#1871: Bun Alert explain
![Since buns range from crepuscular to nocturnal, it's recommended that you enable the scheduled "Do Not Disturb" mode on your phone to avoid being woken by alerts about Night Buns. Bun Alert](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/bun_alert.png)
[Beret Guy and Ponytail see a rabbit sitting in the grass; Beret Guy points to the bun.]
Beret Guy: Bun alert!
Ponytail: Oh, yeah! Cute!
Beret Guy: Gotta document this. I’ll notify everyone, send out a push alert.
Ponytail: …to who?
[Zoom in on Beret Guy and Ponytail; Beret Guy taps on his phone.]
Beret Guy: Everyone subscribed to the alert system.
Ponytail: Alert system?
Beret Guy: Yeah! We built it over the last few years. It’s pretty small. Still looking for investors.
Ponytail: But…why are you alerting people about rabbits?
[Zoom out; Beret Guy puts away his phone, points at the bun.]
Beret Guy: I mean…look at them. They’re like loaves of bread that hop.
Ponytail: I see.
Beret Guy: People need to know.
[Zoom on Beret Guy in a frameless panel.]
Beret Guy: They need to know:
Beret Guy: There are buns.
[Ponytail walks off, Megan comes running towards Beret Guy with a phone in her hand.]
Ponytail: Okay, uhh, I’m gonna go.
Megan: I got the alert! Where’s the bun? Is it small?
Beret Guy: Extremely.
Megan: Oh my God.
