As we start getting deeper into autumn, you may notice the days growing shorter and the wind growing colder. So during this time, many of us need to be intentional about getting our daily doses of sunshine, whether that means taking a walk during lunch time or finding a virtual bright light online.
In an attempt to bring some warmth and sunshine to all of your days, pandas, we took a trip to the Squeaky Clean Humor Instagram account, which is dedicated to sharing wholesome, family-friendly memes that everyone can enjoy. So keep reading to find a conversation with the page's creator, Allie, and be sure to upvote the pics that bring a smile to your face!

I love the stare my cat throws at me when I put my finger in her mouth: "peasant, how could you?!"
One of our cornsnakes watched us how we open the glass door (we pull one part in the air, not sideway or to the front) and then used to put her weight and muscles on the glass and ground to push it open. We have now locks on our terrarium because she managed to escape twice out of different areas. She is very clever. (Her mate..... Not so much.....)
To learn more about how Squeaky Clean Humor came to be in the first place, we reached out to the creator of the account, Allie, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. “I started my account on a whim when I was 16. It was just a little fun thing to do, and I never expected to keep it for long,” she shared. “It’s been so amazing to see the growth through the years. Even just reaching 1,000 and 10,000 followers was so cool. Now with over a quarter of a million, it’s mind blowing!”
As far as why it’s so important to share clean humor, Allie says, “There are so many pages out there that post a lot of inappropriate/vulgar content. I think it’s important to have some wholesome humor in your life, things both your 10-year-old and your grandma will like. I also make it so I never make jokes about serious issues. I want my page to be a place you can escape and not have to worry about those issues.”
We have a final answer people! Capy with a cat likes it, so we're good to go with Guinea Bigs!
Load More Replies...Well, when I first wore glasses, the optician told me to clean them with dish soap, so I did. The problem was, I also used the sponge, the one with rough green side, to clean them, as in my mind, dish soap went with sponge. As a result, my new glasses got scratched pretty much the first day I got them. In my defense, I was only 10 at the time.
My dad tried to get rid of bird poop from the hood of our car like that once. He was not 10 at the time.
Load More Replies...I'd say this is a very mindful optometrist who may understand there are literal thinkers who cannot fill in steps without being instructed. I know people who are like that. It is much, much appreciated when someone takes the little bit more effort to ensure people fully understand the task.
I'm sure it wasn't anything personal, but in the medical field you have to over explain everything because the second you don't, you will meet the dumbest person you've ever come in contact with. Here are a few things I've encountered: *Mother was giving her infant suppositories without removing them from the packaging and called to report they weren't working. *A young woman thought she couldn't be pregnant because she wasn't "sexually active." She thought if you just laid there you wouldn't get pregnant. *I cannot tell you how many people believe a dog's mouth/saliva has some kind of healing properties and they've been letting their dog lick their open wound and they have no idea why it's infected. *A man made his own foot cast out of concrete in his garage and came to the hospital screaming in agony when it started to burn. He didn't see the sense in going to the hospital when he could make a cast at home. I could go on and on but I'm out of space to type.
About 25 years ago when I was working in animal medicine, a Bayer representative mentioned that the topical flea medication she was presenting had a new warning on the label that it is NOT to be used on humans. The reason for this was because some people were applying the product to their children. Enough people to necessitate a warning on the label.
Load More Replies...That lack of faith in human discernment speaks to personal experience with a patient who did something very, very dumb. It only takes one, and your perception goes from "99.9% of people have a basic sense of self-preservation" to "Human stupidity is infinite. Some humans have no survival instincts, and their critical thinking is set to: 'Will drink bleach if a celebrity recommends it.'"
It’s like dumb signs: “Do not attempt to stop chainsaw with your body” who actually was dumb enough to try that 😭
Yes, please don’t pour boiling water in your eyes. This will hurt like hell and likely permanently blind you.
We were also curious how Allie decides which memes to share on the page. “I mainly find my pictures online, as well as occasionally making my own, or having friends send me ones they’ve seen,” the creator explained. “I rarely take submissions, but if someone sends me something really funny, I’ll post it!”
Allie also shared that it’s difficult to narrow down any favorites since she’s posted nearly 7,000 times, but a few stand out to her. “One that my brother came up with I saw posted by a few other accounts, so that was really cool to see! I’ve found that people really like posts that have to do with movies they love,” she added. “The Princess Bride is always a good choice!”
imagine if this happened and some random 4 year old was selected for swimming
No, I still want to see Simone Biles kick a*s. Maybe we should preface the olympians with regular people attempting all the events so everyone watching can put it in perspective before the real pros come out and we’re all “I can’t believe she didn’t stick that landing”.
I’ve always thought that when it comes to competitive diving… Somebody should just take one for the team and do a huge cannonball. Nobody would ever forget that.
There ought to be a way of making this work. Say pass a baton to 100 random people and ask each of them to pass it on to someone who wants to be in the Olympics. Then repeat one more iteration. That's your hundred competitors.
Cotton Eyed Joe is now in OP's shoes, which they are about to put on

