Really ties the room together.

I get confused every time I see the word "chuffed" because i have no idea if becoming chuffed is a good or bad thing.

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Chuffed is slang for very pleased in the UK. More specifically it's when something good has just happened to you that's causing you to grin uncontrollably like a lunatic.

As my crude father would say: "I'm chuffed to buggery!"

Although buggery is a bad thing on its own, when combined with chuffed it's like a +1 enchantment instead.

Especially when someone gets "chuffed to bits"

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's the most negative-sounding positive word, isn't it?

Up the chuff = good, down the chuff = bad

[–] sunstoned@lemmus.org 1 points 2 years ago

"Chuff" in the context of rock climbing = bad, made an effort but didn't get very far / fell a lot

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

So you're chuffed about it?

[–] Balooog@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

I have the same reaction to nonplussed

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That bunny has a better living space than I did all through college.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That bunny is my manager now. He drives a nicer car than I do.

They have a mat, on a mat, on a carpet...

This is why I suck at interior design. It all seems so asinine to me.

I bet he's the best Bunnies and Burrows GM and his surname is something bun-punny resembling Mercer 😉

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean at the risk of being "whooshed"

The rug is to prevent staining the carpet, and if I was them I would actually have a plastic layer between the rug/carpet.

The hay mat is going to be MONCHED.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If it were contained in some way, that would make sense to me, but it's free to roam as far as I can see. As for the hay mat, that still seems strange to me, but fair enough.

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So he looks litter trained based on the box, so my "guess" is it's to help keep any related stains to this carpet, same you don't wanna put you litter box on a carpet for a cat, also if all his toys/food are on the rug, he'll probably stay on the rug most of the time.

Just a guess though.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The hay mat is for eating/playing.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think I have that same rug

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do you feel about carrots and leafy greens?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I feel I should probably consume more of them. Wait, am I a rabbit?

Is this Bugs’ Basilisk?

[–] Mechaguana@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Eeeeeh whats up doc

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah carrots are not really that good for rabbits. Maybe you are a human after all. Yipeeee!!

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But they still insist that they need to consume more of it.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Who insists? The wabbits?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I also have the same one

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

How do you train bunny to use litter box. How do you train cats to use litter boxes, for that matter.

[–] corvi@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago

Rabbits I’m not sure. Cats naturally want to bury their leavings, so they actually train themselves just fine. Show them where it is, keep it clean, and 99% of the time that’s that.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

You just toss the cat into the litter box after setting it up and they're like "this is fucking rad, dude! Thanks! Now leave me alone to do my bidness".

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

tbh when I had them they’d just shit where they wanted to

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

find little balls of doo doo everywhere

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

I have never litter trained a baby rabbit, but they generally just poop where there is hay.

Sometimes it is also helpful to pick up their droppings and put it in the litterbox, but it is largely not necessary.

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love your username. It’s both the name of a starship maneuver, and of adjusting a Starfleet uniform 😁

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you! I picked the uniform adjustment for my profile pic.
