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.

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.

Heck yeah Jenni! 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.

    I had a cat adopted in a family with a little girl with dyslexia. 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.

    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. :(

    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?

    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. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Because there's a long tradition of local government hating skaters and skate parks and doing everything they can to get rid of them.

    Lauren Poe (D) was the mayor of Gainesville, FL in May 2020. This was a common tactic amongst Democrat leaders to prevent gatherings in public spaces at the beginning of the pandemic. Venice Beach, CA did the same thing. Mike Bonin (D) is the Los Angeles city council member who represented Venice at the time.

    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.

    It's a form of "white strike" or "Italian Strike"... Workers follow every rule to the letter and refuse to do anything that is not the bare minimum, hampering productivity and revenue. In this case, the primary job for the drivers is safely drive the vehicle, so they focus on that "forgetting" the secondary task of collecting fares.

    Those who aren’t as automatically willing to commit an act of kindness are also likely plagued by “miscalibrated expectations.” Amit Kumar, an assistant professor at The University of Texas at Austin, conducted a study in 2022 where 75 out of 84 participants gave a cup of hot chocolate to a stranger. 

    The research participants also underestimated the significance of their act, expecting the recipients’ moods to be an average of 2.7 out of 5. However, the recipients reported feeling much better, with a 3.5 out of 5 mood.

    In highways there's sometimes a lane for cars. The requirement is that there more than two people in it. In some states that restrict abortion, pregnant women, traveling alone, have been going, under the reasoning that the fetus is a person, which is absolutely amazing. I wonder if any (cis) woman could in Alabama under their ivf ruling.

    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...

    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

    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 remember camping many years ago, when a bear broke into the bathroom but couldn't get out because the door closed behind him/her. The rangers had to get in through a window and hold the door open while the bear left.

    I believe the original post this pic is based on was actually warning people - if you have ANY moisture issues in your house, DO NOT grow oyster mushrooms as the spores will spread and grow from anywhere moist in your home. It was a long post on Reddit a while back, iirc. Looks like it's been changed to be more of a 'funny' meme photo

    I was still a teenager living in a flat by myself. Landlord assumed he'd hit pay dirt with a stupid kid. The metal bracket broke on the acoustic panel kitchen ceiling dropping it so low I had to walk around the periphery or squat walk. Landlord swung by to look at it and told me it wasn't all that bad, and oh btw, rent is due. I told him I'd pay the rent as soon as the ceiling was repaired, which was within the law.

    The point is to borrow a person that is different to yourself. If you want to know about being gay, or Christian, or Muslim, or transgender you can borrow someone who is that and they will tell you about it, I think it is a brilliant idea, as the internet cannot interact in the same way.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 🍊🍊🍊😊

    That's pretty normal in Denmark too. When it's apple and plum season, we get a LOT of apples and plums. So you just put out the pieces you wanna get rid of. As a bonus, you don't get a garden full of drunk squirrels because everything has been on the ground fermenting.

    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)

    Read about this at the weekend, think it's the church of Satan, fully registered tax paying church so as freely available abortion is part of their religion they have opened this clinic in one of the states where it's banned. Samuel Alito's mother is the woman who started the process to bring down Roe v. Wade. 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.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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. This happens even when people know it's not a real officer. The same thing happens in shops - having a cut-out of a police officer reduced shoplifting.

    I'm torn on this. On one hand - as Debbie said - when it makes people slow down, cool. OTOH, they still haven't learned their lesson and will speed elsewhere. Speeding scum needs to be caught and made to follow the rules - or not to drive at all.

    "Oh, it's such a minor crime, don't you guys have better things to do?" Well, no actually. Speeders kill people all the time - the speed limit they broke was put in place for a reason. It's EASY to speed in a modern car, the throttles are so responsive. That doesn't mean it's OK. If you can't control your vehicle, you don't deserve one.

    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?

    I didn't drink Bud Light before that marketing fiasco, and didn't drink it after either. On the other hand, I did drink the regular Bud before that, and didn't stop when it happened.

