Snarkless – Because even we need a break from the madness. Once a day, we swallow our sarcasm (it burns, honestly) and deliver three legitimately good news stories—no cynicism, no side-eye, just pure, unfiltered positivity. It’s weird for us too, but hey, even the apocalypse deserves a little sunshine.
Here are a few more Snarkless stories making the rounds . . .
1. A Peruvian fisherman was rescued last week after he survived 95 days lost at sea. His name is Maximo Napa, and he’s 61. He got pretty emotional when he got back to dry land the other night. Here’s the video.
He said thinking about his mom and two-month-old granddaughter kept him going. He survived on rainwater, and by eating birds, turtles, and COCKROACHES.
He hadn’t eaten anything in 15 days before a patrol boat out of Ecuador found him last Wednesday. He’d been gone since December 7th and was 680 miles from shore.
2. The first brown bear to have brain surgery is doing well. His name is Boki. A zoo in England did it back in October after vets found a build-up of fluid. It was right before he went into hibernation, so they had to wait until he woke up to see how he was doing. They say he slept it off and made a full recovery.
3. A company in Las Vegas helped rescue a young cat stranded on the side of an overpass for three weeks. Helix Electric hires out electricians. The CEO’s daughter got him to send a boom lift to get someone up high enough to grab it.
They used two nets to catch the cat, and got him to a vet. He was dehydrated and very thin, but okay otherwise. They paid tribute to the company by naming him Helix.
