In Cynthea Masson’s essay “What Did You Sing About?”: Acts of Questioning in “Once More, with Feeling” she writes:
[Dawn] sings these questions to her own reflection in the mirror. They are rhetorical in that the answer is implied. Her revealed truth or assertion is that she fears no one cares about her. However, her choice to pose rhetorical questions sabotages the possibility of response. In that sense, she is enabling the very thing she claims to fear. Moreover, this fear is not logical given the context. Her sister gave up her life for her and, thereafter, the entire Scooby gang has worked to look after her. Dawn must negate response through rhetorical questions because if she were actually to ask someone these questions, the answer would be yes.
The response from Buffy’s audience, however, may be different as many fans actively disliked the character, with her whiny self centeredness commonly cited as a main reason. (She does have her defenders as well.)

Well, bunnies need their excellent, nearly 360-degree panoramic vision to detect predators.
However, contrary to popular conception, carrots are not their primary food:
Fibre, in the form of hay and grass, is the most vital food for rabbits – it’s essential for their digestive health, and they can die without it. Whilst a small daily amount of green veg is good, a diet based solely on vegetables, fruit and carrots does not provide all the nutrients that rabbits need, leaving them malnourished.
Not that eating carrots actually improves vision, anyway
