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.

Codeberg released an emergency statement regarding a powerful alt right attack that endangered the safety of everyone who has ever used codeberg. Sources say this is was probably organized by a DOGE-Steve Bannon alliance
We stay strong against hate and hatred
Codeberg public relations team
Wed 12 February 2025
Category: Announcement
Intro
Codeberg is currently suffering from hate campaigns due to far-right forces, and so are our users. First and foremost, we apologize for everyone who has recently received a notification email from our system containing offending and potentially traumatizing content. We are working hard on containing the effects on our users and systems.
Most importantly, your private data was not leaked. All emails have been generated through Codeberg's servers using the notification feature and the abusers had no access to your email address directly.
Fighting hate and far-right forces is important to us. Read to the end of this article to learn why.
What has happened?
In the past days, several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights on Codeberg have been subject to hate attacks, such as massive spam of abusive messages in their issue trackers. We have been monitoring the situation closely and have tried to clean up the content as quickly as possible.
Often, content remained available only for a few and up to 30 minutes. Due to constrained personal capacities, some rare cases have remained online for longer. We appreciate all your reports to [email protected] that help us identify abuse quickly.
On 12 February 2025, an abuser has escalated the attacks to a next level. Instead of targetting individual projects, they have started to create abusive content and mentioned Codeberg users in chunks of 100 each. Depending on the notification settings of users (if you are a user on Codeberg, you can modify it in your settings), these generate notification emails that contain a copy of the post that includes the mention - and thus the abusive content via email.
Although our staff reacted quickly, blocked access to the used functionality and deleted the user accounts, they managed to generate a large amount of notification emails already.
Since this attack is not only harming Codeberg users but the platform itself, both via technical means (we had brief downtime of our systems and our mail server was suffering a lot), as well as by harming the reputation of our platform and trust users have shown us. We expect this incident to be in response to our swift moderation of the previous campaigns that targeted only individual projects.
How could this happen?
Please understand that Codeberg.org is driven by volunteers mostly. We have sufficient capacity to run the platform under normal conditions, and normal conditions also include some headway to deal with abuse campaigns that come and go. We suppose that most readers did not notice the spam campaigns of the past days, and we are happy that we managed to contain them quickly. We are fighting with advertisement spam, phishing and malware week to week.
However, our capacity was obviously exhausted this time, when it comes to attacks that target us specifically. And we apologize for this.
You might wonder why there are not more technical countermeasures in place to prevent this type of abuse. Technical measures evolve over time, and we have implemented several protections on multiple levels that are trying to contain the amount of abuse you see day to day.
However, doing proper rate-limiting is hard. We need to ensure that legitimate usage of our API and interface is possible, including custom scripts that import or synchronize massive amounts of issues from projects on other platforms. There are some rate-limits tailored to the previous abuse vectors we have seen, which was mostly aggressive advertizing, and so it would not have been possible to create these massive postings if they would have contained a hyperlink to another website, for example.
However, just spamming notification emails to users is a new abuse vector to us, and we did not sufficiently prepare for this. For that, we are sorry.
What will Codeberg do?
Currently, we are investigating the details of the attack and we have implemented short-term countermeasures and monitor activity on the platform closely. Further, we are responding to hundreds of emails from our users that ask about the incident. Some request the deletion of their data in response.
Next up, we will make plans on how to improve our protection against this and future kinds of abuse attacks on Codeberg itself to reduce the likelihood of similar things from ever happening again.
If you want to help with development work on Forgejo, the free/libre and open source software that powers Codeberg, please reach out. Go developers who can commit some time and patience to implement one our more technical measures in the codebase are much appreciated.
Unrelated to the current incident, we have worked with NLnet in the past weeks and secured funding for some moderation cowtools. A meeting was scheduled for later today at 20.00 CET to talk about technical architecture for a feature that allows reporting abuse directly in the app and the goal is to implement it for the next release of Forgejo.
Far-right forces endanger free/libre software projects
We will not be discouraged in our fight against far-right ideologies. They are currently on the rise in many parts of the world, and we believe it is important to protect all kinds of marginalized groups. However, if you believe this does not affect your project, you are wrong. Far-right forces pose a threat to all of us.
Extreme right forces actively target members of our communities and discriminate based on ethnicity and gender, political background, sexual orientation, disabilities, nationality and faith. However diversity is an important asset in free/libre software communities and it is what makes our software great and development productive.
By targetting (Editor's note: Codeberg can't afford a spell checker) some of our most active translators, nicest designers, best developers and all other motivated contributors, they are hurting the free/libre software ecosystem as a whole.
Don't be fooled if right-wing forces promise to "promote open source" in their political agenda. This has nothing to do with the values of our movement! This is about national patriotism and protectionism, and they will happily accept splitting our community on their way.
We all know that the free/libre software ecosystem won't work this way. Every human is an integral and equally important part of it, and targetting some of our community members threatens the ecosystem as a whole.
Let's together stay strong and united against the emerging threats. We stay strong against discrimination of all kind, including but not limited to sexism, transphobia, homophobia, racism, antisemitism and ableism. And we hope that you all join us for this mission.
A big shout-out to all the projects that collect facts and resources against hate and discrimination and that have been the primary goal of these attacks. Support them if you can.
If you ever considered supporting the fight against right-wing forces, for example by joining political movements and parties, organizing protests or getting involved in online communities with this goal - now might be the best time to move ahead.
Again, we apologize for the disruption of your work and the abusive content delivered to your mailboxes. We are doing our best to contain the situation.
We'd like to thank everyone who signaled their support in the current situation, via e-mail, Mastodon and in Matrix chats. This means a lot to us.
Thank you for your trust and support!
Your Codeberg Public Relations team

