The Internet could use some kindness, don't you think? We're constantly bombarded by bad news and our own real-life struggles, so a pick-me-up can't hurt now and again. We could use some kindness in real life, too. As a famous CGI movie bear once said, "It doesn't cost me anything to be kind."
This Facebook group lives by a similar motto: "Kind Humour is international and at no one's expense." It's the perfect place for your daily dose of wholesome, and we've got some memes and funny pics from the group to prove it. If you like what you see here, be sure to check out their group, where they do interactive memes, pun challenges, puzzles, and discussions!

There's a video of a dog who lives on a balcony and drops his ball for people to throw it back. He's insanely excited each time and it makes people happy too. This is another good wonderful fur baby pictured here ❤️

He didn’t dance with me but just with some friends of his and in no way was his dancing any part skilful, but, nevertheless, I, being the introvert who doesn’t like to dance, sat by myself and watched him dance out the whole song. It’s an extremely popular love song (English) and I already liked the artist before, but ever since then that song and the artist are my favourites. (Tbh I’ve been too embarrassed to admit this out loud!)
This is beautiful, even though I did at first think it was going to be a really good ramen recipe.

I'm 70 and have loved Indian and Chinese food for virtually all my life. In the very early sixties there were far fewer of these restaurants or take aways but my mum and dad loved trying new foods. This infuriated my Grandfather who was a traditional restauranteur. I was just a child and they would let me have an English dish but I was very soon trying and loving their food.
The playlist... does anyone else still have mix-tapes that someone else made for them a million years ago? I have no way to play them now, but it seems a sin to throw them away.

I always share this when appropriate. As an EMT we were trained in suicide prevention. And, counterintuitively, one of the WORST things you can do is to tell people things like, "it's not so bad." At best, you've just lost all credibility with them. They'll think you aren't listening, that you don't understand. At worst, you can actually push them over the edge as they seek to prove just how bad it is for them. Paradoxically, the best thing you can do is to agree with them. Tell them something like, "Wow, it sounds like things have been really rough for you." Because it shows that you aren't just sweeping things under the rug or trivializing their problems. It allows you to connect. Sometimes just that connection, knowing someone else sees how tough it is and doesn't just treat them like they are weak or their problems are easy to solve, is enough. But at the very least it allows you to then redirect. (cont in reply)
You can then move on to "That's tough, and you've been doing really well making it this far. But maybe together, with my help, we can solve this one thing together, and make your burden a little less?" After that, you can help them get through their difficulties one at a time. But if you treat them like their troubles are simple, like they don't matter, then you'll never help them. You'll never make someone feel better by telling them their problems aren't so bad, or that someone has it worse.

And it's a process to accept that there's nothing I can do for him but be there while he goes through it. It's been a huge test of ourselves and marriage but I've learned to wait with him through it and tell him how I know it hurts, I know it's awful, and I'll be there all the while.
I have TN (trigeminal neuralgia). It sucks, it's nicknamed, "The Suicide Disease." When it's bad, there's not a lot anyone can do. Your husband is lucky to have you. My ex was less than sympathetic.
Load More Replies...Kindness is a thing many of us could use nowadays. The period we're living in is probably the worst in terms of our mental health. 77% of professionals in the U.S. say they feel burnt out at work. Depression rates keep getting higher each year, too. According to a Gallup survey, 29% of Americans are living with lifetime depression. In 2015, that number was only 19%.
The problem is many people are still embarrassed or afraid to talk about the issues they face. According to McLean Hospital, people "believe they are unworthy or should be able to control their symptoms through willpower." That's where kindness comes in -- kindness to understand each other and help each other when the going gets tough.
Our neighbors suck. So I'm glad to see some good neighbors for a change.
Recently we went on a family trip and asked one of our neighbours to feed our cat. My whole family hasn’t been on an overnight trip together in years cause of not being able to leave our cat without food so this was the first time. Our cat is usually very avoidant of strangers. Without knowing any of this beforehand, when we asked our neighbour for the favour, she insisted that she come visit our cat before we left so that she can become friends with her. Then while we were away every time she went to feed her she called us and gave us an update of how she’s doing. She even made up her own adorable names to talk to our cat who doesn’t respond to her name. She was using those names on the many calls she made to us and now even my family uses those names. Also our cat trusted her right away!

