World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not really. Rabbits can eat just about anything in small quantities, but thier digestive system is hyper specialized around eating plants, mostly grasses, If they don't get consistent access to hay (or quality grass alternative) they enter a state called GI stasis and die. Source: I own a few pet rabbits. One almost died because we gave him too many rasins. He gets compressed hay pellets with some added sugar as treats now.
I've not been religious for a long time now, but I don't know how else to phrase this:
I pray that one day I can put that knowledge toward just having a pet bunny.
... That would be nice.
Do... if you keep a bunbun as a pet, do they do better alone, or are they social enough that they need a buddy... or would two buddies in something like an apartment lead to fights?
... Can you potty train a rabbit like a cat, and let it roam around, or will it just relieve itself whereever?
I couldn't resist sending a picture. This is Ciel, one of our three rabbits. He lives by himself in the main room because he hates other rabbits, but he loves humans.
Adorable! =D
Ciel is a more creative name than Bunnicula, my first thought, lol.
I haven't thought about The Celery Stalks at Midnight in forever. Thanks for that blast from the past!
I recommend reading the wabbitwiki to get all the best information.
Rabbits are social, but they can also be territorial. It's typically recommend to keep a bonded pair of rabbits. One male and one female.
It's best to keep rabbits indoors, with at least 4 feet by 4 feet of play area. Typically people use portable dog pens. We used to do this, but once our rabbits got settled in their space, we removed the pens. Now they can go wherever they want, but they choose never to leave thier room.
They are litter box trained. It's a different kind of litter than cat litter. We use a layer of compressed pine pellets topped with hay.
Rabbits pee and poop in the litter box, but they will always poop a little bit outside the box. The nice thing is, rabbit poops are dry little balls that don't really smell, so we just vacuum it up.
I really like our rabbits. The hardest thing about them is all the bad information. For example, a pet store will sell you a hutch or cage which is much too small. They also will charge you way too much for hay and sell you unhealthy feed pellets. The wabbitwiki is a valuable resource.
Damn. I did not know you actually could litterbox train them, that's amazing.
I've had ex partners with guinea pigs and ferrets... but never rabbits.
I'll have to bookmark the wabbitwiki, thank you!
Yep, i had two holland lops growing up. They are relatively easy to litter train and their poop is great garden fertilizer too. Mainly because their digestive system isn't particularly efficient, from what I recall.
