Let’s face it: life is a lot. But hey, when the existential dread kicks in, remember this—there’s always something (or someone) dumber, weirder, or funnier than you out there. Here are 25 things to remind you that you’re doing just fine, even if you ate cereal for dinner three times this week.
1. Sloths can starve to death because they’re too lazy to reach for food.
You might procrastinate, but at least you’re not that lazy.
2. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows.
Da Vinci forgot them—or maybe it was a trend? Either way, you’ve never forgotten an entire facial feature.
3. Your plants don’t judge you for crying.
They’re probably rooting for you. (Pun absolutely intended.)
4. Penguins propose with pebbles.
If a penguin can find a mate by offering a glorified rock, you can definitely text your crush back.
5. You’ve made it through 100% of your bad days.
Statistically, you’re a survivor.
6. You’ve never been eaten by a crocodile.
That’s a win. Celebrate accordingly.
7. There’s a national mullet competition.
The human race isn’t taking itself that seriously, so why should you?
8. You’re not a Victorian child.
No weird diseases, corsets, or chimney sweeping for you.
9. The universe is 13.8 billion years old.
You existing is a cosmic miracle. Or, at least, it’s statistically wild.
10. Cows have best friends.
If cows can make friends, so can you.
11. Your cringe-worthy moments are someone else’s funny story.
Own it. You’re providing free entertainment.
12. Some fish communicate by farting.
And you thought you were awkward.
13. Ryan Gosling was in a Canadian dance troupe.
Look it up. It’s gold. If he can live that down, you can survive your embarrassing moments, too.
14. You’ve never accidentally caused a medieval war.
Looking at you, Helen of Troy.
15. Wombat poop is cube-shaped.
How? Why? We don’t know. Life’s mysteries are wild.
16. Someone invented a Snuggie—and made millions.
Your next idea doesn’t have to be genius. Just market it shamelessly.
17. Octopuses punch fish for no reason.
Sometimes, chaos is just part of life, and octopuses are living proof.
18. You’ve never been a contestant on a cooking show with a sabotaged oven.
Stressful, but entertaining. Thank goodness it’s not you.
19. Bread used to be so hard it was basically medieval Tupperware.
Cheer up—your food storage has come a long way.
20. Keanu Reeves exists.
If nothing else, this fact should bring you peace.
21. Pigeons can recognize themselves in mirrors.
If they can figure out self-awareness, so can you.
22. Sharks existed before trees.
Life is weird. You’re doing fine in comparison.
23. You’re allowed to take naps without shame.
Because rest is resistance, baby.
24. Your ex probably peaked in high school.
Just saying.
25. Nobody really knows what they’re doing.
We’re all just winging it. Embrace the chaos.
Life is bizarre, messy, and occasionally covered in glitter. But hey, so are you. Chin up—you’re crushing it more than you think. Now go eat some cereal (and maybe throw in a fruit, if you’re feeling fancy).
