Too many depressing things on the main page, so post things that make you warm and fuzzy inside!

Please avoid posting news stories that have a silver lining as while a happy/amazing thing happened, it came out of a sad/depressing situation.

Additionally, if you would like to share news with us, please be descriptive about it. Self posts are allowed on the basis that it is a truly happy event and that you put effort into writing it. Short or vague self posts will be removed as this dilutes the feed.

Please do not post rage comics they have their own subreddit.

Leg swing direction FIXED.

Better momentum.

[–]Wolfosaurus 11 points12 points ago

Hey guys, nomorecats got this [fixed] from Redditer lowpass who actually edited the gif- http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/vfnko/sometimes_when_ive_had_a_bad_day_ill_watch_this/c544v05

I see I'm not the only one who had this saved.

[–]nekolalia 4 points5 points ago

This is really curious. I think the OP's direction feels like it makes sense if the legs are at rest and simply following after the body, but your direction makes more sense if you think of the legs as the driving force of the rocking... if that makes sense. I like them both, but I have to do a sort of mental flip between them to make them feel 'natural'.

Much better, the other one was making me twitchy

[–]MutantNinjaSquirtle 0 points1 point ago

I disagree I think OP's makes more sense, kinda like pumping on a swing. The legs should point away from the direction of motion.

You should post this to r/depression

They need this.

http://i.imgur.com/8E4Cc.jpg? jpg? Since when did jpg do animations?

It's a frickin' gif!

Not okay.

[–]Wolfosaurus 2 points3 points ago

It doesn't matter what extension you put on an imgur link. You can just put .gif instead of .jpg, and vice versa, and it'll load as normal. Beware all the links.

[–]demonstro 1 point2 points ago

I know. It's still not okay.

[–]JDogg1329 2 points3 points ago

Showed my girlfriend who said "is that us when we're morbidly obese with a small child"

[–]jsims281 2 points3 points ago

Wow, what a buzzkill.

[–]JDogg1329 0 points1 point ago

She was kidding, and everytime I see the gif I picture it and laugh.

[–]Saemiligr 1 point2 points ago

I just keep staring at it... giggling.

[–]rachaelfaith 0 points1 point ago

I can't quite tell why I like this so much, but I do.

[–]MyBelovedIceCreamBar 0 points1 point ago

I guess I'm not the only one happy living in the past

[–]otakuman 0 points1 point ago

I like the little one running. I want to hug it so bad!
