Took me a bit to realize it was animated. Cute!

!snakes@lemmy.world ;) they are cute too! Also from my quick check of this instance (recommended on my instance), https://falconry.party. Bunny enjoyers be warned, falconry.party has pictures of dead rabbits as falcons hunt them. !snakes@lemmy.world has no pictures of snake kills (both ones committed by snakes, and ones happening to snakes) yet and I doubt things like will be posted there for awhile. I'm pretty sure the latter would be very unappreciated over there.
In retrospect it might be a little weird that my two most favored animals have a predator-prey relationship ^^; and now that I am trying to appreciate birds it's getting even worse haha
I'll be honest, it is really hard for me to see this one as wholesome, given I'm part of a household where two people did not want a dog and one did. We got overruled. The dog-wanter promised they would do all the work, and I knew that that promise would be broken. I brought that up several times before the purchase.
Well, the people who didn't want the dog (including myself) get stuck with all the work. I for one do not like the dog one bit. I hate it. I have a feeling if it seriously injured one of us the dog-wanter would fight to keep it and flat-out ignore any trauma that might have been acquired from that situation (and tbh that already kind of happened). I want it given to a shelter as soon as possible. The other person—I cannot gauge their feelings, sometimes they agree with me but sometimes they call it a nickname as if they love it.
I am glad for all the people who are happy but man, please don't think because of all these "man who didn't want dog likes it anyways" posts that you can just bring an animal home that others in the household don't want and expect it to turn out like the memes.
I don't like to be the person ruining everyone else's fun, but I figure this is just one meme, a small bit of ruined fun, compared to the giant dump on my parade that taking care of an animal I don't like and that I never wanted is. There are lots of responsibilities that can be unexpectedly dumped on me that I will handle with grace. This is not one of those responsibilities. I don't want anyone else subjected to this because "look at all the anecdotes of people who said they did not want an animal and liked it anyways, there was a whole subreddit for that, surely it'll turn out the same if I do it!" And if I'm just being stupid and nobody would ever take that as evidence… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not Eastern cottontail, or just the lighting? The fur looks different
Thanks for addressing my concern. With this additional context it looks like he's trying to refuse without being straightforward about it (from my end). Although I get it is a tactic to try to be nice instead of hurtful, it often just leads to more hurt, especially when people take the action to do "X" and they still get a "no". Wasted effort trying to convert a "no" to a "yes" that could never be converted, and probably inadvertently pissing off someone who wishes you would just take a hint when you understandably take them at face value because some people do legitimately say "no, for X reason" and could be converted to a "yes" when X is addressed. It would be better for all parties to be straightforward. As someone who cares a lot about being nice and protecting peoples' feelings, it is, in fact, very possible to be straightforward and honest without being rude or hurtful.
Not sure why you are owed Blaze's efforts on your instances specifically, and why a "no" prompts such a negative, unflattering comparison. You might not actually believe you are entitled to his efforts, but the harsh comparison in reaction to his "no" is what makes me perceive you as feeling that way. I am really not used to people who don't feel entitled to someone's efforts speaking that way when they refuse.
I appreciate and acknowledge your efforts, I know you made some software to help people find replacement communities for subreddits and to mirror content from other sites to the Fediverse but to be honest this comment leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Especially given all the posts they do make to try to contribute to the Fediverse and grow it—but at least from what I see, they do not want to take on the additional tasks of modding or administrating your instance and you find their reasons unacceptable so you make this comparison, which frankly looks like an attempt to insult them to me.
And that unflattering comparison leaves me somewhat scared to post this comment lest I get one too, for having wrongthink, too much sympathy for someone you think I should not, insert other insults here. But I also figure I should probably speak up instead of getting in the habit of letting my fear of conflict (and lack of experience with seeing people speak harshly to me or others irl) control me especially when I feel I see something that should not have happened.
Did Blaze tell you your communities are all trash or something? I really do not see why you are reacting so harshly.
I dreamt I took a picture of 6 bunnies and posted here waiting for my award.
To be totally honest with you, I did not even notice the red line under the alligator. Not sure how I overlooked that. Rewatched and looked into it. The red line, admittedly unfortunately positioned under the alligator in the thumbnail, is just a golf course thing marking off a water hazard on the side of the course.
I also made the link send people directly to the fox part of the video, which is after the alligator part.

I'm seeing buns less and less often, it's a good thing I have a lot of unposted bunny pictures stocked up for Lemmy!
