The internet often likes to tell us that the world is messed up. You open up the news and there's a shady corporate deal that will probably take a huge toll on the environment. You click away to a social media platform and your friends are sharing links to the article you just tried to escape. It can be very difficult to break this cycle. So the Facebook group "Heck, this is super wholesome" is here to help.

It's a place where people share anything that makes them happy. They keep their posts clean and try to be nice to one another. It sounds too good to be true, I know, I've been on Twitter, but I assure you, everything's real. This group is legit. And here's a collection of its most popular posts to prove it.

The owner of "Heck, this is super wholesome", Yuki Rahman, told Bored Panda she launched it at the start of the pandemic in 2020. "I thought of creating a group where we would only share wholesome vibes to make people happy and that's how it all began," she said.

And it immediately took off. Even though it's still a baby in terms of Facebook group age, "Heck, this is super wholesome" already has over 122K members.

"The most popular things in the group are animals and kids, but there's pretty much everything that makes people happy and/or boosts their creativity," Rahman explained.

"Our community is really wholesome. Just like the content in the group. Getting this big wouldn't have been possible without them. The members share such amazing and wholesome stories, we constantly make each other's day."

But Rahman also acknowledges and really appreciates all the hard work done by the group's admins and moderators. They put a lot of effort into maintaining the group the way it was intended to be.

YES. I am reminded of the woman who wrote Ann Landers and said "I am 30 and I want to go to medical school and become a doctor. But I am hesitant because do you know how old I'll be when I finish?" And Ann Landers wrote back and said "How old will you be if you don't go to medical school?"

Who doesn't enjoy the sight of penguins in knitted sweaters?

This was a campaign launched by a wildlife association. The jumpers are to stop penguins who've been in oils spills from preening themselves before they can get cleaned. The foundation wanted around 100 jumpers, but got thousands!

Those are some pretty intricate little sweaters too. Only individualized versions for his little friends.

Note the contrast: There are rich old men who pay to go into outer space, and then there’s little old gentlemen like this, who knit sweaters for penguins!

It is for penguins that have been involved with oil spills. The sweaters stop the penguins grooming themselves (and ingesting oil) until they are cleaned.

I find it difficult to express how much this really touched me. What a wholesome moment and connection between the two.

It's very important these days to keep your spirits up. Many people in the world are not doing so well. We all have our problems. And they can get the best of us. That's why it's so awesome that groups like this one exist where you can go and look at adorable pets and heartwarming moments that restore your faith in the future.

When you see sweet moments like these, all you can do is smile. But remember that you can also the happiness with your friends. Even if it's just a link to a cute photo, spreading positivity around the world will not go unnoticed.

We often forget how important our emotions are, not only to us but to those around us. We come home grumpy, wake up with the thought that we hate our job, etc., the negativity can swallow us. However, if we enjoy our hobbies, spend time with our friends and family, spread some love and happiness, and try to see the brighter side of things, we realize there's so much more.

When I go for a walk with my 1 year old and someone comes our way looking a little bit grumpy or just distracted,it's the best thing ever when she smiles and waves and suddenly they are smiling and look way happier

I've met many cats in my life, and all of them had one quirk or another. There's rarely been the same quirk on multiple cats, but each and every one has one. And I love them for this fact
