The great French playwright Pierre-Augustin Beaumarchais once wrote: "I hasten to laugh at everything. Otherwise, I would have to cry." Damn right - when everything around is full of negativity, and sometimes it seems like the whole world is going straight to hell - then even a smallest ray of light is quite enough to cheer yourself up for the whole day.

So today we offer you a selection of 34 really positive random posts on X, the only purpose of which is to make you smile. And if, after scrolling down this list to the very end, you agree that this world is actually not that bad, then our goal will be definitely accomplished.

This collection contains a wide variety of reasons to smile - funny and cute pets, amusing dating or parenting situations, various unconventional methods for preparing for the upcoming Halloween... and, of course, the top star of the Internet of the last few weeks, the cute baby hippo Moo Deng, who, by the way, recently cut her first teeth.

In fact, if you think that today we are going through some particularly dark period in the history of humanity - on the one hand, you are quite right, and on the other, you're definitely wrong. After all, the earliest written opinions found by people about the world being in decline and never being the same date back several thousand years BC. And, damn it, as long as we can smile at little things, we're not hopeless at all!

Wonder if her teacher felt the same way. A great teacher would applaud the creativity. A s****y teacher would get pissed off she didn’t conform to instructions. I’m not a teacher, much less an art teacher or an artist, but I do love me some harmless non-conforming creativity, especially in a young child. Hope she never loses it, because I also hope she never crosses paths with the s****y teacher who humiliates her out of it.

Since time immemorial, laughter has played a vitally important role in the formation of human society. “The idea was that laughter was an external signal that can tell the group everything is OK, we can relax. (There is) no need to be anxious or threatened by what’s happening around us."

"And so this would really be a great survival tool for groups of humans,” CNN quotes Janet Gibson, a professor emerita of cognitive psychology at Grinnell College in Iowa.

"And the belief is, is that over the centuries, the brain kept these connections so that we now laugh when… we hear things that are relaxing, funny, surprising, amusing," Dr. Gibson presumes. So why not laugh at this list again - especially since there really are some amusing things here.

Animals are wonderful in our urban world. I dislike the neighborhood I live in right now but I dislike it a lot less when my neighbors chickens are out making noises and wondering around.

Some doctors seriously (if we can, of course, talk seriously about such a thing as laughter per se) believe that laughter helps our heart, because when we laugh, endorphins are released, and they, in turn, are able to reduce inflammation and help the heart and blood vessels relax. In addition, stress hormones create a load on the heart, the level of which laughter can also reduce. So laugh, friends - it won't hurt anyway!

I love that even with the blur you can see how big they're smiling

Well, we leave you alone with this selection so now please feel free to do whatever you want. Read, scroll, smile, laugh - and let the good mood not leave you throughout the whole week! After all, as another great French writer, Victor Hugo, once rightly said, "Laughter is the sun: it drives winter away from the human face!"

I have always been able to write, whether it’s fact or fiction. I actually enjoy it, when I have something to write about. But I don’t want to become a writer. Never have. More to the subject, I have never been able to stick to writing in a diary or journal. I tried initially when I got one of those little lockable diaries for Christmas when I was about 9 or 10. Just couldn’t stick with it. Besides, some days just aren’t interesting to write about, and I don’t always have pithy thoughts worthy of putting to paper—-and that didn’t suddenly change and increase when I became an adult. In fact, it decreased as the mundane day-to-dayness of normal life has gone on—-and that’s it necessarily a bad thing, tbh. It at least means my life isn’t full of sturm und drang, but is just flowing along happily. Regardless, having to keep a journal for class would be an absolute misery for me. I can only imagine it’s sheer torture for a child.

Was on a cruise, saw a humpback whale jump. Was feeling goofy, so I shouted, "once more with feeling!" and it did. Felt like the whale whisperer for a minute there.

For a second there I read 942.5K as 942000.5, and was wondering who the .5 member was. Like someone’s dog or cat likes soup, or something. Oh the silly things very tired eyes can make us see and tired minds can make us think we’ve seen…

Baby won’t care what you’re reading, as long as your tone of voice sounds like you’re reading them a fairy tale or something cute and sweet and maybe even funny like that. You could read them a book of dull tax laws using that kind of tone of voice, and the baby will just smile and giggle the whole time.

I live in a small town in England and various people have set up book libraries around the town. You drop off a book and borrow another one. Also one of the local pubs has a small selection of books that you "buy" for a £ and then take back when you have read it. The only all goes to the local Mountain rescue centre.

I don't know who this is or why the croissant is relevant, but I applaud you all the same!
