Actually, people are good by nature and you're a fool if you think otherwise.

[prettydumbloverboy]

When you sneeze in public, strangers will say "bless you", even though they don't know you.

When you ask for directions on the street someone will show you the way, even though they have nothing to gain from it.

People squeeze their legs against the chair so you don't have to hop over them on your way to your seat in the theatre, and make funny faces to make babies laugh, and purposefully step on leaves to hear them scrunch, and hold the door open for someone leaving behind them, and ask what floor you're heading to when you enter the elevator, and send others photos of things that reminded them of them, and recommend each other songs, and ask if anyone else wants a coffee because they're getting one, and make videos teaching how to sew a button, and wish on shooting stars, and share fun facts, and listen to others rant about things they don't even understand, and let you cross the street first, and give a bit of their food to others, and laugh at jokes they don't find funny to make you feel good, and listen to kids talk for hours about nonsense, and let you know your keys fell from your pocket, and they may be strangers, but with every little gesture they're saying "I love you, I love you, I love you".

God, I needed to read this today. Humanity is overwhelmingly full of hope and kindness and it's very easy to forget that these days.

One absolutely hilarious part of human existence is the repeated incidents of spicy bananas. People who have lived their entire lives up to this point just assuming that a specific fruit or vegetable is supposed to taste bitter, tangy, or spicy, having no fucking idea that all this time, they've been allergic to this plant. Because how would they have known? You learn what things taste like by tasting them, nobody's going to tell you that bananas are supposed to be one of the mildest flavours out there. And people already eat so many things that taste hot, bitter, tangy and tart! Because they like how that kind of thing tastes like!

You can just happily much on a plant, thinking "ah, this angry plant tastes sharp because it hates me. Much like all the other sharp angry plants that people eat because they like the sharp", and it wouldn't cross their mind to think that the plant just hates you, specifically.

This is sitting on the shelf of human experiences riiiight next to people who don’t realize they’re colorblind.

[deadmomjokes]

My best friend’s husband didn’t realize he was colorblind until after they were married in their mid-twenties and she watched him run a stop sign that was in front of a big bush. He’d lived his entire life not knowing. So when they did some tests and realized “hey, you’re super colorblind,” he got to thinking, it’s X-linked, right? Which means it had to have come from Mom’s side of the family, so he started digging and asked his mom’s dad, and Grampa was like “Well that would explain a lot, I suppose. I kind of thought your grandma was just pulling my leg about the tomatoes.”

Because Grandma had apparently banned him early on from picking the tomatoes in the garden because he was constantly coming in with unripe ones, and he thought she was just being super nitpicky about it. This was a lifelong family joke, that Grandpa couldn’t tell a ripe tomato to save his life, and nobody ever stopped to wonder if maybe he and the grandson who routinely colored the grass red on his drawings might have something going on with their ability to see red and green as distinct colors.

whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend clearly has never met ibuprofen

[luimnigh]

Actually literally accurate. The song originates in the 1949 musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, while ibuprofen was invented in 1961.

what is with popular kids and never returning your fucking pens

[themightytej]

Okay so when I was delivering pizzas I developed a system for this because it was a real hassle not getting my pen back on credit card orders.

Keep the cap.

That’s it. It’s that simple. I had this whole thing where I’d covertly pop the cap as I was pulling the pen from my pocket so when I offered it they pulled the pen out from the cap, but that isn’t necessary. The point is just to keep the cap somehow.

Why? Every time I kept the cap, after they were done using it, they would instinctively go to put the cap back on, and the realization that they didn’t have one would break them out of the routine of putting a pen away and remind them that it isn’t their pen. The guy standing there holding a pen cap gets the pen.

Worked every time.

[argentiaertheri]

I got the most garish pink feathery pen when I was working in software because none of the manly men dared use it. I hated the damn thing, but it was better than constantly finding a new pen. Basically I weaponized femininity and it worked.

Bought a pink lighter after that and never had to steal back my lighter again. Kept my candy stash in the drawer with feminine hygiene products and just like that my chocolate stopped disappearing.

If cis men are gonna be fragile about their masculinity use it to your advantage! I’d rather get read as female than be constantly replacing shit