Most of my time on Twitter, and BP of course, is looking at animal photos/videos without having to interact with people. It's a win-win.
I always loved music, especially street musicians. When I was a kid, I stopped at every street musician we could meet. My parents never stopped me. I never danced but I was just like mesmerized by the music and seeing someone playing it for real. I remember one day when I was 7 ou 8, we were at a restaurant, eating outside during holydays, and a man came with his guitar to play in the street. I stopped eating and watched him. He finally saw me and came by to play. He stayed a little, all smiling, winked at me then went back in another street. I was so proud ! In my little autistic girl's head, he had played just for me !
my dad's an amateur guitarist and piano player and I have so many fond childhood memories of just sitting next to him transfixed as he played his favorite songs and sang along. it still cheers me so much to hear him play those same songs I heard my whole childhood. hearing music played live is a magical thing.

Why exactly do we need kindness, you ask? Well, when someone's nice or sweet to us, it has a physical effect. Kind acts decrease our blood pressure and the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. It also has an impact on our mental health. Kindness boosts our levels of serotonin and dopamine.
When we show kindness, our brain may also release endorphins, the body's natural painkiller, and they increase feelings of well-being. Kind acts also help us feel less lonely and more connected to others. It may even be contagious, as we might be encouraged to do good, kind acts in return.
I have some Xanthorrhoea (Grass trees) in my garden. When they are in flower (September) the bees love them, as do the indigenous Noisy Miner honeyeaters. Last year I watched as one of these birds made its way up the flower stalk snatching bees and dropping them on the ground. Noisy Miners are the hooligans of the bird world.
A Hummingbird with Four Bees would have been a great name for a 70's soft-rock band. (Sorry, these posts are too wholesome--I can't seem to come up with my normal sarcastic comments.)
The bees would still be safe. Hummingbirds are nectarivores and only feed on nectar ;)

His whole face lit up and I could see his tail start to swing from side to side. The car drove off and we were still looking at each other, I swear both of us still smiling.
I've started taking my dogs with me more often nowadays. Stilgar can't sit upright for long (he has some physical issues from having distemper as a puppy), so he goes in the middle area of my van, and Fenring sits up in the passenger seat. I've honestly thought about getting a custom vinyl sticker made for the side of my van that says "If you see a dog in this window - his name is Fenring!" IMG_8679-6...d32030.jpg
Look, I know I've sat through 3 green lights, but there's a dog in the next car named Checkers.
And Checkers continues to light up the world by bringing me vicarious joy
My dog started making happy noises..i looked around to see what had got his happy attention It was young Chinese girl,talking to my dog in the back seat..made two,crew very happy her and the doggle..
I have a sticker of a Lab's head on the window of my back seat on the driver side. Stopped at a light one day, I heard a small dog barking. Rolled down the window and saw people in next car had a small dog on their lap barking furiously at my "Lab". She was laughing and trying to tell the dog it wasn't real so I rolled the window down and he stopped.
Awwww! My sister and I saw a dog sticking their head out the car window a couple days ago. Made my whole day.

Reminds me of a super-storm we had locally a few years ago, just about evening rush-hour. The highway closed in front of the traffic, and then closed behind the traffic as well.

Huge tailback this weekend on a motorway following a major crash. Took much longer to clear thanks to kids playing frisbee and football. Worse by far were some people who abandoned their cars and made their way to the nearby service station.
I did something similar with my dog. He had a habit of bringing in a piece of mulch to chew on. I'd trade him a small treat so I could get the wood from him. Now when he's feeling peckish, he'll go outside, pick up a bit of mulch, come inside and drop it by the table that holds the treat bowl. Then stare at me.
Hopefully your fridge doesn't have the ice thing on the outside. I knew a dog that also loved ice cubes, and her people's fridge has the ice maker chute on the outside, and she would randomly go over and get herself an ice cube.
Saw that coming. Had a cat I worked hard to train not to be noisy for attention. Moved back in with my parents, they thought the meows were cute. I warned them, but that damn cat trained them within a week to respond to meows with treats. Me, she rarely bothers because she knows damn well I only give treats for good behaviour. A year or so in they were completing about how loud she is! I indulged in the pleasure of being a smug a*****e for awhile before demonstrating to them what I already had demonstrated a year ago: teaching a cat not to beg for attention. WAY HARDER when it has already learned the opposite, btw.
I want to know what is it with dogs and ice cubes , My Boxers were addicted to them.
In that case you should release your own dish soap called Hector. Because Hector kicked Ajax but on multiple occasions. Also Ajax ends up "unaliving" himself (which isn't great for him). Hector is of course killed by Achilles, who is then done in by Paris, who is then killed by Philoctetes. But I guess trying to market a soap with the slogan "Philoc-Titties is stronger than Paris which is stronger than Achilles which is stronger than Hector which is stronger than Ajax which is stronger than Grease", is probably not going to go over well.
Load More Replies...Ajax is the name of a Dutch football club. So many jokes can be made...
But their slogan was "stronger than dirt", not "stronger than grease".
As Charlotte Armitage, a media and business psychologist, explained to Stylist, it's because in order to show kindness, we have to be vulnerable. "Those who go out of their way to help another are seen as weak because it appears as though they are putting the needs of someone else before their own needs," she explained.
Then I'd take them all home and my mother would tell me to take them back to where they came from.

