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:
-
Be kind to each other. Buns are cute, cuddly, and nice. Be like buns.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Keep it suitable for all bun enjoyers. Nothing too freaky or NSFW.
-
With respect to this community, moderators are the smolest buns. Please shoot us a message if you have questions or concerns!

Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.
Rules:
- Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
- Be excellent to each other.
