Hm, I was wondering the same thing and the discussion did not seem to have a direct answer, so here’s what I found: bunny ears means that after the initial overhand knot, you make a loop with each shoelace, and then tie the knot again with the loops. This is in contrast to the “standard” way (link below), where the initial overhand knot is followed by one loop, bringing the other shoelace around it, and pulling through.
I never even knew you could do it the bunny ears way! It looks so much easier.
I’m the opposite of ewang—I only ever learned the standard way and that was after a lot of effort as a ~3-year-old. But now, it’s just automatic, like I’m sure it is for everyone else. I’ll also have to check out the Ian knot for its speed.
Dvorak/Qwerty, why am I suddenly thinking of you?
What are bunny ears?

Upvoted because of the link. It’s a whole new world to me.
