50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day Whenever you see something go wrong in the world -- either a natural disaster, an accident, or a man-made crisis -- it's very easy to focus on the negatives. The tremendous loss of life. The monsters who thought an act of terrorism would help their cause. The mismanagement that made things worse. The people looting and profiteering from other people's misery. It's easy to get disparaged and see only the worst of humanity.

But there are always, *always* people going out of their way to help their fellow man. The people who ran into the towers on 9/11 to ensure that as many people as possible got out. The people who hid Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust. The Choctaw Nation Americans who sent a donation to Ireland in the wake of the potato famine in order to help in any way they could. People queuing up to donate blood in the wake of a mass shooting or other natural disaster. People who try their absolute level best to change the systems that led to these problems in the first place, throwing everything they can into protests and political action to try and make the world a better place. These actions are almost always done not for glory or rfor personal profit, but because it's the right thing to do. And it happens everywhere, every time, in every country around the globe.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day First one that comes to mind is something along the lines of this

During the Second World War an American B-17 (I think it was the Flying Fortress) was trying to make her way back home heavily damaged.

A German 109 (fighter) saw it and decided to investigate. The pilot noticed the guns weren’t manned and the insane amount of damage the plane had (a good chuck of fuselage was missing along the side). Flew up beside the bomber and caught eye-contact with the American pilot. He waved.

The German pilot then escorted the bomber back to American territory where the German pilot waved off.




These two pilots met each other after the war and became friends

One of my cats used to stick her tail up in the air and wiggle it quickly whenever she saw me. She also, when she saw us come home, ran out the backyard, jumped up onto the patio roof, jumped through the bathroom window, ran downstairs to greet us at the door just inside when we opened it every single time we got home.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day I've got a pair of cardinals that come to the feeder every day. I noticed that sometimes the male feeds the female. The female quickly shakes her tail feathers and the male responds by picking up a seed in his beak and feeding it to the female. I learned that this is part of their mating behavior. It allows the male to "practice" feeding because he'll have to fill in for the female when she occasionally leaves the nest with the hatchlings in it. Plus it's just adorable.

Somebody from Billy Joel’s team came up to us and asked if we would like to sit up front (second row), of course we happily agreed.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day This probably isn't the MOST wholesome but it's the first I thought of. In this era of evil corporate overlords let's remember Saran Wrap. Have you noticed that Saran Wrap kinda sucks these days? It seems like it barely sticks like it used to and doesn't preserve food as long. You might think this was due to cost cutting measures to line investor and executive pockets, that's the usual reason products go to c**p.

The actual reason is that the key chemical used in its manufacture was determined to be bad environmentally. They were unable to find a replacement that provided the same performance. There were no regulations requiring them to change the formula and changing it would surely hurt their market share. They did it anyway without any fanfare and it was a big hit to their bottom line, but they stuck to it because it was the right thing to do.

Wrong/ The main reason that cling film, as It was known outside the US, was modified was that it's not safe for use in Microwave ovens (releases carcinogens when heated) and despite warning labels people were still doing so. In some areas of the world specific non-microwavable cling film still exists along side the safer, but less clingy, version.

We had a pair. Male & female. We had one of those elaborate habitats for them. The male was always attempting to mate & the female hated him. What happened next was sad. He started storing food in the upper section. He then blocked off the tube leading up there to isolate himself from the female. He was a domestic abuse victim. He had many bite marks on his face. A few days later, we found him deceased. He had hardly touched any of the food he had stored. Died of loneliness. We gave the female away to a friend & the female had no problem mating with their male.

Penguins can form homosexual relationships, and will even adopt orphaned penguin chicks. Happened at the Central Park Zoo, where some zookeepers gave them an abandoned egg and they ended up raising the baby to maturity. That new penguin ended up being lesbian, and paired up with another female penguin.

Zoos in Germany, the UK, and even China have copied this with other gay penguin couples and abandoned eggs.

That smell has a name. Petrichor (/ ˈ p ɛ t r ɪ ˌ k ɔːr /) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Ancient Greek πέτρα ( pétra ) 'rock', or πέτρος ( pétros ) 'stone', and ἰχώρ ( ikhṓr ), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.
