Fun fact, baby bunnies are so high stress they can die from little baby heart attacks if they are too stressed.

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 51 points 7 months ago

That high stress could include smelling urine of a predator.

Imagine just dying because you smell cat urine.

Because of a roommate I had around 2006-2007, I don't have to try very hard to imagine.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 54 points 7 months ago

Haha, I never considered that perspective I envy may cats often, but they do freak out at the smallest thing, like one cat is terrified of trash bags, but only when they are empty.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 71 points 7 months ago

Makes sense to me. Why do empty trash bags exist? Nobody wants an empty trash bag, so everyone fills them up all the time. Why not sell them pre-filled? It just doesn't make sense.

I suspect FooBarrington might be a cat irl...

You have no concrete proof. If there ever was proof, it's certainly not on the table. Oh, and somebody seems to have barfed on it.

[-] CaySimit@lemmy.ml 29 points 7 months ago

at least it doesn't have to pay taxes

[-] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 16 points 7 months ago

Wanna switch lives with a begger?

[-] CaySimit@lemmy.ml 21 points 7 months ago

Being a begger doesn't make you free of taxes unfortunately So no thanks i'll take the rabbit

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 7 points 7 months ago

Naw, I just wanna go live in the woods, ya know, like the Libertarians.

[-] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Didn’t they get eaten by bears?

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 6 points 7 months ago

Still better than paying taxes

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

They get eaten by elephants.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, and now that bears are a problem in the nearby towns that the libertarians didn’t (directly) fuck up.

Meanwhile -

I've heard that the birds don't sing songs to us but rather either tempt mates for reproduction or warn other same-sex birds to come too close or else!

[-] M137@lemm.ee 40 points 7 months ago

That fact that anyone would even think that they're singing "for us" is disturbing. It's so deeply stupid.

[-] Damaskox@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

I could assume that many people think X being here (just) for us 🤔

But you have a point.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I agree. When there's no threat to us, it's easy to become self-centered.
A walk in the woods isn't so nice when you're at the bottom of the food chain.

My cats bring me toys because they think I cannot hunt.

[-] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 12 points 7 months ago

With the exception of mockingbirds. Who do it to be jackasses.

I had one in my yard that copied the sound of a tool once, I walked away and then heard it going and of course I'm thinking "how the hell did that turn on?". Of course I go to check and it's off and was just a mocking bird. It then proceded to make that noise for the rest of the day.

TIL Tarkov players are rabbits

"All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed."

[-] PeWu@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

You made me remember one very cool novel with that phrase

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

For anyone curious it seems to be Watership Down.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

You know all those animals that have huge litters? If the population is stable, guess how many survive to reproduce.

[-] rubythulhu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Either I am a bunny, or bunnies have ptsd, or both
