    How awesome! Imagine knowing you've touched someone like that. And for him to let her know -- I just have the happy feels right now.

    Often, wholesomeness hits that much harder when we least expect it. It’s an unfortunate reality, that interacting with a business can be exhausting and time-consuming, when it comes to refunds, sorting out shipping issues and replacements, and any other customer service topics. So when a company makes “going above and beyond” not just the purview of a hardworking employee, but policy, people tend to notice. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Take Zappos, the American online shoe and clothing retailer. Beyond a commitment to customer convenience, like a 365-day return policy and free shipping on a number of transactions, the company rewards workers who go the extra mile for their customers. For example, they reportedly had a 10:29 hour customer service call, when a client forgot about a return request when a loved one unexpectedly passed. Zappos sent a replacement for free and some flowers, after waiting on the line.

    Even the non-human world is actually full of wholesome moments if you just know where to look. The animal kingdom, for example, is chock full of things that make us go “aww,” but most people stop at kittens and puppies. But all sorts of animals do things that are both fascinating and deeply cute. Otters holding hands is a classic, but did you know that honey bees have dance-offs

    Cows also maintain friendships and like to hang out with their best friends whenever they can. Even more committed, penguins, along with a lot of other birds, mate for life, and will even “propose” to a mate, often with a pebble. Of course, some birds really do take it to the extreme when it comes to impressing a potential mate, for example, building art displayed, fighting rivals, or even very intense forms of dance

    Squirrels and bats both have social systems to take care of orphans. Squirrels will adopt babies whose parents have died and carry them around like their own offspring. Various species of bats do the same, while the most organized version are “bat orphanages,” where groups of bats roost together and females come to feed orphaned babies. These are highly social animals with a pretty advanced solution to this problem.

    There are countless other examples of things, creatures, and even people that are and act wholesome, an emotion that makes us happy and shows us that there is something good in the world. For all the chaos and negativity on the internet (and, really, everywhere,) digital communication lets us spread these ideas and images. In a sense, it promotes wholesomeness, as often selfless behavior goes unrewarded and unseen.

    The human need for this sort of content is reflected in the trends we see on TikTok, Twitter, and yes, even here on Bored Panda. Wholesome, joyful images, memes, and stories are all a salve against doom-scrolling and other words we use to describe the omnipresence of negative content, fear-mongering, and rage bait. The ubiquity and common, everyday use of those words shows just how far “internet negativity” has penetrated our collective psychology.

    fun fact-most dogs are allergic to chocolate, but some are not and, while they cannot eat it safely, but will not die (much of this is dependent on weight) my friends dog apparently got into the fridge and ate a WHOLE GODDAMN CHOCOLATE CAKE and was fine afterwards.

    My English teacher brought our high school class a box of Swiss miss and a kettle of hot water during the winter months. And you know what? We were so hyped up that someone thought of us and brought us a treat. Just telling y’all- the way to a high schoolers heart is through the stomach

    My niece who is a teacher just spent over $30 out of her own pocket to purchase special decor and other goodies for an "end of year" beach day. $30 doesn't sound like much, but she does this many times during the year. The amount of money teachers spend to help make their lessons more engaging, and their classrooms attractive, their lesson plans more hands on would boggle the mind of anyone working in the corporate world. We treat our teachers so poorly and pay them worse; they are heros.

    If you've ever seen a picture comparison between a basic federally funded US classroom and a classroom funded from a teacher's pocket, you get it. Sometimes I really dislike my students, but I still buy them what they need -- be it food, school supplies, clothes, etc.

    My kids are out of school, but I still stock up on school supplies every year. Used to donate to my kids schools. Now it goes to the closest elementary school in August and January. Older sister was a teacher until this year and she spent so much for her kids. Especially keeping snacks & drinks, feminine hygiene items, school supplies, socks, gloves, scarves and jackets. No idea how she did it.

    We did that for the kids at my wife's school. And food too. Hardest part was they needed so much more and would ask to bring essentials home to their family cause they were hungry or didn't have necessities either.

    i'm not sure if i'll get super downvoted for this, but i watch 911 and i recently heard there is a big group of buddie shippers that are mad because the show is supposedly queerbaiting. Some of their arguments consist in Eddie screaming Buck's name when Buck was struck by a lightning and them holding hands when Buck was pulling Eddie from a colapsing building. All I see is a very nice and rare type of friendship, where one is constantly there for the other, and I find very sad that some people are not used to this anymore. I remember McDanno's friendship from hawaii 5-0 and i really wish more shows had this kind of relationship again, but i'm not certain if it wouldn't get mistaken for something else and hated on.
