So long and short I enjoy watching Alone, a "survival" show where a bunch of off-grid r-slurs starve themselves to win a couple of bucks. They're "Alone" in the sense they after they are dropped off they have no communication but a radio to say "halp, I am dying, please come get me" and random medical check-ups that I'm sure some insurance guy was like "yeah you need that."

So I'm browsing Netflix and I see Alone: Australia and I'm legit and decide to tune in. The last several seasons of Alone have been up in northern Canada so I'm like "cool, change of scenery, win win"

Well I'm half way thru the third episode and 3 of the 10 people have already quit. It's DAY 3.

Why did the people call to quit?

1. I miss my ugly wife and kid.

2. I can't start a fire boo fricking who

3. I'm 22 and I got covid!

Yes, that is right, in their little med-kit designated for if you chop into your leg with an ax they have Covid tests. This season was from 2023.

Other things of how cucked Australia and this version of the show is.

Some lesbo PhD felt bad about having to hook a worm to go fishing, and states "i wouldn't mind not catching a fish."

Multiple people are already dizzy from lack of food.

If they cast a line for fishing they have to sit and watch it incase they hook a platypus because it might drown and they must save it.

They can't hunt with a bow.

Told NOT to eat any forgeable mushrooms incase they misidentify

In disbelief I scrolled through to the end and at the end of this episode another cuck fricker leaves.

This isn't in the middle of the outback either, but on Tasmania, where it rains like, 200 days a year or some shit. And it's a little chilly. And plenty of trees. And nobody has mentioned a croc so probably no fricking crocs.

This season is 11 episodes plus a reunion. I don't think I can make it bros.

I just want to watch my hecko outdoor survival shit why must those down-under cute twinks be so fricking lame

A contraception debate is gripping one of Argentina's most notable luxury neighbourhoods – not for its wealthy residents, but for its original occupants, the capybaras.

In recent years, the lovable rodents have been accused of overrunning the Nordelta, a meticulously landscaped and manicured suburb north of Buenos Aires.

Now, in a bid to quell reproduction – some accounts suggest the number of capybaras has tripled to more than 1,000 in the past three years – the Buenos Aires government has approved wildlife population control plans, involving selective sterilisation and contraceptives.

Marcelo Cantón, a resident and spokesperson for the Nordelta Neighborhood Association, says that while capybaras themselves are not a problem, the "excessive growth" of their populations is, adding that it is causing the creatures to "fight among themselves, fight with dogs in private gardens", leading to traffic accidents.

"Capybaras have more than 500 hectares of lakes and public parks here, with no predators, no hunters to catch them for slaughter," he says. "There are none of the limits to population growth that exist elsewhere."

According to El País, the new plans would see two doses of contraceptives injected into 250 of the rodents, known locally as carpinchos, which authorities hope will stem reproduction for up to a year.

But not all neighbours are in agreement. The Nordelta sits within the Paraná Delta, an environmentally important wetland home to dense flora, an abundance of birds and dozens of species of mammals.

Silvia Soto and a group of neighbours known as "Nordelta Capybaras – We Are Your Voice" say the plans should be halted, dispute that there is an overpopulation problem and criticise property developers for ignoring proposals to create biological corridors and protected areas.

"For years, we have been asking for different, linked green areas that function as natural reserves connected by biological corridors, to protect the capybaras and preserve their survival and coexistence in their own natural space," Soto said, adding that the group's surveys had "not been taken into account".

Environmentalists are also now weighing in and calling on the government to protect the capybaras, which are the world's largest rodent, and the wetlands.
