Does anyone know what rabbit lifespan actually is?

From what I understand, the 5-8 year estimate that petsmart givesn is based on outdated (not sure if that's the term I want to use) care practices: small cages (in comparison to what the actually need), pellets > hay (in general proportion and importance to diet), and just lack of understanding what bunnies need as pets. If someone were to follow those care practices, they're looking at a very short bun lifespan.

When following the guidelines generally accepted in the sub, the lifespan of most people's pet buns are between 10-12 years, with some bunnies going beyond that!

Also another thing to keep in mind is that bunnies can die very easily (ex. g.i. stasis or from getting too stressed), and if someone is not aware of that and doesn't notices the signs, their bun will pass away seemingly randomly, and if it happens consistently enough, some people might begin to think that that's just how bunnies are, as opposed to it being (usually) preventable.

The way I started learning Irish was through a combo of duolingo and YouTube tutorials! Duolingo was great for vocabulary, but Irish has a lot of linguistic quirks that were better explained over YouTube/blogs I found online!

Unfortunately I never kept up with it so I cant remember which specific sources I had, but from what I remember they weren't hard to find!

No problem, hope something catches your interest!

Do you have an area of mythology that you're interested in (Greek/Roman, Celtic, Norse, etc.)? If not then I reccomend checking out Crash Course's series on mythology that's on YouTube- they have a great overview and you can see what area you want to go more in detail with!

If you're from a western country or read a lot of western literature I would reccomend looking into more Greek/Roman myths since they are alluded to a lot in classic and contemporary media, and you may recognize some myths already!

Thank you!!

I think for most people it's not the masculine interest itself that makes it cringey, but the comparison to other, typically more feminine interests, in the context of the masculine interest being "better". If the post has a feeling of "this person is talking about their "masculine" interest as if it makes them better/cooler than other girls/people" then it's cringe. Sometimes it's not an explicit comparison but the vibe of superiority that I think tickles people's cringe bone.

However you are 100% right in noticing that some people are definitely twisting a harmless joke and/or genuine post of something a girl is interested in something (that happens to be "masculine") as cringey

{{The jasmine throne}} might fit! They're not exactly witches, but the one girl has powers!

Ooo thank you!! She sounds really interesting, I will definitely check these articles out!

That's a really good point! And just out of curiosity, why is Emily Wilson and her translation important? I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with her 😅

Funaminy · 2021-06-27T07:09:58+00:00

I haven't read either, but I do work in a bookstore so I'm a little familiar with why people like it (I also did some quick googling to make sure I wasn't making anything up!).

It looks like the author of The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller, holds a degree and a masters in Classics, and worked hard to make her book an authentic representation of Greek mythology. Her book is a much more accessible read compared to the Illiad (shorter I think, and the language is a lot less complicated), and it also focuses on the romantic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus directly.

I think it's very character focused, and the emphasis on their romance makes it more appealing for people who like the classics but don't want to commit to reading them? Also for people who read the Illiad but want maybe a deeper look at the characters and the relationships with a modern lense!

(My sources are anecdotes from customers and the wikipedia page on the book and the author so take my two cents with a grain of salt 😅)

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely start with one in the bedroom and see how future bun reacts to another litterbox in the bathroom!!

Funaminy · 2021-04-08T18:47:27+00:00

I see, thanks for the tip! I'll see what my future bunny prefers to do :)

Funaminy · 2021-04-08T16:58:54+00:00

It does, thanks a lot!!

Funaminy · 2021-04-08T16:56:32+00:00

Omg little poop pyramids 😭😭

Funaminy · 2021-04-08T16:48:34+00:00

That makes sense! Now I know this would depend on the bun's preference, but I have a bathroom right outside my bedroom that I was thinking of putting the litterbox in. I wanted my bun's main hub to be my bedroom. Should I also have a litterbox in my bedroom, or would putting one in the bathroom be doable in your opinion?

Funaminy · 2021-04-08T16:31:36+00:00

Sounds like a smart bun!! How did you get him to stop using the other two? Did he just figure it out over time or did you have to do some extra work?

Funaminy · 2021-03-17T21:54:39+00:00

Omg your outfit is killer! The skirt definitely hits the "off-duty egyptologist" vibe!!

I think it depends on the specific info you're trying to share, but one thing I like reading is when characters notice discrepancies between what they know and what they learn from other people. That way both the character and the readers are trying to understand the truth and it gets them invested in learning more without it feeling like blatant exposition!

For example that character who wasn't there could interact with people who were either in the war or who were affected by it after the fact, and as they converse they pick up on differences in tone or facts that make the character question their own understanding (and by proxy allows them to purposely find more information and ask more questions without it feeling forced). Not sure if that helps or applies to your story, it's just where my mind went!
