With mainstream media primarily highlighting unpleasant events worldwide, it’s always refreshing to hear about acts of kindness towards another human being. Sadly, these behaviors don’t get as much attention as they should.
Thankfully, the Chaotic Good subreddit is changing that. This online group shares good intentions manifested through unorthodox methods, to say the least.
Here, you’ll see people stealing to provide for someone who can’t afford groceries, passing gas alongside someone so they won’t feel embarrassed, and drunkenly painting a crosswalk on a dangerous street.
Scroll through and have a few feel-good moments today. Hopefully, this list will show you that despite all the negativity, there is still some good in this world.

While it may sometimes feel like there is too much hate going around, kindness is an innate human trait. As University of Oxford researcher Dr. Oliver Scott Curry explained in an interview with CBS, it’s because “we are social animals.”
University of London psychologist Anat Bardi provided some survey results to the publication. According to the findings, people valued benevolence or kindness the most, edging out hedonism, creativity, ambition, seeking power, and having an exciting life.

Acts of kindness are also reasonably common, even if people don’t feel that way most of the time. In 2021, the BBC launched a “Kindness Test,” which more than 60,000 people from 144 countries joined, making it the world’s largest psychological study on the topic.
Survey results showed that 16% of people had received an act of kindness within the hour prior. 43% claimed they had experienced it within the previous day.

Don't know why people get so bent out of shape about drag queens and children. Every drag queen I've ever known has been very protective and nurturing towards children. The Queens know what it is like try find your voice and flourish in a society that often pushes for conformity.

However, the Kindness Test revealed the barriers that hinder people from showing goodwill toward others. Some are apprehensive about the possibility of embarrassment or rejection.
Personality may also play a role. The test revealed that the kindest people scored high on “agreeableness,” extroversion, and openness. This could mean that outgoing people are likely less concerned about rejection, making them more likely to buy a warm meal for someone in need, for example.

Saw This And Thought It Belonged Here
Fat Harry (Oi / You) 1 month ago
Similar thing happened when I was in Paris around 2000. Ticket office staff for the metro were on strike, but drivers weren't, so the trains ran but no one paid to get on them!
Those who aren’t as automatically willing to commit an act of kindness are also likely plagued by “miscalibrated expectations.” Amit Kumar, an assistant professor at The University of Texas at Austin, conducted a study in 2022 where 75 out of 84 participants gave a cup of hot chocolate to a stranger.
The research participants also underestimated the significance of their act, expecting the recipients’ moods to be an average of 2.7 out of 5. However, the recipients reported feeling much better, with a 3.5 out of 5 mood.

Kumar believes that the participants weren’t fully aware of the impact their seemingly small acts of kindness had on the person. They also failed to realize that generosity can be contagious, and there’s a good chance for the receivers to pay it forward in the future.
“The fact that you’re being nice to others adds a lot of value beyond whatever the thing is,” Kumar told Technology Networks.

He traveled the South of the US to document segregation and discrimination, including coverage of the desegregation of public schools and violence against black protesters, becoming a close friend with JFK in the process. He is still alive and 86 years old.

Gotta Love Drunk Idiots Sometimes
Jeffrey Crawley 1 month ago
When I was at school the bus stop where I and a school mate caught the morning bus was suspended due to road works and temporarily replaced with a sign on a concrete block. Coming back from school one day we moved the temporary sign about 100 yards down the road so we didn't have to walk so far in the morning. When the works were finished they reinstated the bus stop WHERE WE HAD MOVED IT TO! It's still in the same spot decades later. I went on to become a Civil Engineer, designing and building roads!

What makes an act of kindness more meaningful is that it comes from the heart, no matter how small. And you may not realize how helpful these gestures can be.
One blood donation, for example, can help save up to three lives. Giving a random stranger a few genuine words of encouragement can help turn their day around in a massive way.

Standing Up For An Older Fellow
"Recently went camping at a very busy RV park. Our camper didn't have a toilet or shower, so we were reliant on the bathroom on site. The first night we were there I met a super cool older fellow that had some stomach issues (who didn't have his own restroom either). He was frantically trying to get the door open, but the keypad entry was broken. Thankfully I had my pocket knife and jimmied the door for him.
After I took a nice shower I rode my bike to find maintenance to repair the door. The gentleman couldn't get the door open themselves and swore they would fix it.
Later that evening the door was still broken. So, to help my little buddy out, I taped the latch so he could get in as he needed (frequently). I wrote on the tape, as not to ruin the door, "please don't remove the tape, some of us rely on this restroom". You can see the residue of the tape still left from their shoddy removal.
Next morning the tape was gone and the lock still broken. At that point, it was apparent that they didn't care about the people camping there, so I removed the broken handle, and deposited the parts in six cans across the campground.
Needless to say the next day the doorknob was replaced with a functional unit and the marker removed. The older fellow was so happy he gave me some limes his daughter grew. Made a hell of a beverage later that day."

What A Lovely Idea! I'd Say This Makes A Massive Difference To People Who Have Been Feeling Lonely
Pernille 1 month ago
The point is to borrow a person that is different to yourself. If you want to know about being gay, or Christian, or Muslim, or transgender you can borrow someone who is that and they will tell you about it, I think it is a brilliant idea, as the internet cannot interact in the same way.

I am so happy you did this. It upsets me that instead of helping the people read they wouldn't let them go someplace fun. So instead of fixing the problem they were making people feel bad for having the problem.

"Moms for Liberty" is a Republican Conservative organization that started as a group fighting against COVID prevention measures, and later expanded their scope into campaigning against LGBT rights, racial equality, inclusion initiatives, vaccine mandates, freedom of religion and education. They have been proven to have financial ties with the republican parties and the "Proud Boys" neofascist organization. They themselves have been branded an "extremist far-right organization" by several independent advisory groups, and their methods include astroturfing campaigns, direct harassment of teachers and public servants, legal and personal threats, bounties to encourage violence or further harassing of teachers and even openly encouraging shooting liberal teachers.
