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.

RELATED:

    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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    My dad is a dog person. Mom is a cat person. They had Pomeranians for a long time, but when the last one passed, they got cats. My dad is dying, and the cats hardly leave his side.

    My wife didn't want a cat. Within days we got a walk in stray. Had her for 13 years and she was definitely my wife's cat.

    people keep misunderstanding this. Its not that dads are against pets. Its that they dont want to feel the pain of losing them.

    Agreed! And the dads who love their pets often have little things they only do with their pets, so it makes the loss so much more painful…

    Yeah. Husband never wanted cats. I came with a cat so he accepted her. That was 20 years ago and now we have 2 different cats and the one absolutely adores my husband. Always cuddling on him, it's so sweet. He's so patient with her too. Not a cat person eh? Lol

    Our girls needed new collars so Sunday my son (21) and I went shopping. He deliberated over the options and gauged whether or not they would like the colors, patterns, metal finish, etc. It was precious and hysterical all at the same time. Me? This one is cute. Let's get two.

    My dad didn't like cats. My brother and I brought a stray kitten home and "hid" her in the bathroom. Later that evening we found dad sitting in his rocking chair with the kitten on his lap. They became devoted to each other. We kids named her Tinkerbell but she was always called just Tinky. She acted more like a dog than a cat.

    My husband thought I was crazy for adopting a neglected pet rat, then she tried to steal his toast. A grown man lost that game of tug-of-war and his heart. 10 years his two pet rats ride all over the country in his truck.

    My Grampa (RIP) despised animals, ALL animals. But he had a special venom reserved for cats. He didn't think they belonged inside the house, that they were filthy, etc. We got a lovely little pastel tabby named Pyxie who stole everyone's hearts...and managed to even wear down Grampa's loathing. He shared everything he ate that was cat-safe with her, had conversations, let her sit next to him on the arm of the couch or chair. It was adorable.

    Just one question. Why do you have to be a "cat" person or a "dog" person? I've alway kept dogs and cats together and they've always got on happily together, even my greyhound is ruled by the cat king. They're both "my boys"

    I show my husky everything when I go shopping. He gets mad if I don't and I love him so much that I take the time t9 do it, and let him sniff everything. Of course I'll give him some Chipotle chicken sliced lunch meat when we get to that because he's my baby.

    My dad got a kick out of the guinea pig I had as a teenager. Every time he opened the fridge the guinea pig would start squealing because he wanted the lettuce, carrots or whatever was in the vegetable bin. He got a lot of treats.

    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."

    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.
