Sometimes on our stressful lives it's nice to just sit back and think about all of the more wholesome things in life. Like the fact that just living with pets is enough to lower a person's blood pressure and stress levels. Or every single part or Fred Rogers' existence; seriously, the man was amazing and an inspiration to many, many children.


In that spirit, Reddit user u/PM_YOUR_HAPPY asked:

A bunch of doctors were subjected to an A-B test. The clinics they were working had two signs posted, on the doors leading to the examination rooms (immediately above the wash stations). One sign said "Wash your hands between examinations. You are less likely to pick up disease from patients." The other sign said "Wash your hands between examinations. You are less likely to transmit disease to patients."

The second sign boosted hand washing 57% greater than the first sign.

Canada and Denmark have "Fought" over tiny Hans Island, between Greenland and the Upper Reaches of what is now the Canadian Territory of Nunavut. It's technically where their out-to-sea borders overlap, and there is no official ruling anymore as to whose it is.

The "Fight" simply involves one side going over, changing the flag, collecting the bottle of alcohol set there by the previous party (Schnapps from the Danes, Whiskey from the Canadians), setting some of their own in its place and leaving.

This has been going on for decades.

One must really hate their job in order for them to get fired.

Depending on the actual job, it's not that difficult to follow established rules and work protocols. Deviating from them just to get terminated can take more effort.

That is, of course, the employees are completely inept or severely disgruntled and have no problem going on a self-sabotaging mission to be let go.

Why can't they just quit, you ask? Well, that'll be less dramatic.

For many people, escaping to the woods, either in a tent or a cabin, is just what they need to escape from their current realities and reset their mind.

Allowing themselves to be one with nature, and cut off from technology.

Not everyone finds the woods a peaceful place, however.

Indeed, being cut off from the rest of the world, all the while surrounded by wildlife, it's easy to see why some people find the woods scary, and not at all relaxing.

Particularly if their time in the woods included an experience which made them never want to return, ever again.

The older you get, the more you realize that having a worldview can be a disappointing aspect of life.

It's all the knowledge we acquire.

Sure, the more you know, the smarter you get.

But the more you know, the less you can pretend.

History can be difficult to learn.

Everything opinion and thought can change in an instant.

Sometimes that is a great thing.

Sometimes... not so much.
