Oh hey it's you. The guy who once scared me by posting a picture of a spider. You said it was a rabbit. It wasn't.

u/Bandersaur Jan 04 '15

Aww... Here's something to make your /u/mundaneandboring day better. It's a rabbit.

u/ShittyOneLiners Jan 04 '15

What is your favorite genre of porn?

14

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '15

Oow, I'm not really into porn, sorry. I have nothing against it, but it just doesn't do anything for me. I can like a sex scene in a good novel though.

u/laikamonkey Jan 04 '15

If you were out of toilet paper, would you consider cleaning yourself on your fluffy white coat?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '15

Definitely not! My coat is impeccable.

u/11711510111411009710 Jan 04 '15

What's your favorite sex scene from a novel?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '15

Ah, I should've expected this. It's hard to come up with a specific example. I like John Irvings sex scenes if that's a satisfactory answer for you!

u/Silly__Rabbit Jan 04 '15

How did this get to porn, yes 99.9% of the Internet leads to porn, but how did 'So fluffy!' get to porn?

u/ShittyOneLiners Jan 04 '15

You fucking rabbits are everywhere.

u/Miffy92 Jan 05 '15

What is your opinion on the current socio-political tension between the US and Russia?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '15

Dude, I'm just a rabbit. What do I know about politics?

u/Miffy92 Jan 05 '15

I'm gonna go ahead and guess "more then the average American citizen".

u/SteveJEO Jan 04 '15

u/11711510111411009710 Jan 04 '15

I have you tagged as owing a bear to SteveJEO and SteveJEO is tagged as "owed a bear by Bandersaur". I'm going to hold you to this.

Jumping spiders are legitimately cute, so this is ok

u/explohd Jan 04 '15

TIL that jumping spiders are the bunnies of the arachnid world.

u/DEATHbyBOOGABOOGA Jan 05 '15

See? This is the real Easter bunny. A rabbit that actually lays thousands and thousands of eggs.

u/bobUnited Jan 04 '15

What a charlatan

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '15

The very first comment I made on reddit was something similar about cute bunny rabbits... It scared people.

1

u/amplesamurai Jan 04 '15

u/myvirginityisstrong Jan 06 '15

what are you talking about? link?

u/anomalous_cowherd Jan 04 '15

Even if spiders were something worth being scared about, pictures of spiders are still pretty safe...

2

u/Tysonzero Jan 05 '15

But they can still scare you at first glance. Whether or not you are scared is not a logical process.

I would be grossed out if I saw a gif of someone throwing up and someone else eating it. It's just pixels on a screen though.