We have found just about every kind of critter around here in them, or playing with them. But the bobs and TNR ferals we have are in them most often.
I remember a documentary, where they offered cardboard boxes to felines of all sizes and sorts. It never failed. Same team tested mirrors on them, to find out if they would recognize themselves. IIRC only the tigers did, and one tigress was deeply examining her face. Very impressive.
This lion is Sterk from Oaklawn Farm Zoo in Aylesford, Nova Scotia! Unfortunately, it closed this year after 40 years. :(
For other people, kindness is also not cool. According to clinical psychologist Barbara Greenberg, parents nowadays raise 'strong' children instead of empathetic kids. "In many households that is synonymous with taking care of yourself, with little emphasis on the feelings of others." She says that people perceive bad and mean characters on television as 'cool and strong.'

However, experts say that it's quite the opposite. Those who are able to show kindness can show vulnerability and don't have to hide behind barriers of sarcasm and irony. In short, they feel secure in the way they are as a person.

"To truly offer kindness shows a level of psychological strength and resilience which is grounded in acceptance of oneself. This level of acceptance requires a significant amount of internal strength and takes hard work to achieve," Armitage explained to Stylist.

Exactly! Costumes/clothes aren't a good choice for EVERY pet, no, but SOME pets do actually *enjoy* wearing them. My dog Stilgar was very sick as a puppy (distemper), so we had to put him in sweaters to keep him warm. He quickly realized that all the staff at the vets would fuss over him and give him tons of attention when he was wearing a sweater. Now he LOVES wearing clothing/costumes because he knows darn well people will ooh and ahh over him XD He will actually refuse to go for a walk unless I put his baseball cap on. I keep it on its own hook and he'll actually shove his head into it when I bring it over to him. If costumes are not kept too long on a pet and aren't too tight/small/hurting the animal, and they allow it, dressing up a pet is fine. It hurts literally no one. stillyhat-...9e95b1.jpg

Ah yes... the pebbles. I remember watching that documentary - and I forever remember Attenborough's voice stating that when a particularly artless/slow penguin can't find good pebbles... they turn to a life of crime, nicking pebbles from other's collections. I still find it funny.
Attenborough is the best nature documentary reader ever

No, no. At least twice. Once the first time around, and twice for after you poop it out. Gotta eat it again - and the poop - just in case it's edible THIS time. Signed, someone who has a puppy XD

Can someone please explain how this is working? I can't for the life of me figure it out.
Two cats. One is in the box, the one that's not in the box its head is at an angle where it's not visible in the photo

I would've screamed too. Not to mention I'm 1000 % a cat-person and don't want dog slobber on me...
To be fair, some things seem to never get done. I'm looking at you dirty dishes in the sink 😠
And even when you do them they need to be done again. Stupid dishes.

It's regret for taking things too seriously, trying too hard and focusing on the wrong things - and not having the energy to say 'yes' - or the foresight at just how quick time really does go. So now they get to do for the g'kids what they would've like to have done for you.
I lived with my grandmother while I was attending college, and I can tell you there is a HUGE difference between just visiting Grandma and actually living with her.
Hopefully she doesn't put the fan on.....or maybe that was her devious plan all along.
Just waiting for my human to get done so she/he gets done so it can give me attention.
I think i saw the muppet version too many times, and I was about to say “so.. 5?”
Load More Replies...Well, it is correct when you really think about it. Or five, if your choice falls on the Muppet version.
Absolutely four: Marley is a ghost too. Your office sucks and they OWE you!.
If they want the answer to be three they should specify ghosts of Christmas
Five in the Muppet version, don't forget Jacob's brother, Robert Marley
I long ago gave up on beds in general; remaking the bed was one of the reasons XD I sleep on a Japanese futon on the floor now and just whomp a regular sheet over it (it also has a zip-on cover.)
Load More Replies...It once took two of us 30 minutes to sort out a black plastic bag because we had to bend the laws of physics
Goblin - our tripaw kitty - loooooves changing sheet day so I'm pretty sure he has something to do with the extra corners.
Does an inspector come to check that that label is at the lower left and not at the upper right? Does it change how the bed feels? Are we over-thinking a bit?
I enjoy watching people fold a fitted sheet for the same reason I like to watch a magician saw his assistant in half. I know that neither is possible in real life, but I enjoy seeing someone trying to create the illusion.
My dad had an accident when I was 18 and he sustained catastrophic brain damage. We decided to take care of him at home and had a full-on hospital-type bed with rails. I was one of his primary caregivers and was often the only one watching him during the day. He would wet the bed sometimes (even though he wore diapers and we used a urinal on him) so I'd often be changing the bed a couple of times a day/doing laundry. I used to struggle with folding the fitted sheets. One time I looked over at my dad sitting in his wheelchair waiting while I remade his bed. He was watching me. When he saw me looking at him, he laughed at me. I handed him the sheet and jokingly said "Okay, YOU do it." He looked at me, chuckled, and just wadded it into a ball with his good hand (he couldn't move his right arm/hand much.) So that was how I folded the fitted sheets from then on. XD When my mom got mad, I just told her that Dad had shown me how to fold them. I agree, it's impossible to actually do it XD

