People Share The Most Wholesome Facts They Know

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:

"What is the most wholesome fact you know?"

Dolphins

Dolphins will assign other dolphins a sound, kind like a name, and even if the dolphin doesn't know who said it's "name" it will still respond.

A-B test

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.

Tiny Hands Island

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.

Cheetahs

Giphy

In some zoos, they pair up cheetah cubs with puppies. Cheetahs are naturally skittish, but share much of their body language with dogs. Seeing that the dog stays relaxed when the door opens for example, helps them stay relaxed.

Whether it was Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or some other important facet of childhood, most of us found out when we were kids that something we loved did not exist, and it was absolutely devastating and world-changing.

But imagine there being something that you deeply disliked or feared, only for you to find out that it actually exists on the same plane and in the same timeline as you.

Woman Stunned After Best Friend Of 23 Years Ends Friendship Over Her 'Mom Shorts'

We will all have friends who come into our lives for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. There are those situational friendships, like from work or school, that dissolve when we exit that space, and there are friendships that might form from knowing the same people.

Then there are those tried-and-true friendships that we think will truly stand the test of time—but even those sometimes fracture under pressure. And sometimes for the most ridiculous reasons.
