50 Wholesome Posts Coming To You Straight From The Safest And Kindest Community On The Internet
Interview
Kindness comes in many ways. For some, it's a "Bless you!" from a stranger after they sneeze. For others, it's volunteering at the animal shelter. On average, one American commits five good deeds a month, according to a 2019 poll. These include holding the door for a stranger, helping with directions, and even paying for someone else's meal.
We here at Bored Panda like to make the world a kinder place by sharing the good deeds of others. Wholesome and altruistic people deserve to get their flowers, so we took a trip to the "Just Wholesome" subreddit and picked out the most heartwarming and uplifting stories for you to enjoy!
We also got in touch with one of the community's moderators, Sally G., aka u/InitialConclusion507. She kindly agreed to tell us how the subreddit came to be, why wholesome content is so important in today's world, and what it's like being the sleuth of wholesomeness. Read our conversation with her below!

When A Desperate 71-Year-Old Passenger Mentioned He Was In Urgent Need Of A Kidney Transplant, His Uber Driver Made An Extraordinary Decision: To Become His Donor

Joy Is Always Possible
Roxy222uk 3 months ago
I love this. The repetition of doing a task that is so familiar would be so comforting in the moment. I once learned of a wonderful care home that had problems with a woman that got up in the night (day and night differentiation can go with dementia), wandered into the kitchen, and turned the taps on. Instead of finding ways to prevent her entering the kitchen or even from leaving her room, they realised this action had meaning to her. When the staff chatted with her family they explained that for many years she cooked school dinners, and when she started her shift one of the first things she did was scrub the potatoes. So every night they left out a bowl of water ready drawn, some potatoes, and a scrubbing brush.

My sister had Parkinson’s and dementia. Sometimes she would get very agitated. The nurses would give her washcloths to fold. They would take them when she was finished, go to the next room, fluff them and take them back to her. Fold an repeat. This is where experience from highly trained and caring nurses come in.

One of the moderators for r/justwholesome is u/InitialConclusion507, whose real name is Sally George. The Redditor created the community after unsuccessful attempts at posting wholesome content on other dedicated subreddits. "Because of various conditions, like having high karma, sharing original content only, and other restrictions, I decided to create my own subreddit," Sally tells Bored Panda.
But r/justwholesome isn't the only place on the internet where Sally shares wholesome content. She's also the editor of a wholesome and heartwarming community called Nostalgic Grandma, which is also dedicated to sharing positive and inspirational stories. Nostalgic Grandma was Sally's first pursuit, and the Reddit community came after: indeed, there's always demand for more positivity in the world!

It's a horror scenario in Turkey! In 2024, politicians passed a law that EVERY dog that lives freely on the street should be m******d. They k**l dogs and cats, bury some of the animals alive, catch them and lock them up in so-called animal shelters. There is no water, no food – the dogs fight, k**l and eat each other. Germany and other European countries are trying to save as many animals as possible. Donations, foster homes and animal shelters outside the country work around the clock. People who are observed feeding the dogs and cats are called by the police and high penalties await them. They set fire to the house of an old animal rights activist in Istanbul. The woman (83) and seven dogs are burned. It's hell for free-roaming dogs and cats in Turkey!

My dad moved to England as part of the windrush generation, the only jobs he could get for a long while were menial factory labour, despite being a fully qualified teacher. Eventually after around 15 years he got his first job teaching, then managed to finish his career as the head teacher of a prominent fee paying school. Gave me the confidence to never give up on a dream.
On the Nostalgic Grandma website, Sally introduces herself as a psychologist who aims "to share uplifting stories that inspire, encourage, and remind us of the good in the world."
"My goal was simple: to share positive and wholesome stories, and also link them to my blog for readers who want to read more about the story," Sally tells Bored Panda, explaining more about why she decided to create a separate subreddit. "I didn't expect it, but the group grew to 22k members very quickly because I would post wholesome stories daily."
"I often feature stories of reunions, lonely elderly people finding support, couples rediscovering love, kindness of strangers at McDonald's or a parking lot, unexplained miracles, like having a child at 70 years old, or someone winning an unexpected lottery," Sally says, sharing the basics of her content.
"After all, who doesn't enjoy a little wishful thinking, hoping that they will win a million-dollar lottery one day?"

Of course, it's also a platform for many niche interests, like cats, fashion, food, and culture, so it's not hard to carve out a niche for yourself in the realm of wholesomeness.

A Man Reunited With His 19-Year-Old Cat, Seven Years After The Pet Went Missing
Multa Nocte 3 months ago (edited)
This happened to a friend of mine just last month. His cat was missing for three years, he got a call to come get him (70 kilometres away) because he was micro-chipped, and as my friend was washing and cleaning the cat, he said the cat seemed to all of the sudden recognise him and started crying and snuggling up to him real hard, and trying to crawl into his arms. VERY sweet.
Drop Bear from Hell 3 months ago
From Reddit: Robert lost his cat while preparing to move from California to Ohio. When the cat disappeared, Robert was devastated. He even abandoned his moving plans to stay back and search for his beloved companion. Despite countless attempts, he never found a trace of the missing cat and eventually had no choice but to accept the painful loss. Seven years later, a woman spotted an ill-looking cat and brought it to a veterinarian. That’s when Robert finally received the phone call he had been waiting for all along. “I was afraid there was some kind of mistake,” Robert said in this reunion video. But the moment he saw his cat again, he broke down in tears, leaving many on the internet in tears as well.

Nutrition is important. Fat is good for the brain. When I had a serious grad school essay test I would go out for a BLT with extra bacon. In various positions I've worked teachers spend a lot of their own $ to make sure kids have supplies. And there are a lot of community backpack/supplies outreach. Food shelves give bags to parents who are struggling. Please find these options in your community. Little book houses are the best, and they are on google maps.

"It's more convenient for the reader to scroll an interest-based subreddit than manually searching for it on Google.

Toddler Dresses As The Queen For Halloween, Gets A Surprise Letter From Windsor Castle

“The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for your letter, and for the photograph you enclosed,” the letter read. “Her Majesty thought it kind of you to write to her, and The Queen was pleased to see the photograph of your daughter, Jalayne, in her splendid outfit.”
Sally also believes that Reddit communities can be a great source of inspiration. "You’ll often see a story shared on Reddit one day, then circulating on Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms the next," she says regarding their virality aspect.
"Overall, it's an ecosystem and subreddits that share positive and wholesome stories exist to add a much-needed layer of positivity to the existing humanity," she adds.

As an editor and the wholesome subreddit curator, Sally relies on a mix of sources. "[It's] news websites to find and verify stories, Pinterest for recommendations within a similar niche, and hashtags like #wholesome or #faithinhumanity to discover new content."
"From there, I compile these stories into a blog for readers who want to spend more time exploring multiple uplifting narratives, and then I share them on my subreddit."
Sally has found that putting more effort into researching and verifying often yields better results. "I try to follow this principle rather than taking the easier route of reposting content that has just appeared on other Reddit communities or Instagram," the creator says.

When the hurricane devastated NC, a truckload of generators was sent for people with medical issues that required power and were still living in their homes. The sheriffs department broke into the truck in the middle of the night and stole nearly all of them. When the truck driver confronted them the next morning (one generator sitting in a sheriffs dept pick-up on plain view) they basically threatened him with arrest if he didn't get in his truck and leave. Best I remember, out of 32 generators, 3 actually made it to the people they were intended for. The amount of corruption involved with that storm is staggering and nothing was ever done about any of it.

Their secret to happiness is simple: "Just contentment... with what you have, what you're doing." They have shared their journey with the world, and their story continues to inspire many. In 2018 they celebrated their 86th wedding anniversary. At the time John Betar was 107 years old, and Ann Betar was 103 years old.

In 2015, A Woman Took Bmw’s April Fools’ Day Advertisement At Its Word, And Ended Up Winning A Brand-New Bmw With The Number Plate “Nof00l.”
A New Zealand newspaper had published the campaign under its April Fools’ Day Special section. The ad promised a free BMW to the first person who showed up at a dealership with their own car and the newspaper ad in hand.
Most people assumed it was just another April Fools’ prank, until one woman actually took the company at its word. Tianna Marsh drove her 15-year-old station wagon to the showroom at 5:30 a.m. local time. To her delight, she was rewarded with a brand-new BMW worth nearly US $37,000, complete with the cheeky plate “NOF00L.”
“We wanted to turn the tables and reward the first person who was willing to take the chance,” said BMW spokesman Ed Finn.
The company later uploaded the moment to its YouTube channel, with the message: “Happy April Not Such a Fool.”
She could be a good reminder of taking a chance on yourself, especially when you have nothing to lose.

I Took My Dad To The Match Fulfilling A 20+ Year Promise
This past Sunday was the Gold cup Mexico vs USA, my dad and I have been dreaming about going to one of the games, specifically with these two countries. We live in the US but my parents were immigrants from Mexico. My dad told me when I was around 7-8 that he would take me to go see fútbol match one day. Unfortunately he passed away 4 years ago and I told my family I was going to watch the game on Sunday. (On the tv.)
I told my husband about the game and what I’ll be doing Sunday over the phone since he’s working out of town. I did tell my husband I was planning to do something for my dad’s birthday on Monday which was eat some pizza and watch his favorite movies.
Not even 20 minutes that we hung up the phone, he took it upon himself and searched where the game is going to be held at. We live around the Dallas area and the game was going to be held at the NGR stadium at Houston which is like a 3-4 hour drive. My husband told me to go to the match instead. He convinced me by saying, “I will be fulfilling the promise and you’ll be celebrating his birthday by doing something he loved doing with you.”
I’m tearing up writing this but honestly it was a great experience it felt like my dad was there. Plus Mexico winning it was so emotional and I just wished my dad was here to watch it with me.
