agreeableness,” extroversion, and openness. This could mean that outgoing people are likely less concerned about rejection, making them more likely to buy a warm meal for someone in need, for example.

Wouldn't it be the town council to approve of a skate park? If they did that, then why would they dump mulch on a skate park if they approved it in the firs place? This just doesn't make sense to me.
Doesn't make sense. Cities hate skateboarders whipping around their cities, so a skate park is the perfect solution. Skaters are happy with their "confinement" and so are the people trying to get around. Win-win.
The council started it by littering mulch on to the perfectly good skatepark there wasn't any theft they were just cleaning

Gotta Love Drunk Idiots Sometimes
When I was at school the bus stop where I and a school mate caught the morning bus was suspended due to road works and temporarily replaced with a sign on a concrete block. Coming back from school one day we moved the temporary sign about 100 yards down the road so we didn't have to walk so far in the morning. When the works were finished they reinstated the bus stop WHERE WE HAD MOVED IT TO! It's still in the same spot decades later. I went on to become a Civil Engineer, designing and building roads!
My grandmother and I used to walk in some public parks along the river through town. We noticed that one part of the official path was starting to fall into the river, so we made our own shortcut - a "desire path" - that avoided the hazardous part. Eventually what Grandma started became the official path.
A friend of mine used to work a couple miles to get to work every day. She (and several others) didn't have a crosswalk near where they needed to cross. She got hit crossing one day and was charged with jaywalking, even though the she was in the middle of the street, and tall enough to be seen straight on by the driver of the car. My friend is permanently disabled and has huge bills she has to cover herself. Do more of this.
wish that was possible here in Germany. Here they would remove it with the reason " There is no permit for that!". There was a temporary crosswalk once that was put down for a construction site, but school kids living in the area used it too. Guess what: At the end of the construction they dead-a** removed the crosswalk, because in the permit it was stated that it was only for the duration of the construction...
real question : do cities have records of the location of pedestrian crossings ?
I would guess so. They have to be planned according to the projected traffic, both cars and pedestrians.

A former coworker of mine has 2 failed service dogs. They're not even as bad as this dog. They just couldn't master one skill and failed out of the program. It happens frequently. And then families end up with a really well trained dog.
a Labrador is the LAST dog you want knowing how to open the fridge!
What makes an act of kindness more meaningful is that it comes from the heart, no matter how small. And you may not realize how helpful these gestures can be.
One blood donation, for example, can help save up to three lives. Giving a random stranger a few genuine words of encouragement can help turn their day around in a massive way.

Standing Up For An Older Fellow
"Recently went camping at a very busy RV park. Our camper didn't have a toilet or shower, so we were reliant on the bathroom on site. The first night we were there I met a super cool older fellow that had some stomach issues (who didn't have his own restroom either). He was frantically trying to get the door open, but the keypad entry was broken. Thankfully I had my pocket knife and jimmied the door for him.
After I took a nice shower I rode my bike to find maintenance to repair the door. The gentleman couldn't get the door open themselves and swore they would fix it.
Later that evening the door was still broken. So, to help my little buddy out, I taped the latch so he could get in as he needed (frequently). I wrote on the tape, as not to ruin the door, "please don't remove the tape, some of us rely on this restroom". You can see the residue of the tape still left from their shoddy removal.
Next morning the tape was gone and the lock still broken. At that point, it was apparent that they didn't care about the people camping there, so I removed the broken handle, and deposited the parts in six cans across the campground.
Needless to say the next day the doorknob was replaced with a functional unit and the marker removed. The older fellow was so happy he gave me some limes his daughter grew. Made a hell of a beverage later that day."

