You can find humor everywhere. Research also suggests that it sparks energy, boosts brain power, improves immunity, curbs stress, and enhances mood. The tricky part is recognizing it.

So let's try and learn it from the masters. There's a subreddit called 'Funny Pics' and even though it's not the biggest community on the platform, its 19.6K members constantly surprise each other with the sheer amount of amusement they find in everyday life.

From ridiculous posters to clever email exchanges, here are some of their most popular posts.

The Artist Has Done A "Runner"

The benefits of a good sense of humor are so profound that colleges like Stanford offer business courses on humor in the workplace to teach "the power (and importance) of humor to make and scale positive change in the world, and also – surprise! – to achieve business objectives, build more effective and innovative organizations, cultivate stronger bonds, and capture more lasting memories."

Probably not all of these pictures will make you laugh. After all, comedy is like music in that we're all drawn to different genres.

Kate Nichols, a New Jersey-based psychotherapist and stand-up comedian, agrees that social media can be a great source for daily giggles.

For example, after you're done scrolling through 'Funny Pics,' you can create a folder on Instagram or TikTok where you can save the most hilarious memes or videos, and then return to them when you need a moment of levity.

yes the US math team was all east asian. A bit of a stereotype but they still beat China because these kids are all American and pround of it. Some of their ancestors may have come from China but these kids are Red White and Blue

For those wondering, this was the US team winning the Chemistry Olympiad 2017 held in Thailand. US students won both in team and single several times over the years, definitely not "first time in 20 years"

My son was the token white kid on his science and mathematics team. Yes, everyone else was Asian American but he did hold his own and even came out of the event with a scientific calculator. I thought he was in good company.

When I went to Cupertino Hih School in Calif. I was one of 10 or so Asian-American where the population was 95% white. In the 2000s, as the Asian students increased it caused "white flight" as they could not compete, now the school is over 90% Asian.

Parents: No, you needed to go to Harvard when you were 2, just like your cousin Ping Chung. He got his PhD when he was 7. Mediocre.

I knew there had to be a catch. American schools are failing miserably according to global statistical results. The only thing America is #1 in is incarceration rates, which directly correlates to its educational system.

What's the catch? That the US can't have Asian-Americans proud to represent their country? That because they're Asian they're not really American? FOH with your racist s**t.

Comedian Jim Tews has five tips for inviting humor into your daily life:

  • Find your comedy comfort food. "Mine is old episodes of Cheers and Taxi," Tews said. "There's a lot of great new comedy you can watch to distract yourself, but there's something more soothing about watching a show that doesn't use cell phones in a storyline."
  • Learn to laugh at yourself. According to the comedian, it's his own coping mechanism and he believes that we are all ridiculous beings.

  • Share your most embarrassing stories with people you love. "This is pretty connected to number two, but I spend a lot of time around my peers who regularly do embarrassing and mildly improper things," Tews added. "Being able to share those stories is cathartic. Just know your audience. This might be a better activity for a family gathering as opposed to a work meeting."
  • Laugh at a stranger when they're well out of earshot. "Feel okay about it, knowing a stranger will one day do that to you," Tews added.
  • Get a cat or a very goofy dog. If you've been thinking about it but had your reservations, remember how much you enjoy funny animals on the internet. If you find them hilarious, why not?

However, desperately trying to be funny can have the opposite effect, so don’t put extra pressure on yourself.

If you’re regularly exposing yourself to more funny things, you’re going to wake that part of your brain up,” Nichols reassured. "It's just like exercising—if you're working a muscle group over and over, those muscles get stronger. Think of your sense of humor in a similar way."

This reminds me of the helpful hint for cooking kale. "When cooking kale, always put a little oil in the pan. That makes it much easier to scrape it into the garbage."

Well, I know what happened to one of them. During university, I had a job at the library on campus. That campus had 2 separate library buildings and I took shifts in both. One day I had a morning shift in library A and an afternoon shift in library B. Shortly before noon, a guy entered library A where I was working and asked for directions to another nearby university campus. I gave instructions and he left. Around half an hour later, I had switched to library B for the afternoon shift. The same guy entered. It was very obvious that he couldn't find the other campus based on my directions and apparently wanted to ask someone else. Yep, that was awkward :D

DD/MM/YYYY is best to just know what date it is and when things will happen, for saving data, YYYY/MM/DD is best because you can immediately see what year something was stored/saved. What MM/DD/YYYY is for except for confusing people, I don't know.
