Bro, that's free dopamine and I'll take it. I recall someone stopping me and asking for help with changing a flat because they didn't have a lug wrench. I didn't have the time to stop and help but I told them they were in luck because I just so happen to have a universal lug wrench in the trunk and they could have it, they wanted to pay for it and my broke college student ass could use it but there is more dopamine in giving then selling haha.

I've taken to telling them that someone else helped me out, and I'm just trying to pay it forward, with interest. If they can pay it forward in future, I would be very happy with them continuing the chain.

You still get the dopamine of a good deed, they feel like they can pay you back by passing it on. If they don't, no harm done. If they do, your good deed just got amplified to some other poor sod's benefit. It might even loop back!

A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:
