We had a massive dictionary when I was a child, I loved flipping pages open to a random spot to find new words.
David 1 year ago (edited)
Oh wow! I lived this one! (sort of). (background) My grandmother was a librarian. My mom read to me every day at nap time (and other times) and the two together I credit for my love of books and word meanings and origins and such. -- ANYWHO... On my 7th birthday my grandmother gave me a Webster's unabridged dictionary. One of those ones that's like six inches thick. I spent many hours reading it, learning new words, reading the explanations of the source of the word etc. Plus it has some cool maps and charts / tables in the back. That was over 50 years ago. I STILL HAVE IT. These days the print looks smaller than I remember and I tend to just google words online, but it has sentimental value. So many wonderful worlds opened up to me by being given the gift of loving to read. Okay, enough mush. But it triggered some happy memories.

I was reading at 4 or so, and a question in the library when I was 7 unlocked the world for me "How do I find a book?" Instead of finding it for me, the librarian took me to the card catalog and showed me how it worked. I miss card catalogs. The serendipity of the cards in front of and behind the one being looked for.

Looks like a lil cartoon dog, so so adorable and cute, will look at this pic and the video of the kitten tapping paws on vet window to keep me happy when im feeling down 😍
Wholesomeness is all the rage now, didn't you know? The "Heck, this is wholesome" group on Facebook has more than 1.9 million members. If that's not a testament to how the internet is going gaga over wholesome content at the moment, I don't know what is.
Interestingly, the internet wasn't always the place to go for earnestness and wholesomeness. Even dog and cat pictures, a staple of the early World Wide Web, had a certain edge to them; one of the main requirements was that the picture had to be funny, with the pet either doing something derpy or acting like a human.

Teaching a kid not to be pressured into something they don't want to do, whether it's by adults or their peers, is a very good lesson.

I can relate. Used to sing my girls (single dad don't judge) "In the year 2525" they freakin' love that song to this day.

Nothing better than when your kid asks questions about stuff you love talking about, especially if it us science or engineering. My kid loves to hear all about viruses in sewage.

For most of their history, memes have been absurdist, surrealist and sometimes even required in-depth insider knowledge of the internet. Memes were like living organisms, evolving through time. But how did this shift from dank and ironic to nice and wholesome happen? And, more importantly, why?
Amanda Brennan, multimedia journalist, curator of Tumblr's fandom trends, and former contributor to Know Your Meme, says wholesome memes began to take center stage because our understanding of what the internet is for has changed. If before, it was about fake identities and sarcasm, today, it's all about authenticity.

I love foxes! Had a mom and dad come through our forest, behing the house, with 9 or 10 little ones. they were climbing up logs, falling and rolling down the other side and just having a great time. Parents kinda looked tired.

Humans should learn this important life skill of just loafing up and being happy.

"I think people are getting more in touch with presenting their authentic personalities online rather than presenting what they feel like they should be on social media," Brennan told Vox. "On Tumblr, authentic actions come first. You're there for whatever thing you love the most — animals, TV shows, musicians, your favorite ship. People are starting to realize that maybe it's okay to be that authentic version of yourself everywhere on the internet."

So I don't know if this is the Mandela effect or just me being a dumbass but I swear when Ice Age first came out he was called Squirat or Squrat or something like that because I remember as a kid thinking he was half squirrell half rat. I was literally about to start correcting people on this post but thought I'd Google it to be sure and I'm glad I did because now I'm eating humble pie 😅 Does anyone else remember this or did I just make it up? 👀🤣

I took my nephew (then 5) on his first trip to the bowling alley. After the first few minutes, he looked around the lanes and asked, "Are we playing against all these people?"
Other digital culture experts are saying that "wholesome" is the ultimate Gen Z compliment. Some even say that the word itself means something different to Gen Z. The Merriam-Webster defines 'wholesome' as "promoting mental or moral health and well-being" and "promoting health of body." But on the internet, it doubles as a synonym for "endearing."

