You might cringe as we say "good vibes only", but this group honestly is that. The 1 million blessed members share uplifting content that might remind you what the simple pleasures of life are. We might as well call it kindness in images that hug your heart.

You can probably notice that most of these pics contain animals. Looking at cute animal photos can make your day better. Whether it's a puppy or a kitten, seeing something cute can quickly make you feel happier and more positive. But why does this happen? Well, it might be for a few psychological reasons.

That is what more stupidly rich people should do with at least a portion of their money. If they won't (and you know they won't), tax it out of the greedy MFs.

One reason cute animal photos make us feel better is because they make us kinder. That makes sense, as not everyone is naturally inclined to help others. Studies have also shown this to be true, according to the National Library of Medicine: "When we see puppies, our brains release oxytocin." This makes us feel loving and attached to those animals (and sometimes to other humans too). That's why many folks who work at animal shelters choose to volunteer – they want to help animals!

That's actually a very sweet idea! Outside of work, the only human interaction I get is when I go to the shops, which is only once a week. Sometimes it's just nice to hear people chat, maybe even contribute a line or two.

Looking at cute animal photos is a great way to feel happier. Cute animal pictures also help us deal with emotions and stress. When we see something cute, our brain releases a happiness chemical called dopamine. This makes us feel better overall.

My partner had a much darker skin tone than mine (dark chocolate vs pasty white with purple blotches) and bought some bandaids that matched his skin tone. Since he passed I quite like wearing them. Not as a political statement, just as a reminder of how his hand looked like when holding mine. 😍

I wasn't paying attention and picked up a box with mixed skin tones, there are four different shades... I am as pale as it gets but wear them all. I usually buy fun ones (currently I have Batman and Hello Kitty) but they didn't have them in the big size I needed.

Even the supposed white ones have never blended in for me. I am way to fair skinned for those. Glad the band-aid people finally realized people come in multiple shades and not just that one "white" color.

My brother did that one time when he couldn't find the bandaids (they were exactly where they should have been but oh well). I came home to a trail of blood down the hallway and over the basin and chunks of duct tape here and there. I ended up having to take it off because I was worried about his circulation, and the cut was so bad he needed steri-strips on it.

I know it's not the same but my skin is so pale that no band-aid has ever matched it. But I am glad that they are making ones with darker tones for people with darker skin.

This is so cool to see. Ngl, I rolled my eyes a bit when I saw my employer had various skin tones band aids in our first aid kit, thinking. “Who really cares about the color of their band aid?” - but now i can see how important it is ❤️

Confession, I don’t really use skin tone bandaids. Why have a boring color that barely matches my skin tone, when I can have Pokémon, or Bluey, or Star Wars? I’m already hurt, I might as well make myself feel better by having a fun bandaid. Glad this guy found one he likes though.

I never thought it was to match your skin.. i thought it was the normal color of a bandage .I'm a pale white freckled red head and none of the bandages mached me ..they were too dark tan peachy colored. When my children were little I would just but on their bandages of batman star wars barbie dora.

When I was a kid, 60+ years back, all bandaids were a beige-y color that matched no one's skin. I always wondered who they were supposed to match up with. I sorta thought they were supposed match white people, although no one was really that color. I wondered what kids with darker skin thought about wearing these beige things. And then they came out with Stars and Stripes bandaids and I bought those and any fun ones they had. I think it is great that they finally got a color that's right for someone!

Never happend to find a matching one either. Never thought that I should feel discriminated against because of this. But,.. I’m despicable. Just a white cis person (well, I still am a woman, so I can claim a bit of being oppressed).

What happens when you see a cute picture? Even though they're not real, they make our brain's pleasure centers light up in a similar way to how pictures of human faces do, thanks to the visual part of our brain.

Looking at cute animals can help you concentrate and work better, says a study in PLOS ONE. The research found that looking at adorable pictures of baby animals helps you focus on tasks like math or puzzles. It also makes you want to work harder and longer.

"It's really easy to take and share photos online nowadays – they're like the pictures of our lives," explains Jo Hemmings, a psychologist. "But because it's so easy, we often forget to look back at the pictures we've taken. This means we miss out on the happiness they can bring."

"Research shows that having actual photos in our home gives us a good feeling. They remind us of the people and things we care about, making our connections stronger!"
