The Chinese New Year is February 5th, and we're going into the Year of the Pig. Pigs are associated with wealth (yay!) and good fortune, meaning that this year should be a lucky one. And, hey, we could all use a little good fortune right about now.

The Chinese Zodiac also says that the Earth Pig (2019's snout-faced mascot) enjoys life and entertainment, so we've rounded up some fun stuff to express your inner piggy. They also "aren't the most romantic people and might need to work on that"—so we've thrown in a few pretties to sweeten the deal.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