UraniumDonGER
: It's our drama duty to lay eggs into bongs
- 23
- 52
Basically this all starts, when this lovely wholesome video about totally underrated Biologist channel Team Candiru, about parasitic wasps laying eggs within the living bodies of caterpillar is shown.
VERY WHOLESOME FAMILY FRIENDLY
as you can imagine with such grisly morbid subjectmatter, the comments section is filled with jokes to cope about the horror of mother nature. Some inane jokes and comments are as follows.
jokes, people relating experiences, some praising the author of the video
You know, everybody having a good time, at the expense of the poor caterpillar which is the subject of our horror entertainment of the video.
AND THEN, our incredibly toughguy scottish cucks arrive when another inane innocuous comment is made
You guys get it, he's taking the piss about the fact that when British accented men with clear and handsome radio-voices are often commissioned to narrate Nature Documentaries, often many of then involving, unfortunate, gruesome and brutal natural events like Lions devouring recently born boks or whatever.
Unfortunately for the commenter, and all other non-Bongland native english-language speakers, whom are not well-versed in the various subdialects of the British Isles, the Narrator of the current video is not a blue blooded evil colonizer Englishman
and this causes seething RAGE and ANGER
for the Scotbongs in the comment section, because modern Scots want us to believe that they are still badass manly hairy-chested men, instead of the turbo p#ssies and weak meek wimps, whom are even bigger nanny state cucks than their Britbong southern neighbours,
and that they are VERY BADASS and will totally beat up outsiders
who dares to confuse them for their evil colonizer overlords!
ACTUALLY HE'S SCOTTISH, A MUCH LESS SHIT BONG
"Don't ever call him English again"
"1. It's a Scottish narrator, don't ever call an Scotsman English he'll break your nose
2. I think it's hilarious that you think there is a commentator sitting in the forest actively narrating this like it's a football match"
Now the problem is that Youtube comment threads are r-slurred and nonsensical and often doesn't display the order in which comments are made, and often only ever when comments are directed at others, this means that often are difficult to follow past the 1st 50 or so.
But even so, usually u can get the gist of arguments which popped up down a thread.
basically in this one clip, for example we had 3 different slapfights
ongoing at the same time!
The "52% of Scots voted to remain with the English though, so number 1 isn't exactly true lol" is one train of fight about how not all Scots hate england and the Independence movement and Nationalism is a joke
The "we were Lied to regarding our nations value, debt and prosperity. Had Theresa May not been a lying cow Scotland would be independent" is random sneed about Mommy May raping wingcucks further down the thread
and the "He doesn't... it's pretty hilarious that you think he does because he made a joke" comment is calling the other scots pathetic for blowing this internet tantrum
way out of proportion as the original comment was obviously an oblivious yank having made an innocuous comment!
This video was posted 4 years ago, yet the comments would continue this great debate for over a whole year lmoa.
Anyways it doesn't get anymore interesting, just constant sperging about
scotland. IS. NOT. ENGLISHHHHH
!britbongs also, @Aevann does this count as a non-reddit source of drama?

I just started watching but it's obvious to anyone. I wasn't even trying to find faults. So for example on the boxart of the rerelease of moana 1 or in the actual movie she looks like this:
However in Moana 2 her hair looks like it hasn't been cleaned, less soft, her eyes are more far apart like half a centimeter like her voice actor actually looks.
I think she's actually fatter too but it's all so subtle. The funny part is this is obviously DEI, there's no reason to change the models of the characters so much. Almost all the characters look more realistic and less cartoony and cute. This is super strange as normally you'd want the models to be more consistent. Also everyone's hair has less pieces to it, seeming more clumpy, meaning less render time. She also radiates more girl boss energy and the expressions are less cute. So she just has that wierd/b-word intentionally cringe face in some scenes.
Movie is fine other than it pissing on my autism and noticing powers.

