Life is full of randomness. One second you're confidently walking down the street, and the next, your feet are tripping over absolutely nothing. So why not embrace that and laugh at the absurd? The Instagram account 'Satisfy Daily' is packed with funny memes that are so relatable, they make you feel seen. No, really—who's watching me to create these? It's like someone has a front-row seat to my most ridiculous moments, and honestly, I'm not even mad for it.

Psychologist Dave Smallen studied emotional patterns of the ways we relate to one another, and he found that:

Happy Connections (62%): Most people felt happy and appreciated during these moments, with few negative emotions like sadness or anxiety. Think of the joy you feel catching up with a friend over coffee.

Vulnerable Connections (17%): Some people felt vulnerable emotions like sadness, anxiety, or anger, balanced with relief, happiness, and compassion. This might be like those times when sharing something personal makes you feel a bit lighter afterward.

Supportive Connections (21%): This group mostly felt compassion and sadness, especially when supporting someone else. Picture comforting a friend through a rough day—not exactly joyful, but deeply meaningful.

"From this example, we can see that people generally have complex emotional experiences when they connect, often experiencing more than one identifiable emotion, sometimes both positive and negative emotions at once," Smallen said.

"Our gratitude, or appreciation, is a useful signal that we’ve had a meaningful interaction. Even if all we did was wave with a passerby on the street, we feel appreciation that our mind just encountered another mind in a satisfying way. Indeed, people in all three groups ... were fairly likely to have said they felt appreciative regardless of the kind of interaction they had."

Smallen believes the key to connecting meaningfully in everyday life isn’t having an interaction that feels happy or even comfortable at that moment, nor is it required that we face vulnerable emotions alongside everyone we want to feel connected with. "Meaningful connections happen when we meet one another where we both are ... emotionally in that moment, within the particular context we are in," he explained.

So what matters is responding adequately to the needs of the moment—is it a time to laugh? Or is it a time to put your hand over your friend's shoulder? Is it time to have a heart-to-heart with our family members? Or is it time to join forces with them in our righteous anger? Every now and then, things can get a bit messy before we find our flow with other people, and that's OK.

"Regardless of the kind of situation we are in, if we enter an interaction with openness and curiosity, and try to show one another that we understand, validate, and care about the feelings that we each express, we are on the right track to meaningful human connection," Smallen said.

The dinos look like they all hold little chips bags.

AI, it does look like chip bags but it's actually paper cards/labels. You can see it pretty good on the one in top left because the folded card is opened.

Am I the only one who thinks that's kind of mean? Child looks pretty distressed, and someone intentionally did that and then took a picture...

No, you're not the only one. Let's stress a kid out through fear and post it on the internet. Nice.

Whoever did this deserves to be treated badly. Terrorizing babies and children isn't funny. It's a sign of psychosis.

Who would do that to their child?! That's cruel to scare a child (or anyone), especially just so you can post it on social media.

Not sure if the story was real, but the last time I saw this image, the poster said they had found the lost kid and used the dinos to keep her from wandering off while they went to find the kid's parents.

Growing up there was a neighborhood dog that would get loose. He was huge. He woild jump on you in excitement. His paws would be on your shoulders ( we were tall teenagers ). If he was too excited he would knock you down. Fun dog.

Real answer: It depends. The first photo is the Brage Drilling Facility in the North Sea, a fixed rig with a frame that go 140 meters deep to the bottom of the ocean, built on pontoons and sunk until it reaches the bottom. The second one I can't identify, but is clearly a semi-submersible platform. It is just floated to the place and partially sunk to make it stable.

Five minutes before guests arrive: me shoving stuff in the cupboard under the stairs, Mr Auntriarch starting to polish the silver cake forks and I'm not planning to serve cake.

My stupid a*s will be talking to somebody on my phone, while freaking out a little when I can't feel the phone in my pocket.