    I knew a teacher who did something a bit like this. At our school, you were only allowed to get medicine from the nurse including over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen which is a a really basic pain relief medication that I've carried around since I was like 10. My 18 year old classmate had a headache and really wanted meds but didn't want to spend the 20+ minutes of class time it would take to get to the nurse and back. I not even remembering the rule grabbed some ibuprofen from my purse and offered it to the kid. The teacher rather than intervene and stop me said, "Oh Veryvenasaur I didn't quite catch what you said. I'm going to go get something from my office. Do anything you need to get done and then we'll discuss the reading." (or something like that my memory is not perfect).

Because of those same cruel, miserable people making it unfair. So the solution is to do whatever we can to make life more fair than it currently is. We'll probably never actually achieve that. Life will always be unfair. But every step we take to make it fairer is a step in the right direction.

    Sounds like a scam for someone hoping another customer would pay for the baby food on her behalf. Baby formula is locked up in many stores because people steal it- not because they have starving babies, but because they are going to sell it for easy cash.

    If a client actually knew how to inspect and could actually read HTML, they’d either know better than to not pay, or they’d insist on doing the site themselves (and surely fk it up).

    Do not do this as you could instead get sued and punished for this under "addition of malicious code". There are better ways to solve this problem.

    Someone in my neighborhood did this a few years ago. We live in the suburbs in Southern California, but we're originally from Nebraska. It was very confusing.

    In some US states it is legal to grow a personal amount of Marijuana as long as you don’t sell it. A few pots [sic] on the front porch would work well.

    Sounds like a great idea until you find out that the HOA contract you agreed to without reading it prohibits growing fruits or vegetables in the front yard and doing so will get you a fine of $100 per day.

    Put in native fruits and berries. Many states have laws that HOAs cannot restrict returning your yard to a natural landscape.

    These posts about formula remind me of Nestlévil and their baby formula scandal. I'm amazed they're still in business after doing such horribly unethical things! Unfortunately they're hard to boycott as they have their grubby paws in hundreds of companies.

    Firstly every mother loves and is doing the best she is capable of for her baby/ies, that is indisputable. But isn't it ridiculous that almost all women could feed their babies for free if the system was set up to support this (there are countries where the bf rate is 99%, and obviously the only reason we haven't died out as a species is because almost all women can bf their babies. The reason they can't is that an industry has worked hard over decades to undermine this. And then they price gouge like this?

    When my son was born, my milk never came in. Neither did my sisters when she had her babies, nor did my moms with her 3 pregnancies.. saying almost all women can do this is not true, all the women in my family on my moms side can't do it. Formula made it possible for my family to survive, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the industry telling us we had to use it, we legit HAD to use it.

    Yes there is? Well at least in the UK. It’s called Obtaining a Pecuniary Advantage by Deception under the Fraud Act. So you get a financial reward for lying, which is why you shouldn’t lie to get a job.

    I've done this for a few people, but it's because in New Mexico it's "At-will employment", they can fire you here for absolutely no reason, provide no severance package or even a reference, State protects businesses not its citizens. I've watched several female friends put up with sexual harassment, bullying and abuse because if they complain then they're fired, and it's very hard to take an employer to court here for being fired (i work employment law). When my friends were unceremoniously dumped by a company in a heartbeat, i'd tell them to put me down as a reference, I have my own independent contractors license (which costs like $30 a year) so I'm technically an employer. I tell them to let me know whatever they want me to say: they worked for me for 2yrs, managed my whole office, were a fantastic employee etc., when their new prospective employer calls I tell them everything they want to hear so my friend can get the job. Sometimes two wrongs do make a right.

    The trick is to ask your friend to pay you for a job. Even a penny. Because that's employment, and for the duration, they were in fact your boss and there is no lie at all.

    Wheel weights are those small little oval metal things you see on tire rims. They balance the tire. By putting a strong magnet on the rim of a bad driver, you will cause the weight to be slightly imbalanced. This will cause a mild but very noticeable vibration when driving that will make most people head to the nearest mechanic.
