Winter’s coming, and it can’t be helped that some of us are feeling a tad blue. We want nothing more than to wrap ourselves in a warm blanket with a steaming mug of hot cocoa, our beloved pets by our side, and a cozy movie marathon on the TV. Alas! We’ve got grown-up responsibilities like work, studying, and worrying about the future to do. It’s enough to make anyone feel demotivated!
Fortunately for all of us, the internet is here to poke a few holes in those dreary gray clouds and let some sunshine into our lives. There’s nothing like taking a good long break and looking at photos of cute animals to warm our hearts. That’s where the wholesome r/TinyUnits online community comes in. The niche subreddit has been making people’s day better since the spring of 2019, posting photos of ‘tiny units,’ aka smol animals. They’re the exact opposite of ‘absolute units,’ but they take up just as much space in our hearts!
Scroll down for some of the cutest photos of these adorable tiny animals and remember to give them an upvote if you think you’d like to pet ‘em. We hope this list will chase away those pesky autumn blues and melt your hearts, Pandas. Let us know in the comments if we’ve succeeded!
Bored Panda reached out to the moderator team at r/TinyUnits and my first impressions of the community weren’t wrong: they’re as friendly as they seemed from the first glance. Redditor u/hwhouston517, the current head moderator, was kind enough to answer some of my questions about the subreddit, the cuteness factor, and how subjective things can get when considering whether or not something is, in fact, a tiny unit.
“I’ve only been here for about a year, using the ‘Reddit Request’ feature because the previous mods were inactive, transferring the ownership of the subreddit to me,” the moderator told Bored Panda how they came to head the entire tiny operation. “Throughout the years, the subreddit has remained pretty simple and of only one objective: posts animals or objects that are very tiny.” Simplicity at its best? I like to think so! The redditor stressed the fact that the subreddit is “extremely fun to mod” and being the head mod has been a “fun experience.”
Bored Panda also reached out to PDSA Vet Anna Ewers Clark for some insights about by so many of us love baby animals and what we should do if we ever come across puppies or kittens out in the cold alone. PDSA is the UK’s leading veterinary charity with 48 pet hospitals around the country.