Allie also shared how passionate she is about running Squeaky Clean Humor. “I absolutely love running this account and interacting with everyone. It’s become a huge part of my life, and it’s honestly changed my life and the person I am. I love sharing things that go on in my life, and answering questions from my followers. It’s a super fun thing to do!”

Clean humor is great because it can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. And as we all know, laughter really is the best medicine. According to HelpGuide, getting in a good laugh is great because it can strengthen our immune systems, boost our moods, alleviate pain and prevent us from becoming too stressed.
When we’re kids, most of us laugh all the time, without even being aware of it. But as adults, we sometimes need to make a conscious effort to get in a chuckle. Our lives can become much more serious, and it’s easy to go an entire day without laughing until your abs hurt. But we shouldn’t let this happen, as laughter is a great way to release tension!
I had a coworker from Florida who had never seen snow. She looked out the window to see it coming down, squealed excitedly and said, "Look, it's flaking outside!"
When I was at boarding school in the UK we had this preteen boy join us from Nauru, near Fiji. He saw snow falling, and a lamb being born, on one weekend hike. I doubt he closed his eyes that night!
a freind of mine had a million for one day :D (he purchased a house. got the credit from the bank the day before the money was used to buy said house... (houses are expensive in switzerland) he made screenshots, becuase "when will he ever have so much money?")
Load More Replies...And my cat will occasionally eat vegetables. It doesn't change the fact that a cat is a carnivore. Just as a hippo is an herbivore: meaning the base of it's diet is compromised of plants, even if they do occasionally eat meat if the opportunity presents itself.
Load More Replies...It's not that hippos are by nature vicious. It's just that they have no half-way measures of defending themselves.
Bison are herbivores and every year they kill more people at Yellowstone than bears do.
Nat Geo article this week: The animal that frightens the Savannah animals more than a lion. Any guesses? Eyup. It's humans. Recordings of a male lion near a watering hole caused the various animals to look around and assess the danger. Recordings of humans talking, just talking, sent them all scurrying into the brush. This makes the hippopotamus even cooler. The only other animal would be a honey badger, because as y'all know, Honey Badger don't care. (Google it if you don't know)
Just like me. I hate you but I don’t want to eat you. And no it’s not that time of the month.
My dad once tried to buy 1 cucumber with his order, but ordered 1 box of cucumbers. Was fun to go around the neighbourhood giving away cucumbers 😁

Load More Replies...Mannnnn. I ordered 12 cheddar biscuits from Red Lobster, thinking I was only getting TWELVE biscuits...they called me and confirmed I wanted 12 orders of biscuits and I was like "hell yeah we're hungry" not understanding that I ordered 12 CATERING BOXES OF BISCUITS. I want to say there were something like 24 biscuits a box. Needless to say, I got maybe a tad too many.
I own a smoothie place. I'm the person those math problems were created for. 😂 and I always tell my new employees this because they are usually in high school and currently still doing those math problems. They don't think it's as funny as I do 😂
So if your dad bought 15 mangoes, and your mom bought 10 mangoes, how many mangoes will your mom throw at your dad for not telling her?
HelpGuide notes that laughter can even benefit heart health, as it improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow. Enjoying a good laugh every day can also be great to keep us from holding grudges or getting too angry. All emotions are meant to be felt, but being able to find humor in any situation can help us cope with the struggles of being human. Having a laugh can prevent you from becoming resentful and be a healthy reminder not to take life too seriously.

