Some days, we need a pick-me-up, a warm little reminder that good, whimsical, and wholesome things are still happening around us. And the beauty of the internet is that we can now document, caption, and share them with billions of people around the globe.

Despite its somewhat dour name, the “Failing in Society” Instagram page has a lot of positive energy for all of us to share through memes. So get comfortable, prepare your beverage of choice, and scroll through this selection of wholesomeness and hilarity. Be sure to upvote your favorites and comment your thoughts below.

How awesome! Imagine knowing you've touched someone like that. And for him to let her know -- I just have the happy feels right now.

Often, wholesomeness hits that much harder when we least expect it. It’s an unfortunate reality, that interacting with a business can be exhausting and time-consuming, when it comes to refunds, sorting out shipping issues and replacements, and any other customer service topics. So when a company makes “going above and beyond” not just the purview of a hardworking employee, but policy, people tend to notice. 

Take Zappos, the American online shoe and clothing retailer. Beyond a commitment to customer convenience, like a 365-day return policy and free shipping on a number of transactions, the company rewards workers who go the extra mile for their customers. For example, they reportedly had a 10:29 hour customer service call, when a client forgot about a return request when a loved one unexpectedly passed. Zappos sent a replacement for free and some flowers, after waiting on the line.

Even the non-human world is actually full of wholesome moments if you just know where to look. The animal kingdom, for example, is chock full of things that make us go “aww,” but most people stop at kittens and puppies. But all sorts of animals do things that are both fascinating and deeply cute. Otters holding hands is a classic, but did you know that honey bees have dance-offs

Wow! No wonder Instant Pots are are beloved staples in many American homes today. I LOVE coming home from work and having dinner already made - best feeling ever!

it's a pressure cook, slowcooker, convection cooker, etc, all in one. It does each of those jobs, just not as good as a dedicated device for it, but it does each one well enough and saves a ton on space. Plus its highly automatated with the settings, making it easy to use

I love my instant pot. I wasn't able to cook really at all until a few years ago when my sister got me one as a gift. I love mine and use it all the time. It makes great curries. I used to live on mostly premade stuff and while I still buy them a bit, I cook quite a lot more now. I was given the one with an air fryer lid and it's truly the most useful gift I've ever gotten.

Ok, I want a reverse microwave so when I over heat/ burn something it's a quick fix. I also want $10 million dollars. Maybe if I made a suggestion to the treasury department?

Cows also maintain friendships and like to hang out with their best friends whenever they can. Even more committed, penguins, along with a lot of other birds, mate for life, and will even “propose” to a mate, often with a pebble. Of course, some birds really do take it to the extreme when it comes to impressing a potential mate, for example, building art displayed, fighting rivals, or even very intense forms of dance

Squirrels and bats both have social systems to take care of orphans. Squirrels will adopt babies whose parents have died and carry them around like their own offspring. Various species of bats do the same, while the most organized version are “bat orphanages,” where groups of bats roost together and females come to feed orphaned babies. These are highly social animals with a pretty advanced solution to this problem.

People pointing out to him that his wife ‘has grown’ need to go f themselves. And Pierce is a decent person but this is kind of the bare minimum for getting praise, ‘loving your spouse as they are’

There are countless other examples of things, creatures, and even people that are and act wholesome, an emotion that makes us happy and shows us that there is something good in the world. For all the chaos and negativity on the internet (and, really, everywhere,) digital communication lets us spread these ideas and images. In a sense, it promotes wholesomeness, as often selfless behavior goes unrewarded and unseen.

ADVERTISEMENT

The human need for this sort of content is reflected in the trends we see on TikTok, Twitter, and yes, even here on Bored Panda. Wholesome, joyful images, memes, and stories are all a salve against doom-scrolling and other words we use to describe the omnipresence of negative content, fear-mongering, and rage bait. The ubiquity and common, everyday use of those words shows just how far “internet negativity” has penetrated our collective psychology.

fun fact-most dogs are allergic to chocolate, but some are not and, while they cannot eat it safely, but will not die (much of this is dependent on weight) my friends dog apparently got into the fridge and ate a WHOLE GODDAMN CHOCOLATE CAKE and was fine afterwards.

We did that for the kids at my wife's school. And food too. Hardest part was they needed so much more and would ask to bring essentials home to their family cause they were hungry or didn't have necessities either.

i'm not sure if i'll get super downvoted for this, but i watch 911 and i recently heard there is a big group of buddie shippers that are mad because the show is supposedly queerbaiting. Some of their arguments consist in Eddie screaming Buck's name when Buck was struck by a lightning and them holding hands when Buck was pulling Eddie from a colapsing building. All I see is a very nice and rare type of friendship, where one is constantly there for the other, and I find very sad that some people are not used to this anymore. I remember McDanno's friendship from hawaii 5-0 and i really wish more shows had this kind of relationship again, but i'm not certain if it wouldn't get mistaken for something else and hated on.

All Shrek movies are full of little "easter eggs" (so to speak) like that. A true master piece when you can have a lot of fun watching no matter your age/level of comprehension.

Okay, this is such a thing with kids!! We have a photo of my brother at age 2 or 3 wearing my cousin's coat and it's really big on him like this kid. I have a photo of my kid doing the same thing with one of her father's coats. I think kids just love putting on big coats! It's adorable!!!!

How do you get around being one of those people who doesn't believe they deserve love, so they keep everyone at arms length, including themselves, trapping them in a catch-22 of never being able to accept love even from themself?
