50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day - Bob Ross would receive letters every week from his regular viewers. When a regular would stop writing to him, he would call them and make sure they're ok.

- Bob Ross also once got a letter from a colorblind viewer who said they can't paint due to their colorblindness. He then did an episode where he made a painting entirely out of gray colors to prove that anyone can paint.

- Mr. Rogers hand-wrote letters back to everyone who wrote to him.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day There is a tribute sculpture of silver feathers in County Cork, Ireland called "Kindred Spirits".

It commemorates the 1847 donation of $170 (about $4,700 in 2019 dollars) by the Native American Choctaw People to Irish famine relief during the Great Hunger, despite the Choctaw themselves living in hardship and poverty and having recently endured the Trail of Tears.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day Whenever you see something go wrong in the world -- either a natural disaster, an accident, or a man-made crisis -- it's very easy to focus on the negatives. The tremendous loss of life. The monsters who thought an act of terrorism would help their cause. The mismanagement that made things worse. The people looting and profiteering from other people's misery. It's easy to get disparaged and see only the worst of humanity.

But there are always, *always* people going out of their way to help their fellow man. The people who ran into the towers on 9/11 to ensure that as many people as possible got out. The people who hid Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust. The Choctaw Nation Americans who sent a donation to Ireland in the wake of the potato famine in order to help in any way they could. People queuing up to donate blood in the wake of a mass shooting or other natural disaster. People who try their absolute level best to change the systems that led to these problems in the first place, throwing everything they can into protests and political action to try and make the world a better place. These actions are almost always done not for glory or rfor personal profit, but because it's the right thing to do. And it happens everywhere, every time, in every country around the globe.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day First one that comes to mind is something along the lines of this

During the Second World War an American B-17 (I think it was the Flying Fortress) was trying to make her way back home heavily damaged.

A German 109 (fighter) saw it and decided to investigate. The pilot noticed the guns weren’t manned and the insane amount of damage the plane had (a good chuck of fuselage was missing along the side). Flew up beside the bomber and caught eye-contact with the American pilot. He waved.

The German pilot then escorted the bomber back to American territory where the German pilot waved off.




These two pilots met each other after the war and became friends

One of my cats used to stick her tail up in the air and wiggle it quickly whenever she saw me. She also, when she saw us come home, ran out the backyard, jumped up onto the patio roof, jumped through the bathroom window, ran downstairs to greet us at the door just inside when we opened it every single time we got home. I miss her.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day I've got a pair of cardinals that come to the feeder every day. I noticed that sometimes the male feeds the female. The female quickly shakes her tail feathers and the male responds by picking up a seed in his beak and feeding it to the female. I learned that this is part of their mating behavior. It allows the male to "practice" feeding because he'll have to fill in for the female when she occasionally leaves the nest with the hatchlings in it. Plus it's just adorable.

Somebody from Billy Joel’s team came up to us and asked if we would like to sit up front (second row), of course we happily agreed. From what I remember though (20+ years ago) it was about us being young and bringing ‘energy’ rather than a helping the poor thing

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day This probably isn't the MOST wholesome but it's the first I thought of. In this era of evil corporate overlords let's remember Saran Wrap. Have you noticed that Saran Wrap kinda sucks these days? It seems like it barely sticks like it used to and doesn't preserve food as long. You might think this was due to cost cutting measures to line investor and executive pockets, that's the usual reason products go to c**p.

The actual reason is that the key chemical used in its manufacture was determined to be bad environmentally. They were unable to find a replacement that provided the same performance. There were no regulations requiring them to change the formula and changing it would surely hurt their market share. They did it anyway without any fanfare and it was a big hit to their bottom line, but they stuck to it because it was the right thing to do.

Wrong/ The main reason that cling film, as It was known outside the US, was modified was that it's not safe for use in Microwave ovens (releases carcinogens when heated) and despite warning labels people were still doing so. In some areas of the world specific non-microwavable cling film still exists along side the safer, but less clingy, version.

Gunfire around Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green during the [1916 Rising](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Rising) was stopped every day to allow for the ducks to be fed.

Park keeper James Kearney would enter the Green daily to feed the waterfowl. Every time he did this, the opposing sides of the Irish Citizen Army and the British forces would cease firing to allow him to do so.

Penguins can form homosexual relationships, and will even adopt orphaned penguin chicks. Happened at the Central Park Zoo, where some zookeepers gave them an abandoned egg and they ended up raising the baby to maturity. That new penguin ended up being lesbian, and paired up with another female penguin.

Zoos in Germany, the UK, and even China have copied this with other gay penguin couples and abandoned eggs.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day This will probably be buried, I don't think you guys would think it's super wholesome but to me it is. When Ringo left the Beatles during the White Album sessions, the Beatles wrote him a letter, telling him to come back and even calling him the best drummer in the world. And, when he came back, George Harrison decorated his drum set in flowers. I think its sweet because even though tensions were high in the studio, you can see that they cared about each other.

They do it MUCH faster. Our brains can process language months before our mouths develop the capacity for spoken language. I've seen full on babies ask for a drink (the sign in ASL for "milk" is often used by babies and toddlers for any drink).

I was learning ASL and our deaf instructor pointed out that her daughter could communicate before she could talk. When she was 8 months old she could ask specifically for milk because she had been taught the sign for it. Other things too. Cool.

We all know how we talk to ourselves in our own minds. We use our own spoken language. We also know when we watch TV shows & we get excited, we will talk out loud at the TV. I was in a hospital waiting room & there was a couple who were deaf. It was funny to watch them sign at the TV. It was funny on how much they used cuss words at the TV. I worked with a guy who taught us all of the bad words in ASL.

That smell has a name. Petrichor (/ ˈ p ɛ t r ɪ ˌ k ɔːr /) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Ancient Greek πέτρα ( pétra ) 'rock', or πέτρος ( pétros ) 'stone', and ἰχώρ ( ikhṓr ), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.

That, or they are psychic. I had an irregular work schedule, but according to my mother, my dog started acting expectant about 5 minutes before I got home each night.

50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day Looking into your dog’s eyes produces the same brain chemicals for you and the dog that mother’s feel when they stare at their babies.

Edit: And I’m pretty sure they’re the only (or one of few) animals we have this connection with.

Cats appear to have the same emotional connection to humans as dogs. And almost all animals seem to enjoy being pet. A lot of research has been done on dogs, not so much on other animals, we just don't know yet. Why would you say you're 'pretty sure' about something if you actually don't know?

My favorite is the Christmas Truce of 1914. Basically during the Christmas Eve and Day German and British soldiers had multiple soccer games against each other in no mans land during the cease fire. Just shows that soldiers are people and not extensions of their countries ideology

I hate this example. The fact that they still were willing to see the others as human and still went back to shooting each other right after just makes it all so much worse

Germany has these, too. Selfdeclared liberals, conservatives and other selfdeclared rational politicians love to oppose them and make sure to call those who support them of having "Bambi Syndrome", where caring about wildlife is seen as imature useless overemotional bollocks, not as useful or even needed. The opposite is true, of course, just the short term cost is higher when taking care and not being as selfish as possibly possible.