Load More Replies...Terry Crews is pure and sexy but too old. Snowy needs to be a teenager. Part of the fairy tale is the diminishing of beauty, and therefore the value society puts on women, as the age. The wicked queen was obsessed with her beauty because she was afraid of being replaced by a younger model.She had done the same thing to Snow White's mom. When the Grimm brothers published their book with Snow White, Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II had already done the same thing 3 times is real life and would do it one more time before he died.
Well, if they would have kept to the script with Snow White being more beautiful Gal Gadot would have played Snow White

Because there are so many benefits to having a long, healthy laugh every day, it’s important to have comedy that’s accessible and enjoyable for everyone. That’s why clean comedy has been growing in popularity in recent years! Far too often, comics feel the need to rely on low blows and discriminatory or derogatory jokes that leave someone feeling offended. But this is completely unnecessary! Making jokes at no one’s expense may take a bit of creativity, but it’s certainly worth it. And apparently, it can even get you 267k Instagram followers!
It's 7 pm for me and I laughed hard too so I don't think the time has anything to do with it ;)

It's a Christmas song that goes "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" Chess is the game chess, and nuts can be used to mean like a nerd or a person who's crazy. Used like that they mean people who like chess bragging about it in a hotel, they just worded it like the song

According to The Grable Group, clean comedy should be many people’s go-to because it’s appropriate for a wide variety of events. If there will be kids in attendance at your birthday party, you need entertainment for a company event, or you’re looking for a comedy show to take the whole family to on Saturday night, clean comedy can be a godsend. The Grable Group also notes that clean comedy usually takes a bit more effort than dark humor or offensive comedy, so it should be extremely well done. You can trust that the comedians put a lot of thought into their sets.
Kitty! Who wants to continue with the main quest with side quests like this 😻😻😻
i once had an entire conversation on a discord channel that took place in a ‘video game’. I acquired ANNOYING CAT and he absorbed an activated grenade so I thew him at my friend. Pleasing results followed.
why do i understand exactly what he means? it feels wrong that Q is not next to X or Y ... Edit: who made the alphabet anyways? why is it in that order and not in a different one?
Romans did it, of course. First, they changed the order in the Greek alphabet. But, of course, they named it ABECEDARIUM (ABCD), instead of ALPHABET (αβ).
They used this alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Y, Z
Later, they added J, U and W to the alphabet...
J is right after I because it was a written variant (IVLIVS = JVLIVS). It's the same than U (but this one entered later), placed with V because it was another variant for the same sound (IVLIVS = IULIUS = JULIUS). And the same with "W", another variant in the group U, V, W. It was introduced in the Middle Age, and previously it was represented "U" or "UU". In the tombstone of the Visigothic king Witiza, we can read VVITIZA. W is the only "goth" letter in the alphabet.
Romans didn't need "Y" and "Z", so they didn't used it in a first moment. But when they started using more and more Greek words, they decided to introduce this letter. They just put it at the end.
But the order is random. VVITINZA-A...fba6cb.jpg
Yes. Q is too high up the alphabet, in QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM
S is the popular letter that knows they are popular but humble enough to hangout with the weird letters and make them feel good.
Load More Replies...My iny objection to this is the word "high". Surely the end is the top - Q is not high enough.
Not to my brain. Do you read from top of a page to bottom? I do and it seems natural to me that if you put the alphabet in reading order, the top or highest is A and the bottom or lowest is Z. I'm not correcting you, I'm just curious about how other people think and is this a cultural difference? 🙂 Are you maybe thinking of how A is 1 or the first letter and Z is 26, thus 1 is low?
Load More Replies...Probably because the alphabet wasn't invented by modern English speaking people. But by people using q a lot more.
If A, B , C, D, E, F and G weren't so gawdammed slow in the beginning... L, M, N, O and P wouldn't have to be so rushed!
You can also attend a clean comedy show, or follow a clean comedy account on Instagram, without having to worry at all about getting offended. What is considered a “sensitive topic” can vary person to person, but clean comedy should always be safe.
On the same note, as a comedian, it can be wise to write clean jokes, as this can help you grow your following. You can share clips of your routines online without worrying about getting any backlash, and viewers can happily share your content with all of their own followers.
For worser results: wash at 90 °C with a lot of new black t-shirts...

Hey, funny memory. Remember when we were told that technology would make our lives easier, and we believed them?