That's why we laugh out loud so much more when watching funny movies/plays/shows/whatever with other people than we do alone. Nailed it. 😊
Riley Quinn 1 year ago
This is the one good thing I remember about my ex. When times were good, we laughed and giggled until our stomachs hurt.
"The word 'wholesome' now reflects something more positive, accepting, and feel-good," Julia Mathews, the president of King's College London Wholesome Society, told The Standard. "Perhaps this is in part due to Gen Z's awareness of the importance of wellbeing and mental health, as well as a desire for positivity in a world with increasingly negative mainstream content."

I hope they come in bigger sizes. This 1 would fit my little 6.5 lb Himalayan cat. My 70 & 85 lb German Shepherd mixes could use it as a pillow

I had lots of cats, so I would go to the carpet store downtown and get carpet samples no longer in stock. The store was glad to be rid of them, and my cats loved them. Tacked a few on the walls for scratching, a few for lining cubby boxes, some for sleeping, and, of course, occasional magic carpet rides along the floor.

My pediatrician would give me a tri-colored lolly, and as a child who rarely got sweets, I would do anything he asked for it.

That's so sweet, hopefully he doesn't get upset when he asks about the tests later! Lol
Perhaps people finally realized that being mean online doesn't make you feel any happier? Yes, we're prone to negativity bias, those who have a negative outlook on the world actually are at a disadvantage. One study of 180 nuns in Milwaukee found that joyful nuns live longer than their gloomy counterparts. So, would you rather be cringe or live longer?

My Dad tolerated the cats we had, growing up. He was never cruel, he looked after them but was indifferent to them. When I moved back home from university, I brought my cat, Archie, with me. Dad fell in love with Archie, who was clever, funny and mischievous. Archie, in turn, adored my Dad. They had 5 wonderful years together, then Archie died. I'll never forget my Dad asking me "When will it stop hurting that he's gone?"

Some people also suggest that we've turned to wholesomeness as a form of resistance. Letty Cole, creative strategist at MØRNING and editor of Burn After Reading, also told The Standard: "Think and hope wholesome content is a true reflection of our desires to go outside, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy our planet."

Me today; Every case of autism is different, my case involves getting into spaces that are not much larger than me, it's a fun compulsion. Sometimes I surprise people because they didn't expect someone wedged into a tight space for no reason. I've never gotten myself stuck doing this.

The New York Times suggests that wholesomeness is not just a trend; it's a generational value. Michèle Lamont, a sociology professor at Harvard, told the NYT that Gen Z became adults under COVID-19, and that's why they focus on positivity in order to overcome the hardships.

When a uni friend of mine visited my home town she absolutely loved it. She had never been to a small rural farming town and thought that it was great that you could say hello/wave to random strangers and they were cool with it. She loved how small town culture is kinda old fashioned and community centered. It was great “Go Blue Jays!” 😅

Back when I was a cubicle resident doing project management, I would often get quite angry with some management type or other, but was powerless to do anything about it. Instead I would walk down to the end of the parking lot and look at the giant baobab tree that grew there. Been there hundreds of years, and no doubt seen some s#it. Made it through despite it. It always gave me hope for the next day.

Small tip for you ppl who want to share pic like this but hate BP censoring everything. In this image link, near the end, there are two underscores, word "censored" and another two underscores. Remove the word and one pair of the underscores and voila. Like so for this pic: 1304802255...g__700.jpg

Hopecore videos on TikTok are another form of wholesome content online. What a few years ago would've been branded as cringe and laughable is now providing much-needed comfort to people. Louisa McGillicuddy, the trends lead at TikTok, told The Independent that people don't just watch these videos – they save a high save ratio too. "It's almost like stockpiling affirmations," McGillicuddy noted.

I love when my cat goes out in the snow. He takes a few careful steps, gets mad, then attacks the snow which make him more mad and his rage just builds endlessly till I pick him up. Door 6 inches behind me? Don't care, I'm gonna smack this white stuff till it warms up like I want.