I was in LD (learning disabled) for most of elementary school. I received a lot of attention so that I could learn things in a way that worked for me. By the end of high school I was in advanced placement classes and then graduated from college. One valuable lesson I took out of the experience is that students at the very bottom and very top get the most attention, and the average kid often times is the most underserved. The other lesson was that there can be such a thin line between success and failure. When I was at my lowest point (failing 2nd grade), my parents and teacher agreed I should do LD classes. If that didn't happen I would've repeated 2nd grade, let myself continue believing I was dumb and probably would've dropped out of school.
reading class in high school I was quite proficient but there was an underclassman who could not read so well so I would help her so she got a good grade. seemed the thing to do

Beating Capitalists At Their Own Game
If folks want to help preserve wildlife habitats, a good way to to it is to buy hunting and fishing licenses, since those license fees provide a substantial part of financial support for conservation efforts. You do not have to hunt or fish, of course.
The only possible downside might be overcrowding of the animals. If there aren't enough predators, you can get prey species dying of disease and starvation. And humans tend to keep the number of predators down as much as possible.
Is it possible they will do controlled hunts? That's a common thing where I'm from especially when the coyote population becomes too large.
Load More Replies...there should be NO Hunting for any reason ever but food. And it better be eaten and NOT left to rot. Scumbag poachers should be fed to the lions (or whatever local cats/wolves)

I just had to get my car repaired because some twit with an ACTUAL US driver's license tried to make a left turn from the right lane, causing an accident. And when he was asked why he did it, he said it was because his Lift GPS told him to go left, LIKE THAT EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. Yes, this guy was a a Lift driver. So I'm sorry, but people need to take and pass the driver's test without cutting corners.

Blares the game show channel so loud (with base surround sound no doubt) that it actually hurts my ears and makes my chest feel funny when I sit too near it. I always end up sitting near the back of the room by the toilet and elevators and use ear plugs when I'm there to avoid the discomfort of it.
I did this at work to silence the 24/7 fox news, only on my shift though. I put it back in my pocket when I leave. The other shifts think mine is crazy for not being able to change the volume. It sure does annoy some folks.
You can still buy TV-B-Gones. They are great, I used to bank at Wells Fargo and one day when the line was literally out of the lobby, I kept turning the TV off because they were playing Faux News.

While I was waiting for my car to be serviced, The View was on the tv. I asked the other person if he was watching the show. When he said no, I just unplugged the tv as we couldn't find the remote.

Lovely Idea!
In Germany started a programme, when there are yellow ribbons on apple trees, you are allowed to pick some for free. https://www.bmel.de/DE/themen/ernaehrung/lebensmittelverschwendung/ernteaktion-gelbes-band.html
My home in California had a huge orange tree in the front yard that was always covered with more oranges than we could ever eat. It was also right by the access point to the creekside walking path so there was lots of foot traffic past our house. It always made me smile to see orange peels scattered on the side of the walking path, knowing someone had recently enjoyed an orange from our tree. When we moved, we made sure to sell to a family who was happy to keep the tree open to anyone who wanted to pick an orange or 2 as they walked by. 🍊🍊🍊😊
I do that (well, à crate in a nearby park, with a roll of bags) every year, as my old apple tree produces way more than we can eat.
In the UK we just put it in a crate at the front of the house with a sign saying, "free, help yourself."
I did this with afruit box, and someone took the whole box. I send some to a local lunch group and the ones not as good, go to a local charity farm.

free religious reproductive healthcare? Did they mean to write 'religious-free reproductive healthcare' ?
Nope, because in New Mexico religious institutions gets extra protection, while non-religious institutes are easily legally attacked. The Satanic Temple is kind of a satyric -but at the same time very serious- organization that operates by exploiting the laws made to appease religious zealots and turning them against the zealots themselves. So, they are riding the religious exemptions and protections to run an operation that goes directly against the reasons those same regulations were put in place (i.e. restricting healthcare access on religious basis)

They've also managed to prevent a load of Christian extremism by successfully countering each action (e.g. 10 Commandments in schools) by arguing successfully that their version is also required for equality.
Good Job
I've only come across about 4 machines in the UK that charge you for withdrawing your own money. In each case, they were in the poorest areas of town. This made my blood boil.
We have two cash points in our town, one by the Spar at the poor end which charges, and one by the Co-op which used to charge even though it had a notice saying withdrawal was free... I think they pïssed off enough people that it's now free withdrawals.
Load More Replies...I never understood the sheer gall in effectively saying ‘I’ll keep your money safe for you while profiting massively off it anyway, but I’ll also charge you extra if you want any of it back and BTW we’re also cancelling interest because it only advantages you, and that’s not the point of all this’.
Glaswegians are the BEST, always trying to help, especially when screwing over someone who's trying to screw over other people.
We do sometimes call it ATM in UK, but usually it's cash point, or "hole in the wall"

