There are a handful of examples of why I, Miss Hambox, think the internet is capable of making the most magical feelings inside my brain.

I have never shared here my favorite, most magical YouTube video of all time. It involves an aquatic creature, and it is the most hilariously filthy video I have ever witnessed. However, it may not be everyone’s taste (in fact I KNOW it’s not — sorry about that, Violet!) and I don’t want to be judged here for my really lowbrow sense of humor.

But! Here are two videos, also involving aquatic creatures, that are completely non-filthy and still 100% pure magicalness.

Oh, please watch this beluga whale being serenaded by mariachi musicians. Your grinchy heart cannot help but growing two sizes. One YouTube commenter: “Without the internet, I would probably never have seen this. Thank you internet.” Amen!

Now, stick with this next one. A humpback whale, freed from a gill net, seems to transmit happiness and appreciation towards the people who saved her. I won’t deny shedding some tears. Free Willymeena!
