With all that's been in the news lately, one can easily think that humans are just the Earth's waste. And while that probably applies to some of us, there are plenty of awesome people as well. At least that is what the subreddit r/HumansAreMetal is trying to prove. With over 539,000 members, the community is sharing random acts of kindness and heroism in hopes of restoring our hope in humanity. From honoring firefighters who lost their lives during 9/11 to car crash survivors showing the lifesaving effects of seatbelts, it is doing one heck of a job, too. Continue scrolling and check out some of the most popular posts on the subreddit.

#2 Student Archers Take Position To Battle Police After Writing Their Last Words
"These are protesters in Hong Kong who started protesting an extradition bill, however after several months of protests and many instances of police brutality, including policing killing protesters, the protests have become about much more. What is happening in that photo specifically is two protesters going to defend their college from police. As of a few days ago police have started attacking universities as most of the front liners are young and coming from said universities"
