Use the internet often enough and you'll soon start to think that the world full of villains. But there are plenty of heroes who are there to protect you from them. And not all of them wear capes. Some are wearing bear costumes while they tear apart tents of Black Friday campers. Others are rocking a baseball cap when they're saving beer from a burning house. Bored Panda has compiled a list of our saviors, and their bravery is worth all the attention it can get. Yes, they might not be fighting the Joker or Magneto, but their courageous acts are making the world a better place nonetheless. And are putting a smile on our faces in the process. Scroll down to meet the heroes and upvote your favorites!

I never understood the obsession with these people? They have done absolutely nothing to be famous. They contribute nothing to society and not one of them is pretty. They are all plastic and famous by association.

The funny part is I generally tended to EXCEED the number of pages or words needed for an essay. I once needed help shortening my essay because it was far too long.

The question is where you hide these words... And you'd need to use real words otherwise the spell check would underline them and they'd be visible that way. Frankly, it'd probably be easier to spin out another 40-50 words...

I am a retired English teacher, and when my students used to ask “How long does it have to be?”, I would always answer, “As long as it has to be in order to fully answer the question.” Believe me when I say that we don’t have enough time to word count your essays. We are looking for content. We have been reading essays for years and approximate the word count. I you fully answered the question in 642 words, that’s probably good enough.

How is this genius? What, like you think the teacher puts it in some machine that tells how many words were actually typed? Totally could have turned it in 50 words short anyway! Teacher won't count them if it looks long enough..

Actually the uni I'm at does exactly that. In fact most of the universities I've been at did this because of the digital copies that get checked for plagiarism. The plagiarism tool also gives the word count (yes, I know what you got from another student and what came from Wiki). But, if it's well written and a little short, most profs are going to cut you slack, especially when it's only 58 words! I find this hack to be downright insulting when I come across it (all the prof has to do is highlight all on the digital copy).

This one reminds me of my German classes back in high school. We uses to have a sentence count foe short text compositions, so when we were short of ideas, we'd write "das mach spaß". We overused that sentence so much, our teacher decided to ban it. ♥

The swastika was used in Hinduism and Buddhism for centuries to denote positivity. I've always wondered why the Nazis took the symbol and it's sad that it is seen in such a negative light now because of its use over a 10 year period in Germany.