A week ago today, I very nearly burned my sister's house down trying to eliminate a house centipede. I was spending the night in her basement and I spotted one on the concrete wall beside the door. It quickly disappeared into a hole in said wall so naturally, I flicked my Bic in an effort to destroy it and its ancestors. Didn't work.
Load More Replies...Engaging in laughter with a friend or loved one can help strengthen our relationships, so don’t hesitate to send your friends a hilarious meme that you spotted on Instagram or tell them a silly joke you read online last night. You two will feel closer after releasing some tension by laughing together, and you might even have an easier time solving conflicts after strengthening your bond through humor. Humor can lower both of your stress levels and remind you not to sweat the small stuff.

Oh, I’ve got a great fact about the Count!! Count Von Count first appeared during season 4 of Sesame Street in 1972. A Count who loves to count isn’t just clever wordplay. In early folklore, vampires were often depicted with Arithmomania, a disorder where the individual has a need to count their actions or surrounding objects.
"The Vampire" aka The Count was NOT on the Muppet show. He was on Sesame Street.
1 ahahaha, 2 ahahaha, 3 bwahaha. For some reason has stuck in my head for decades, even though I know technically it is incorrect.
That'd be favorite character in Sesame Street, though, they are all technically Muppets. Kermit is the only performer featured in both productions. Also, Snuffalufagus are the only residents on Sesame Street with a child. "Useless", you say? You're unjustly saying things! Even Oscar the Ground begrudgingly accepts a hug every now and then!
for anyone whos childhood might have sucked since they dont know who the vampire is, hes a character who counted on the show
Research shows that people who use more humor in their relationships report higher levels of relationship satisfaction, and many of us seek out partners who have a great sense of humor. So whether you’re looking for love or just trying to expand your circle of friends, sharing clean humor with everyone you encounter can bring some sunshine to both of your days! A silly little wholesome meme never hurt anyone, right?
The floor is always made of lava. It makes things VERY difficult!

Since I was a kid, I thought the leap day should be between the last day and first day of the year. Dec 31, LEAP DAY!, Jan 1. Why randomly attach it to the middle of the calendar?
A couple of Caesars were not happy their months were only 30 days, so two days were stolen from February and added to July and August. When it was recognised the calendar was coming adrift from the seasons, an extra days was added in once every four years. It was decided to add it into to February in partial compensation for its earlier losses.
Load More Replies...I had an idea recently that all months should have 30 days and the remaining 5 days should be just numberless days between winter holidays and New Year's, when only essential things would be open and whole world would just agree to do nothing and recharge. And as a bonus every 4 years we would get an extra day to this slumber. I was a bit high but I still like the idea :D
12 months of 30 days each didn't really fit with the 365.2-something days of a natural year. Not even the 365 days that were easily observed over only a decade or so. Midwinter and equinox would change. 12x30 =360 days + 5 more. The year had traditionally started on 1 of March, at spring equinox (20th of March now), but various rulers had decided to start the year again when _they_ came and decided. It was a chaos! Then Julius (or at least his crew) decided that the year should start at Midwinter, and January, March, May, July, September, and November should have 31 days, and the rest should have 30. Except for February who got only 28, but an extra day eveyr 4 years. And a month named after himself would be nice. His son Augustus also wanted a month, and couldn't live with having fewer days than his father, so.... change again.
And then there's an exception to the every-four-years being a leap year: If the year is divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400, then the leap year is skipped. So, the next leap year that will be skipped will be the year 2100.

I can't answer what it is or why it's good (although I think some other commenters have done so since you were here) but as to Edmund, he is a character in "The Lion, The Witch she The Wardrobe" (the Narnia series) who is ensorcelled by magic Turkish Delight and helps out the titular witch to get more of it.

Apparently orphan beavers who never saw another beaver in their life will eventually start blocking your hallway with a dam made of stuffed animals. [EDIT: Look! Tim posted a video in reaction to this comment.]
It's the sound of running water. Tests have been done and found that beavers will block any pathway if they hear running water. It is believed that it is a self-preservation reaction because it is harder to be swept away in slow or motionless water
this is wrong they build burrows whose entrances are underwater to protect them against predators.
Load More Replies...Beavers indeed just hate the sound of flowing water, scientists tested it with speakers playing it and the beavers started to build a dam around it
Reminds me of the cartoon where the narrator says that the beavers dam the river and they all run to the rivers edge and start hurling expletives at it and the narrator gets all serious "not like THAT!" and they all slink away.

