Bun Alert System

478 readers
15 users here now

A place to alert others/be alerted of bun sightings.

The smoler the bun the better, please see this for an explanation: https://xkcd.com/1682/

RULES:

  1. Be kind to each other. Buns are cute, cuddly, and nice. Be like buns.

  2. Posts should be images of buns doing bun things. Bun things include eating, chilling, playing, hopping, and sleeping. You wouldn't want to be alerted of a capybara doing calculus through the Bun Alert System, would you? For other bun discussion, see some other communities below.

  3. Images should be of living, healthy, happy buns. The Bun Alert System exists to bring smiles to bun enjoyers around the world, not sour frowns.

  4. Keep it suitable for all bun enjoyers. Nothing too freaky or NSFW.

  5. With respect to this community, moderators are the smolest buns. Please shoot us a message if you have questions or concerns!

I thought buns can count to only 4 and then everything above that is hrair (many).

I love how the bun facts started out somewhat related to peoples' ideas about bunnies and now they're just way out in left field.

Which has been your favourite fun bun fact so far?

[–] Elevator7009@kbin.run 6 points 1 month ago

Probably 2 or 3. Posting them for the benefit of people reading this:

Fun fact about buns #2: A bun's ears are so powerful, they're sensitive to radio & satellite signals! This enables them to watch TV with their minds!

Fun fact about buns #3: Buns are incredibly intelligent! So intelligent, that they've engineered for themselves rocket-booster shoes! This is what enables buns to hop very long distances!

Pretty out there but still distinctly connected to some known thing about rabbits.

Now that I think about it, I have not actually read Watership Down but I think I heard somewhere about its bunnies only being able to count to 4 or something. Fact #A feels like a fun move in the opposite direction.
