I visit [boredpanda.com](http://boredpanda.com) The content changes daily M-F. They usually post a cute or funny collection of photos at least twice a week. This is the most recent. It helps when the days news gets too stressful. > **[50 Images Of Pets Being Total Derps Shared By Panda Community](https://www.boredpanda.com/hey-pandas-post-a-picture-of-your-pet-being-a-total-derp/)** > > What’s a better way to start off a weekend than by looking at adorable and silly pictures of pets? ---

I love to watch reactions of millennials listening to my favorite songs. A lot of times I think they faking never hearing the songs before but the many astonished, “They’re _white_!” exclamations when listening to The Righteous Brothers or Hall and Oates seems genuine. ---

This channel has a lot of shorts. He starts playing piano in a public space and people start joining in. The surprised reaction from the public always makes me smile. Reminds me that gathering around a piano and singing used to be common. Especially in bars.
