50 ‘Unbelievable Facts’ To Make You The Most Interesting Person In The Room

Old story, but this is one of the best "people can be wonderful" stories I've ever read. "

There is actually a term for this. It is called "Auction Nullification".

I dont care if this is an old story as someone pointed out. If this doesn't scream community, I don't know what does. This touched my heart.

in my country (B), when a farmer rents a field and that field is sold in auction, no other farmer will bid on it until the original renter gives up bidding.

I grew up in a farming community, and I'm telling you there's a bond that cannot be shaken. Kids were pulled out of school to help on farms, weekends went to assisting one another, and if someone was ill, we all pulled together to keep the farm running. There are skanky farmers, of course, but most are each other's allies in the battle of nature or the government.

I want to hug this dude just for him existing❤️

My partner has a dad with serious disabilities. Did what he could, when he could, and I am so glad for the man he raised. Myself, and so many others without even the start of a good dad are grateful. Rock the f**k on, YouTube dad! You're doing the the work we were made for.

thats nice, but some of us without dads have moms that teach us those things though :-)

Older dudes explaining stuff on YouTube is a whole vibe and I love them all! ❤️

Ill have to check this out. I always had my dad, still do, but he has always been ill with a progressive disease so yeah, i havent learned much from him.

There is a rape culture in India and he is among few who speak against it. Specially for the young women of lower caste who r gang raped and then killed or burned so no evidence. People r afraid to speak up du to powerful upper caste hierarchy hindus.

That's a true hero. And f%*k that government!

Good man.

Is he dating anybody?

He was in a public and financial position to accomplish this. He didn't have to, but he chose to. Now, let's pivot to the US. Do you think Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, or the rest of these billionaires would do anything like this?

This is so sweet. How kind of Nintendo.

This reminds me of the situation with the robotic pets in Japan. They were wildly popular, because Japan loves pets but people often can't have them in their apartments. Then the company stopped making/selling them. Now, when people's robot pets break, they sometimes donate them back to the manufacturers. A Buddhist priest releases the robot's spirit to go back to its human family, and then they reuse the working parts to repair other people's robot pets, like organ donation! https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/01/607295346/in-japan-old-robot-dogs-get-a-buddhist-send-off

I miss my Game Boy and Pokemon cartridges... T_T :-)

Tetris is REALLY good for keeping brain sharp!

I LOVE this story. I started college at 31, in 1995. Graduated with an AA, 2 honor society stoles (president of both),, student of the year for NW college. School part-time, work part-time at son's daycare, filing clerk 2 Saturdays a month, while taking care of my son, husband and household. Never thought I could get through college, let alone be successful. Took 4 1/2 years to get a 2 year degree,. I remind myself when things are tough that I can do it if I want it bad enough.

This is inspiring.

Encouragement rules!!!

Success stories like this often forget to mention the naysayers and detractors that the person had to look beyond in order to achieve all that they did.

With a mentor, imagine the accomplishments that can be achieved.

Dolphins are epic! But can also be a******s. Cats with fins

A Japanese thermometer company recently went out of business. They found traces of swordfish in the mercury.

It's been posted here before, but it's never a bad time to repost that John Cena holds the Guinness World Record for granting the most wishes to children through the Make-A-Wish foundation (over 650 wishes). The man is definitely 'giving back'.

Dude sees a need, knows he has the means to meet it and just gets the job done. If only all celebrities and wealthy and powerful individuals had half Cena’s heart, the world would be a much better place. Instead, we get the likes of Elon and Bezos who think they’re doing all of us a favor by letting us exist on the same planet.

Why wasn't Cena in the picture with Misha and his mom?

You can't see him most times, but you can see all the good he has done :-)

I've watched this video several times, and each time I forget to put the onions aside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOM0Hhj87w

I want to know if the neighbour thought he was answering a real owl or knew it was the guy over the fence.

Now that's a real hoot!

Meanwhile, actual owls are ROFL
