Inspired by Jacksfilms’s Yesterday I Asked You series, or YIAY for short. I’m going to ask a Jacksfilms-style question, and other posters must give humorous answers. Tomorrow, I will repeat the question and give my favorite answers. I will then let another poster ask a new question, and the cycle repeats (at least) every day.
If the original poster isn’t available to give their favorite answers, another poster is free to step in and give theirs (barring their own).
I have a question for you. Describe TV Tropes in just 4 words.

It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind — ten years after the Earth-Minbari War.
The Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and aliens can work out their differences peacefully.
It's a self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A port of call, a place of commerce and diplomacy, home away from home for a quarter of a million diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal — a shining beacon in space, all alone in the night.
It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace.
This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

So, YIAY: “ What is the most heartwarming story have you heard about?”
It seems like the wrong thread for me to ask a question like that given these answers:
- "Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died. The end." - TheOther36
- Heard of a kid in Africa who was too poor to afford a Nintendo Switch and play Mario on it, so they made themselves a “console” out of cardboard cutouts, paper scraps and self-made electronics. When the picture of the console went viral on social media, the CEO of Nintendo personally went over to sue them for 10,000$. - StepexNo2
- My kitten has 12.7k updoots on r/chonkers. - FernandoLemon
- "And there were no survivors..." - skan123
This one took the word “heartwarming” literally:
- That-a Spicy Meatball I had when I dined in that fancy Italian restaurant. It gave me heartburn for a week, but worth it. - TheFarmBoy
And this one is what I was hoping for:
- A long time ago, there lived a good demon. He eventually married a human woman, and his wife would give birth to a child. Years pass and the demon family lived a happy life where humans and demons can co-exist in peace. - YourEternalTroper

A few years back, there was this car chase that went through my town. The whole DC area was reporting live on it, even going as far as pre-empting all programming in favor of news coverage.
True story.
