Bun Alert System

98 users here now

A place to alert others/be alerted of bun sightings.

The smoler the bun the better, please see this for an explanation: https://xkcd.com/1682/

RULES:

  1. Be kind to each other. Buns are cute, cuddly, and nice. Be like buns.

  2. Posts should be images of real buns doing bun things. Bun things include eating, chilling, playing, hopping, and sleeping. You wouldn't want to be alerted of a capybara doing calculus through the Bun Alert System, would you? For other bun discussion, see some other communities below.

  3. Images should be of living, healthy, happy buns. The Bun Alert System exists to bring smiles to bun enjoyers around the world, not sour frowns.

  4. Keep it suitable for all bun enjoyers. Nothing too freaky or NSFW.

  5. With respect to this community, moderators are the smolest buns. Please shoot us a message if you have questions or concerns!

Hello fellow bun enjoyers!

Some of you may have noticed my comments on certain bun posts commending the poster for achieving the highest buns-per-photo ratio seen so far on our fair Bun Alert System. If you're one of the ones who noticed, good job! If not, that's okay, I still love you.

In this here meta post, I will be keeping track of the current titleholder, as well as maintaining a list of previous holders. The list is right here, right now! (bet you weren't expecting so soon, were you?)


👑 CURRENT TITLEHOLDER: 👑

User: @finitebanjo@lemmy.world

Post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/28153566

Buns-per-photo: 9


PREVIOUS TITLEHOLDERS:

Please give a welcoming round of applause, for our current & previous titleholders!


FREQUENTLY QUESTIONED ANSWERS:

Q: How do you determine the current titleholder?

A: Sort by new, enjoy bun photos, count number of buns in the photos, if new record observed, check older posts for greater than or equal bun count. If none found, update roster!

===

Q: Wait, I posted a bun photo with N buns in it (where N is the current uncontested high score), where's my recognition?

A: As much as your efforts are appreciated, titles are only granted to whomever achieves the record first. Don't give up though, you may find N+1 buns some other time!

===

Q: What do I win if I achieve a high score?

A: Eternal Internet fame (probably)

Found an adorable pair. Baby is under mom in the first pic but I got one of them both escaping my gaze.

My parents and neighbour are demanding the destruction of my bunny garden. The patch of grass and native plants that grows next to my garden. The patch of grass where the bunnies chill during the day when the sun is high.

I'm protesting. The bunny garden must stay. These old people are gonna have to fight me before they touch a blade of grass from my bunny garden.

You got a problem with buns and you got a problem with me. Plus I got a whole lot of native chickweed seeds and clover seeds. I'm ready to escalate and bomb both lawns with 'em.

I'm going to try to keep updating on this new batch when I can.

We have been here four years now and have been privileged to watch four litters grow up around us.

They are such a joy.

I may have to start carrying lettuce or something on me for the little guy when I go to this site.

It's gardening time so it's going outside early time so I don't melt which means I get to see the bunnies! They're scared of me despite me telling them they're allowed to eat all the tomatoes.

The squirrels are categorically not allowed, simply because I inherited my father in laws running feud.

Great Lakes region, USA. May 2026.

I caught this bun on a walk home after the sun had set. Its not a great photo, but its decent for being shot handheld at 400mm, 1/15s, with ISO 6400.

Banner: A traditional looking bun I saw a while back, unfortunately a bit late for an alert, not monarch sized

Hi! Before inundating your comm with pics of my buns, I wanted to double check that they meet your requirements.

Buns are cute, cuddly, and nice.

Posts should be images of real buns doing bun things. Bun things include eating, chilling, playing, hopping, and sleeping.

Images should be of living, healthy, happy buns.

They’re like loaves of bread that hop

Browsing through the recent posts, I think my only concern with these criteria is addressed: unlike loaves of bread, buns are not edible.

The problem is, while most of the buns posted here are similar to the unrelated banner pic, my buns are a little less traditional, so I’m unsure if they’d be welcomed here. For example, this bun is Halloween themed:

hmm

Are my buns welcome here? Or is this comm exclusionary?
