Sometimes, the real world doesn’t provide nearly enough of these, so you’re forced to turn to the internet.

That’s where we come in. So sit back, get your scrolling finger ready, and prepare to feel good.
“The home on the right, owned by an ecologist, contrasts with the manicured lawns of neighbors.”
You just know that the person who owns this amazingly forested property isn’t a part of a homeowner’s association, because there’s no way they’d stand for this kind of individualism.

“Because the world needs to see what a 15-minute old lamb looks like.”

I have no idea what this cat is doing, but that’s kind of beside the point. I’m just here for those toe beans which, yes, do appear to be coming in quite nicely.
“Dieunerst “Killer Whale” Collin from the legendary meme is a state champ “
I love seeing what becomes of the people who are better known as memes then as human beings. It isn’t easy to win a state championship in football, so congrats to this kid.
“This kitty grew up with his protector Ultraman.”
I’m not sure if this kitten actually finds comfort in the Ultraman doll or if this is a posed pic. In any event, they seem to be made for each other. It’s just precious.

When you’re born in the United States, your citizenship is automatic. But seeing someone who has to work for it puts things in an entirely new perspective.

When you take a freeze frame of a derpy dog running at full tilt, it’s hard to believe that they even know how to run at all. Seriously, what are those front legs even doing right here?

“This vet with a kitty in her pocket.”
Deep pockets are good for lots of things: phones, keys, loose change, snacks, and, sometimes, kittens. I wonder how much time the kitten spends in the pocket before it wants to be let out.
“He’s the chosen one.”
When I sit on a park bench, nothing much happens. I get bored and pull out my phone. When this guy sits on a park bench, he suddenly becomes king of all stray cats. Lucky.

Seeing this photo makes me want to see an all-dog version of a giant chess board. It might be a bit of a logistical challenge, now that I think about it.
“This art completes me.”
I wonder if this person knew about the sculpture ahead of time. If not, this is just about the most serendipitous art gallery possible. The sculpture is definitely art, but so is this perfect photo.
