All three are from the same franchise: Resident Evil movies, the last one is the Red Queen, an avatar of an AI control system based on the daughter of the creator of the T-virus.
its the AI of a young alice controlling the resident evil hives/ bioweapons. the 2nd one seemed to have been taken from parasite eves, dog transformation.
If the 6 “limbs” include the specialized limbs on its head, then the Easter Bunny is not an insect because the 6 legs on an insect come out of its thorax.
This means…the Easter Bunny is an alien! I’m on to you alien sympathizer!
Jesus wasn't dead for three days. Dude died at like Friday night and was back before Sunday morning!!! If you got off work on Friday at 5 pm, and then came into work 6 am on Sunday, you would not call that a 3 day weekend smh lying ass Sunday school teachers
Okay but that's still not the point. The point is I had this dream where instead of a big stone wheel in front of the tomb, they put a big wheel of cheese. And it was up to you and me to help [Cheesus] eat his holy way out of the tomb so grab a cracker.
The point is I like cheese and if we can make a religion around it I'm there.
edit: it was right there i don't know why i missed it the first time
The rabbit doesn't lay eggs. They are both Celtic fertility symbols. Ostara is a spring festival tied to the spring equinox focused on awakening and rebirth. The church of Rome repurposed it into Easter.
Got it. The Easter Bunny is an immigrant, over 1,500 years old, and has at least one ovipositor. Let me restate the remaining question: Why does it lay/bring Celtic fertility symbols??
I learn so much here.
Well where I live most of the exposure to the rabbit is american. If the origin is not american it does not mean it's not being proliferated by them. Same as santa claus. 20-30 years ago almost nobody here got gifts from Santa. It was either saint Nicholas on 6. December or father frost whenever he decided to come (no set date).
But now with just how prevalent american made media is it's annoying how many of their customs are coming here and displacing local ones.
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.
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.
Recently I've been reading the book Eifelhelm, which features a character named "Okham." Another character familiar with him says he's met Okham's successor and says "he used your razor." It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that wasn't meant literally. My first thought was that it was unsanitary, though the relevant part of the book is set in the 1300's so I suppose that wasn't a major concern.

The bunny, and the eggs are both symbols of fertility. I’ve no idea why it’s the way it is nowadays though. Commercialisation?

Oh so that's who americans got it from and are jow raping everybody with them. Good to know the historical context.

No. But I have never locally seen the easter hunny as traditional. It was imported by the americans
nomy@lemmy.zip · 12 pts · 131d
The Easter Bunny has been around since the 1500s but if it helps you to think that all of the evils in the world are American you're free to do that.

I have a rough estimate. and if it's correct, it's certainly not imported from the US

Huh... are we really sure it's not just a mammal that lays eggs? Occam's Razor and all that.

Platypus exists, so there's precedent
bryndos@fedia.io · 4 pts · 130d
It's also called a "duck-billed" platypus, so there must be other types. "Kangaroo-eared" platypus really doesn't seem any more far-fetched.