My wife never lets me forget one I shared with her...she and my daughter wrecked my truck and were repairing the front end with bobby pins. She refuses to drive it as a result. At least I don't have to re-position the seat if she did...&%$#*! smurf!
I spent the better part of a day mad at the man I was already married to. In my dream, he said the only way he would marry me was in a parking lot. I was angry because my dress was too nice for a parking lot. He kept saying, "It was a dream, I didn't say it," but it felt so real. It took awhile for me to let that go.
Maybe that kid is on to something! We can't dismiss something before we try it!
She’s allowing her kids to make their own decisions. I think that’s pretty good parenting.
For school meal purposes, that's one serving of fruit and one of vegetable, so doing well.
As long as your toddler doesn't put it on hot dogs, you're doing fine as a parent.
I play the Warhammer 40,000 miniature wargame. This is spot-on for the Adeptus Mechanicus (a technology-worshipping cargo cult).
So she's had a little work done, who are we to judge?

It's always a bad idea because thieves can use them. You wouldn't imagine the little spaces those criminals used to enter homes.
....but then you realize it is the perfect excuse to go home! No good time will ever outweigh being home with my pupper!
Hold on a dang minute. Are you saying that people on the Internet tell lies about things they've said or done? I'm outraged. Never using it again.

Chop them up nice and fine. In a skillet, put some oil. I use a bit of olive for flavor, and canola since its healthier for the bulk. Toss in the chopped garlic, saute until soft. Off heat, throw in a bunch of cherry tomatoes. I like the 'sugar bomb' brand, very flavorful. Lightly coat in lowry's seasoned salt. A squirt of lemon juice. Some rosemary, basil and thyme. Salt and pepper. A dash of celery salt. And last, just a hint of cayenne. Not enough to make it spicy, just enough to make the rest pop. Cook until the tomatoes soften, but not turn to mush. Makes a great side dish, and can be served hot or cold.
Put salt and a little bit of oil on them. Then in the oven they go. Roast them until brownish and enjoy. Yum!!!
what weird recipe would that be ? None of them were suspicious ? okay, after a quick, here's a bunch of "stories" with that picture. https://lens.google.com/search?ep=gsbubb&hl=fr&re=df&p=AbrfA8rKvEoO5XaNGQgj2P4ltEbvqk6YNjWQcwaCc8WDm3SmyzTrpCwICyEhQnCLM0goVtxHfkGf0fzu-sdu_lwYkU_rHrX7EhAM7E1H0jbFV6mjI77Ox8DvSTMiCiDtGm59u4vWSC3RWitEUnHjL_2u7wIjvT1FJdAN2SpP4aTsPBksM9HPrmPqlooAXRc7Ok9PYlPYkNY6myCvrQ%3D%3D#lns=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDEsIkVrY0tKR1F4TjJabFltUmtMVEpqTW1JdE5EY3laQzA0TWprekxUTmxOemM1TXpWbU1qZ3hZeElmU1RaUlQzWlZWbEkzZFRSVFRVbG5SM0JuU1V4dVVEQkpkMU0wTTBkNGF3PT0iLG51bGwsbnVsbCxbW251bGwsbnVsbCwiaXAtMTgiXSxbIjJiZGE0MDE4LWJjNTItNDQxMi04NTVkLTc5ZGE4YTAzZThjNCJdXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxbbnVsbCxudWxsLFtdXSxbIjJiZGE0MDE4LWJjNTItNDQxMi04NTVkLTc5ZGE4YTAzZThjNCJdXQ==