I had bio homework where they were asking us to prove why a cuttlefish doesn’t belong to class Pisces

I reject utterly the notion that cuttlefish, starfish, jellyfish, silverfish and shellfish are not fish. They live in the ocean, so they are fish. If you want to argue for the notion spread beginning in schools in the 1950s that because they aren't related biologically they aren't fish, I should point out that we are more closely related to lungfish than lungfish are related to tuna.
Algae live in the ocean, does that make them fish? Whales live in the ocean , but then I know some call them whalefish.

I admit I once broke off and stole a tiny piece of a succulent plant in Home Depot. I jammed it in my pocket and took it home, I planted it and it grew roots and propagated, and now it fills an entire planter pot in my backyard XD
This is similar to how my great aunt filled her garden, she would go visit a stately home, wander round the grounds, snap off a twig/leaf, stick it in a potato in her pocket (for moisture apparently) take it home and plant it.
When I was a kid I was playing outside in the woods and I saw a beautiful flower. I had never seen this type of flower before so I thought I'd give it to my mom, so I picked it. Shortly after I brought it inside and presented this pretty flower to my mom and she starts yelling at me, which is the complete opposite of what I thought her reaction would be and it killed the 6-8 year old me inside. Turns out this beautiful flower is an endangered species and illegal to pick 🤷♀️ obvs a kid wouldn't know that info. To this day I have never seen another one 🥺
Sweden countryside has a weird tradition, you are supposed to steal your plants. Even if you asked and are allowed to take a twig/leaf you then go about to do it in secret when noone is watching. Steal it or it dont grow!
I have stolen succulent leaves, and have successfully saved a cactus that was cut in half and tossed out of a doorstep
I read it at first "planet store" and got totally confused till end. "You do jot download a planet 🤔
This is why I love cacti and succulents, you can just take the leaves off other other succulents, or break off offshoots from a cactus, and you've got a whole new plant. rinse and repeat for infinite plants. Yes I know this can work for other plants but it's so easy with cacti and succulents, like the burrow's tail succulent has hundreds of tiny little leaves that break off from the tiniest bit of force and each will grow roots and become a new one

It's great to be an adult who plays the cello. Being a kid who played the cello...sucked. It's impossible to be cool when your instrument is bigger than you. Walking to school with a cello, you're like a wounded gazelle on the Serengeti. Bullies smell you coming a mile away. "Ooh, I don't know what that thing is, but I know I'm gonna break it." (Rob Parovian, no quotes bc I'm too lazy to track down the exàct wording. :P)
When I played the cello as a kid, no one would mess with me because they thought I could whack them with the big cello case. Going up and down the stairs were torture though
Load More Replies...Somewhere out there, the cello celebrates its new-found freedom. It took a while, but it was free from the newb, free to find someone who could actually play.
A few weeks ago, I had to try and help my substitute teacher track down an instrument. The music department is fairly big, but like, very open, there's not many places for an instrument to hide. I looked for about an hour, in every nook and cranny I could think of in the school. Cupboards, behind upright percussion instruments, under desks, behind chairs, underneath the stage in the orchestra pit, even in the backstage dressing rooms. Do you know what I was looking for? Not a flute or a clarinet, not even a tenor saxophone. A double bass. She found it a few hours later
To Abra Barbier: the answer is 'by intention'. This is how your son told you he hated playing the cello. Maybe because it was the size of him. I wouldn't be happy to walk around with an octobass.
This is still my all-time favorite. Too bad my parents never trusted me with a cello; that's definitely one thing I would have lost. Instead they made me play the piano - how do you lose a piano?
I once lived in a hotel with my best friend for awhile. Long story, but the point is life was weird, schedules were weird because the hotel was quite far from the rest of our lives, and we were sharing a bed. One morning my alarm went off obscenely early and I woke him up to "help me with the siren." I think I was more confused than he was once my brain actually clicked on.

My brother and I tried it on our other brother. The conversation just went around and around with variations on, “What’s that?” “What’s what?” “The thing you said!” Eventually he yelled out in frustration, “WHAT IS AN UPDOG?” We lost it at that point.

My Spanish teacher always said that if we ever saw him in public and didn't refer to him as Kevin, then he wasn't going to respond.

I'm 44.
I will never call my teachers by their first names but that is because I am homeschooled
Here in poorly developed Hungary my kids call all their teachers by their given names (our naming order is Familyname Givenname this is why I don't call it their firstname) in informal style (no Mrs or Sir or any equivalent). They can talk even to the principal this way. However it's not common in Hungarian schools.
