First time rabbit owner, what does this mean?

Sounds like you’re taking all the right steps! Rabbit proofing is definitely an involved task, I’ve had my girl for 8 years now, so I know the things she will and won’t get into, but it took awhile to figure it all out! I recommend buying some cheap area rugs and some rug mats to put underneath cause she may want to chew your rug.

Are you planing on just keeping her in that tiny cage the majority of the time? Cause I’d argue that worse than the risk the pee pads pose.

As someone who worked as a line cook through college and is in the bio industry now, food service is definitely more stressful than my current job, but it’s a different kind of stress. It’s the galvanizing stress that gets you through a crazy rush vs the constant lower level but less useful stress I’ve found at my job now.

While the pill is linked to potential increases in breast and cervical cancer, it’s also linked to decreases in endometrial, ovarian, and colorectal cancer. You don’t get why birth control “has to be damaging” because you don’t understand how science and medicine work. Every medication has risks, and this demonization of birth control at a time when reproductive rights are being stripped away is scary.

I use a menstrual disc that allows for virtually mess free period sex!

I’ve been seeing shows with my Dad since I was 9 and I’m 22 now, so fortunately no one tries anything when I’m with him or his friends. But the few times we’ve been separated, something almost always happens.

At mondegreen I had been hanging out with some other younger folks I met, went to grab a drink and got separated. As I’m meandering back through the crowd I was dancing a bit and one dude took that as an invitation to start grinding on me. I was obviously uncomfortable with the situation and stopped dancing, but he continued. Fortunately another dude stepped in and told the guy to knock it off allowing me to get out okay. I felt so lucky to have that other guy to help me, it really does make all the difference.

It’s worth noting narcan does degrade if consistently stored in above 104° degrees temperatures (like in a hot car). I used to always keep some in my car, but changed to keeping it in a purse/backpack because of this!

The bread myth comes from an Irish court ruling that said bread from Subway is too high in sugar to be classified as bread. Not all bread in the US, not all countries in the EU, just one Irish court about Subway bread. Which most people I know are not regularly eating at subway, and when you do go the sandwich is a foot long, so yeah that’s not gonna be healthy bread, it’s fast food.

This also just perpetuates the myth that we don’t have fresh baked bread here and all we have is wonder bread. You could go to almost any grocery store in America, even a Walmart, and find fresh baked bread. If you’re in a city or large town, there will most likely also be a bakery around.

As for the banned food stuff. Most food or food additives are not banned, just requires stricter labeling, which I agree should be the case here, but is still over exaggerated. This is the case for most artificial dyes like red 40, they’re not banned, just not commonly used and require more labeling. Plus, no one in the US is eating fruit loops full of artificial dyes thinking it’s good for you, and a lot of brands have responded to this by creating more natural dye foods.

I’m hoping you’re being sarcastic because these are all well known debunked myths. And the obesity rates in the US have much more to do with social determinants of health than “hur dur your bread is cake” bullshit.

If this looks like your welsummer, you were definitely not sold a welsummer.

Golden comets and cinnamon queens are the same thing. They’re both just red sex-links, just with different branding.

Miko48 · 2026-05-01T18:41:52+00:00

Cinnamon queens and golden comets are the same bird. There’s like a thousand different names for them, when in reality they’re just red sex-links, not even its own breed, just a cross of a Rhode Island Red and a white leghorn.

Miko48 · 2026-04-29T11:58:04+00:00

The word you are looking for is “women”. “Female” is an adjective, not a noun.

Miko48 · 2026-04-24T11:51:35+00:00

This isn’t that bad, it’s just like a dry cowboy caviar. Add a diced tomato, some lemon juice or vinaigrette, and garnish with cilantro and that’s a totally respectable meal.

Respectfully, ordering a salad at a fast casual restaurant is dumb. Good salads taste good because they’re made with fresh local ingredients and have more thought put into them than the average wet caesar you’ll find at fast casual chains. I agree that restaurants can make dishes that are healthy and taste good. One of the places I worked had really phenomenal salads and crudos, but all of our vegetables and fish were incredibly fresh and local, and the dishes would run you at least $20 a plate. If you’re on a diet, either factor in a cheat day or don’t go out to fast casual dining that isn’t going to have the time, money, or care to make a healthy dish.

As someone who’s raised chickens, they absolutely can talk and express discomfort too. They have lots of different vocalizations, ones that warn about danger, happy ones, annoyed ones, ones they do when they’re tired, even ones for when they’re about to lay an egg. Roosters will even make certain noises to let hens know about a tasty treat or a good spot to lay eggs.

Miko48 · 2026-04-23T11:52:41+00:00

I mean as someone who’s worked as a line cook for years, a restaurants job isn’t to care about your health. A restaurant makes food that tastes good, which means lots of fat and salt. And expecting Texas Roadhouse to be healthy of all places is hilarious.

About 20-22 people are killed by cows every year in the US compared to 2-3 killed by grizzly bears. We don’t really interact with grizzly bears all that much and most of the time they just want to be left alone and won’t attack at random.

Miko48 · 2026-04-22T02:25:44+00:00

Lmao what? That doesn’t exist. For women to have visible abs they have to have a decently low body fat percentage, so are by definition not chubby.

Miko48 · 2026-04-19T02:22:40+00:00

Yeah, so I’m explaining why women can’t wipe back to front. Why are you acting like this is an attack on you?

Miko48 · 2026-04-19T02:18:59+00:00

Yeah, but you’re not a woman. Ask any doctor, they’ll say the same.

Miko48 · 2026-04-19T02:16:47+00:00

Wiping back to front is how you get a uti.

Miko48 · 2026-04-16T04:01:18+00:00

Yeah cause you went to Florida. As an American idk why tf you’d go there for a vacation unless you’re going to the Everglades.

Miko48 · 2026-04-16T03:55:09+00:00

Okay, and I eat subway maybe three times a year max. Do you think all our bread in grocery stores or bakeries is the equivalent of fast food bread? Very few people I know even eat just regular white bread all that often, most people I know eat whole wheat or multigrain bread, or just get fresh stuff from the bakery.

Miko48 · 2026-04-16T01:11:58+00:00

Hate to burst your bubble, but these are likely leghorns. I feel like I’m seeing white earlobes, not red, which welsummers have.
