The bunny is primarily a German tradition. It became prevalent in the US because of the high volume German immigrants. However, the bunny was already spreading throughout the Hapsburg Monarchy prior to America exporting its version. Decorating eggs is also a Slovenian tradition that came to prominence when what would be become the US was still just colonies. Not a lot of pop culture getting shipped back to Europe back then.

Dog dad, but my dude has to poke his head behind the curtain about every three minutes just to verify I did get flushed down the drain. My gal patiently waits for me to finish drying off because apparently rolling on the damp towel is great fun.
This is the revelation my mustache has been waiting for.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump: I am strongly considering pulling out of NATOEnglish
1·3 days agoI think you’re right no one else had the personality to form the cult, but the behind the scenes player have gotten where they need to be and are embedded enough they don’t need what follows to be another Trump. Elon is too egotistical to control, Vance has no charisma but will comply (better than Pence did). It won’t matter if the cult dissolves, they played their part, and even their objections won’t matter.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What advice/solutions did your therapy actually give you?
10·3 days agoValidating that I was being abused. Everybody else either didn’t want to talk about it, told me I was the problem, or justified it. I had become self-destructive because I didn’t know what I was. Was I crazy? I was pretty sure i was the victim, but maybe I had brought it on myself. Maybe it was in my head. Maybe what was happening was normal and my expectations were off. Being told what was happening was indeed what I thought was going on and to build a support network to get out was life-changing. I mean, I’m still a fucking mess, but less of one. Probably need to fix my sleep schedule.
Do you put the sunscreen on your manpelt to keep it fresh longer, or do you wear it yourself under the manpelt?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do so many fellow Americans not want to hear anything about the Iran war or oil crisis?
9·7 days agoThis encapsulates why it’s so hard to get the majority of Americans to care. The cycle of war, price increases, dwindling quality of life, crumbling infrastructure, growing wealth inequality, racism, misogyny, bigotry; it’s all normalized over decades. Americans don’t get shocked by anything unless it happens directly to them. And not “oh gas prices are up again, that sucks”, but “a cop gunned down my child”. Without having to suffer personally a lot of us will continue to abide the suffering of others and act like being made aware of it is an affront to our right to blissful ignorance.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?
71·7 days agoBecause society has decided parental rights override teenage autonomy. Runaway and they’ll call the cops, who will return you to them, or if they want to be asses, throw you in juvie. So you maliciously comply while expressing your utter disdain for them until you attain the age of majority, then you abandon them and move on with your life. At that point you become a wage slave, have to live somewhere, and much like Dark Helmet, realize you’re surrounded by assholes.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Everyone who get in gets a butt-snipe.”


The rabbit/hare as a fertility symbol is a pretty frequent one across a lot of cultures, kinda like solar deities with solstice holidays. The cult of Ishtar died out in the 600s, the first mention of a tradition of an egg laying hare in connection with the Christian holiday is specifically from Germany a thousand years later.
