According to recent surveys, there is more negativity on social media than ever before. It’s likely why seeing something pleasant and uplifting online feels almost like a rarity.
Fortunately, pages like the Buzzplus Instagram account continue to uphold positivity. You can spend hours scrolling through and, for the most part, enjoy some laughs and good vibes.
Here, you’ll find wholesome memes and posts about weird kiddie costumes for Halloween, boomers taking selfies, and pet cats adorably acting out on camera. As usual, we’ve picked some good ones that may uplift you today.

Standing out as a positive voice in a predominantly hostile environment like the internet can be challenging. However, taking full responsibility for everything you post could help shift that mindset.
An article by the Ohio State University Library emphasized the importance of keeping things classy because every piece of content you create reflects you. It’s a way to build an online presence, and it always helps to put your best foot forward.
While social media and the internet are self-expression platforms, ask yourself a question before posting: are you sharing divisive or inappropriate content?
The OSU article mentions the 24-hour rule. Give yourself a full day before posting something that may feel questionable. It allows you to mull things over and prevent damaging your online reputation, which could hurt your personal brand.
Many of the posts and memes on this list are personal anecdotes that anyone can easily relate to. Vulnerability and authenticity are two traits that can help build a positive presence.
As best-selling author and entrepreneur Lewis Howes pointed out in a LinkedIn article, authenticity is acknowledging and working to improve shortcomings.
Empathy goes a long way in keeping a positive online presence. Seeing disagreeable content is inevitable; how you respond to it matters more. As Howes advises, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. At the very least, give them the benefit of the doubt.
“A little empathy can turn a heated online exchange into a constructive conversation,” he wrote.
Now, let’s switch the conversation to you. Do you try to keep a positive online presence and put out more of these types of content? If so, how do you do it? Share your thoughts in the comments!
He has lulled you into a false sense of security...not holding...getting ready to "share" lovely warm milk
Logically I know that cats have large quantities of loose skin, but seeing the belly flab on a shaved cat always seems so odd 😆
Cats basically live "inside" sacks of their own skin XD The belly is especially loose and is called the "primordial pouch". All species of felines have the primordial pouch! <3

That was traumatic for all involved because she wasn't that old, maybe 11months at the time... I was frantic and thank gosh for my then boyfriends parents who got her to their vet that night. She had her hind area shaved for the operation and then? As she was recovering, was allowed out at first? She tried to jump onto a wall, didn't make it and broke her left leg... Cue another emergency vet visit and franticness worry... She was fine in the end though and lived to a ripe old age! But? It was the fact that she'd had two operations within a few weeks of each other and her fur shaved off. Once I knew she was going to be okay? I was - "Omg, I don't know what other people are going to think! Probably that I'm into some sort of weird cat shaving cult or something!" when her fur was just starting to grow back!
Well, when you get home from the hospital, do YOU feel like getting dressed?
BP taught me that owls have legs, and I haven't slept right since.
My husband announced his (voluntary) redundancy to work colleagues by sending an all staff email "master has given Mikey a sock".
"negativity of the world"... more like negativity of the news. Current studies show that the perception of the world of a vast majority of people is way worse than the factual situation. Also this isn't a good news post but an animal meme post
DRAMA sells. I don't even want to watch shows that show people being mad at each other. It's just ... exhausting.
