Yes, this couple spent the whole day building an art museum for their pet gerbil. Yes, it was worth it.

This is so cute. This person sent a picture of this professional-level food art to their mom and asked if she would make one for them.

This mom is making and selling squirrel tables (complete with a red-and-white checkered tablecloth and a baggy of peanuts) in order to make a little extra money during the quarantine. And people absolutely love them. Obviously.

This person decided to use the quarantine to brush up on their painting skills, and it's totally working. They nailed this portrait of that slimy guy from Tiger King. What they're going to do with the painting now is anybody's guess.

Oh my goodness. If I had a family of ducks who visited my pool, I would be set during quarantine. I could watch them walk up and down the ramp and bob in the water all day every day. 

OK, so this might not be the most "wholesome" example in the bunch, but it is certainly creative. And impressive?? I don't think I could drink one shot that way, let alone three.

Everyone who hasn't painted themselves blue and made themselves a magical genie for their Zoom conference calls is booooooooorrrriing. This guy has figured it out. I imagine it took a while to get that blue paint off, but it's quarantine, baby! It doesn't matter!

This is adorable. And I love Cait's parents? And I kind of want to be them when I grow up? Anyway, it's nice to have a new life goal. 

Obviously, when you are bored during quarantine and you have a view of a road, you should make a sock puppet and pretend to have that sock puppet eat the cars as they pass by. It's so obvious I shouldn't have to say it. It's so clearly what everyone should be doing.

This little girl used her quarantine to befriend an ant colony because she's the coolest. She's been feeding them with honey and sugar water on her finger. According to her sibling, "She does this so much that when she approaches the colony, the ants all start to come out."

Look, we're all going crazy during quarantine, some a little more than others. But the main thing is being able to have fun with that craziness, which is exactly what this couple is doing.

This poor couple was supposed to get married before the lockdown, so the groom's mom built them a sweetheart table for their wedding day so they could still celebrate. How cute.

This person is using their quarantine to become an absolute sidewalk chalk master, professional-level chalk artist, truly stunning, can't believe it. The best part about this is that everyone walking by gets to enjoy it too!

This mom decorates the toilet every single day to make her daughters laugh. Honestly, I would watch this show. There are some very distinct characters here. Animate them talking and I'd watch six season of that.

I love this so much. This dog knows how to play the piano and his human sibling knows how dance along to his beautiful singing. I'd watch several hours of this.
