Hello friendos! We appreciate you and the fact that you're taking the time to read this. We just wanted to let you all know about a change in policy here at /r/TIFU.

But first, here's a pig in a bath! http://i.imgur.com/DN9cd73.gifv

Recently, it feels like Reddit, America, and even the world as a whole has taken a turn for the negative. As moderators of /r/tifu, we feel as though we have some responsibility in this trend. With the rise in popularity in subreddits like /r/wholesomememes, we have noticed that positivity on the internet is possible, and not only do we want to be a part of that, we want to be at the forefront.

Here are two bunnies in cups! http://i.imgur.com/hhyDZA8.gifv

This is why, moving forward, there will be no negativity allowed on this subreddit. We're aligning ourselves with the wholesome network[1]. There will be no cursing allowed, and we're even changing the name of this subreddit to "Today I Fudged Up".

1: https://www.reddit.com/user/awkwardtheturtle/m/wholesome/

Here's a kitten playing with a toy! http://i.imgur.com/gctUOPc.gifv

Please do your part by reporting any comments which you feel are overly negative, and we will do our part as moderators to keep this little corner of the internet as happy as possible.

Here's a sleepy sloth! http://i.imgur.com/jN594Fs.gifv

Part of this change is to try to court some new advertisers. We've been talking with wholesome companies like Disney and Hallmark, and we think bringing them on board will really improve the average user's experience. Stay tuned!

I don't know what this animal is but enjoy it anyway! http://i.imgur.com/YLDWsOQ.gifv

Have a great day everyone!

That kitten seems to be a little too aggressive for this sub. That's not "playing"; that's a vicious attack.

What the darn-diddily-doodily did you just say about me, you little witcharooney? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Springfield Bible College, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret mission trips in Capital City, and I have over 300 confirmed baptisms. I am trained in the Old Testament and I’m the top converter in the entire church mission group. You are nothing to me but just another heathen. I will cast your sins out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in Heaven, mark my diddily-iddilly words. You think you can get away with saying that blasphemy to me over the Internet? Think again, friendarino. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of evangelists across Springfield and your IP is being traced by God right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggorino. The storm that wipes out the diddily little thing you call your life of sin. You’re going to Church, kiddily-widdily. Jesus can be anywhere, anytime, and he can turn you to the Gospel in over infinity ways, and that’s just with his bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in preaching to nonbelievers, but I have access to the entire dang- diddily Bible collection of the Springfield Bible College and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your sins away off the face of the continent, you diddily-doo satan-worshipper. If only you could have known what holy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you from the Heavens, maybe you would have held your darn-diddily-fundgearoo tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re clean of all your sins, you widdillo-skiddily neighborino. I will sing hymns of praise all over you and you will drown in the love of Christ. You’re farn-foodily- flank-fiddily reborn, kiddo-diddily.