Banned Books Are The Best Reads
"Moms for Liberty" is a Republican Conservative organization that started as a group fighting against COVID prevention measures, and later expanded their scope into campaigning against LGBT rights, racial equality, inclusion initiatives, vaccine mandates, freedom of religion and education. They have been proven to have financial ties with the republican parties and the "Proud Boys" neofascist organization. They themselves have been branded an "extremist far-right organization" by several independent advisory groups, and their methods include astroturfing campaigns, direct harassment of teachers and public servants, legal and personal threats, bounties to encourage violence or further harassing of teachers and even openly encouraging shooting liberal teachers.
For those not familiar, "Astroturfing is the deceptive practice of hiding the sponsors of an orchestrated message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious, or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from, and is supported by, unsolicited grassroots participants." So, pretending to be spontaneous, grass-roots, but actually coordinated and financed by reich-wing interests.

It is hard to believe than books can be banned in democratic country. I mean sure, Iran or North Korea, even Russia. But USA? Supposed beacon of liberty?
There is a small but extremely vocal minority in the US that wants a totalitarian dictatorship led by militant Christian organizations that actively suppresses and terrorizes anyone who is not cisgender, white, heterosexual and Christian. These groups are the ones clamoring for banning and burning books they don't agree with. They have sadly gotten a huge amount of traction in the leadership of the Republican party, to the point that being any form of conservative in the US means throwing your lot in with this extremist crowd.
Load More Replies...A fairly good rule of thumb is that any organization that uses "liberty" or "freedom" in their name should be regarded with suspicion until thiee true mission an d motives are known. Far too often the freedom and liberty they're interested in is their freedom or liberty to impose their beliefs on others.
Doubt forget the ones with "Patriot" and its variations also.

Life-sized cardboard cut-outs of police officers do the trick as well. If an image of a police officer in a hi-vis jacket, 'using' a speed detector, then the traffic slows down.

F**k The Pointless Bud Light Hate
I don't know what the controversy around Bud Light it, but it's appalling tasting "beer" regardless. Why is American beer like having sex in a canoe? Because they're both f*****g close to water.
There are close to 10,000 breweries in the US, we don't produce one beer. If you can't find one you like, that's on you.
Load More Replies...Ironically, these same people dissing Bud Light LOSE THEIR F^^^^^^ MINDS over cancel culture. Call it what it is folks, it's a boycott. Just like I told my Nephew who was upset about the "no cake baking for gays" folks. Get everyone together and don't buy their s+++. My wife refuses to patronize Chik-Fil- A for the same reason.
As a trans person myself... He has the pass. He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit.
That's one of the great parts of this post! Yes, 'tranny' isn't the best word choice but the person writing that post isn't a politically correct activist, he's just a guy who might be behind on the latest terminology & appears to be heading towards the Boomer age range, but believes love is love, regardless of who you are. He knows the world is f****d up enough already, it doesn't need jerks having hissy fits over a freaking beer commercial. Or terminology. In an Australian-ism, it's about the vibe of the post, not the actual words.

So for those of you who don't know what the controversy is, Bud Light made a personalized can of beer for Trans influencer Dylan Mulvany, who was celebrating a milestone in her career or something. It was ONE (1) can. She showed it in a tik tok or youtube video, and Conservatives lost their minds. They claimed that Anheuser-Busch was now putting pictures of Mulvany on all their beer, and launched a boycott campaign. (Yes, the "anti-cancel-culture" group cancelled Bud light). Celebrity Kid rock released a video of him shooting a case of beer. The campagin was effective and Bud Light no longer publicly supports any LGBTQ causes I am aware of. All because a trans person showed a single personalized can on social media. Sad, isn't it?

Firstly every mother loves and is doing the best she is capable of for her baby/ies, that is indisputable.