There is a YouTube channel I watch that goes through hours of body cam footage and edits it down to something that fits within my ~15 min attention span. I know most dramacels have even shorter attention spans so I edited it down further into a 3 minute video
Here is the full video I stole the clips from:
Some amusing comments: (can't link comments on YouTube, I tried)
Some news about the trial:
Alexia Gah Gi Gay Mary Cutbank, 19, of Duluth, and Seneca Warrior Steeprock, 39, of Savage, are accused of ambushing and shooting Cameron Maurice Jones at least eight times in an apartment near Lake Avenue and West Fourth Street.
https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/new-trial-ordered-in-duluth-attempted-murder-case
The Minnesota Court of Appeals this week reversed the case of Seneca Warrior Steeprock, 43, who has been serving a statutory maximum 20-year sentence following his conviction by a Duluth jury in February 2023.
The attempt on Jones' life was believed to be connected to another Bemidji-area homicide, committed by Cutbank's brother in November 2020. The victim in that case was Charles "Chucky" Kingbird.
But according to court documents, Jones and Montana Cutbank had a "contentious history," and Jones' family believed he, not Kingbird, was the intended victim of that shooting.
I found another unrwlated homicide case involving Alexia Ga Gi Gay Mary Cutbank:
https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-alexia-gah-gi-gay-mary-cutbank-1
Funny interview with her codefendant
Background:
In August 2019, a year prior to the shooting in the video, Alexia Ga Gi Gay Mary Cutbank and her friend Mia Faye Sumner killed a man named "Fatback" on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Mia Sumner then stole Fatback's car, drove to Duluth, and was suspiciously lurking around the scene of a third, unrelated drive by shooting.
United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Alexia Gah Gi Gay Mary Cutbank (1), Mia Faye Sumner (2), Defendants.
Duluth Police Sergeant Joseph DeJesus testified that on August 20, 2019, at approximately 2:30 am, he and other police officers were investigating a drive-by shooting at the intersection of 24th Avenue West and West 3rd Street in Duluth, Minnesota. While clearing the scene, he noticed Sumner at a nearby bus shelter.
Sergeant DeJesus asked Sumner if she was high, and asked her which drug she had used. He then stated, "[o]k. Hey, relax. It's not illegal to be under the influence of meth. You know that, right? It's illegal to possess it, not to be under the influence of it."
Sergeant DeJesus: So where are you going to go in Duluth, right now?
Defendant Sumner: Home.
Sergeant DeJesus: But home [is] in Red Lake?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.
Sergeant DeJesus: So how did you get down here to Duluth?
Defendant Sumner: I stole a car.
Sergeant DeJesus: Where's the car at? Whose car did you steal?
Defendant Sumner: It was my car.
Sergeant DeJesus: You stole your car?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.
Sergeant DeJesus: But how do you steal your own car?
Defendant Sumner: It wasn't mine. . . it was cause I killed him.
Sergeant DeJesus: It was what?
Defendant Sumner: I killed Fatback.
Sergeant DeJesus: You killed Fatback?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.**
Sergeant DeJesus: And you stole his car?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.
Sergeant DeJesus: Who's Fatback?
Defendant Sumner: I don't know
Sergeant DeJesus: How did you kill Fatback?
Defendant Sumner: With a gun.
Sergeant DeJesus: Where's the gun?
Defendant Sumner: I don't know, in Red Lake somewhere.
Sergeant DeJesus testified that he did not believe Sumner when she stated that she had stolen a car, or when she said she killed Fatback. During the pat down, he can be heard in the bodycam footage saying "she's telling me that she killed a guy in Red Lake, stole his car, and drove to Duluth, which, I find unlikely, but she's tweaking pretty [] hard here."
Sergeant DeJesus testified that it was not until the following day, August 21, 2019, at approximately 5:00 a.m., that he learned from another patrol sergeant that a homicide had occurred and was being investigated in Red Lake.

this guy is running around with the president (also r-slurred, to be fair) and actually dictating policy to some extent. Does anyone here know how absolutely bat-shit insane Elon's poe lie attempt was?
Anyone that has ever played the game would have instantly realized he had no idea what he was doing, yet he still decided to stream himself playing.
the level of just pure r-sluration this requires is off the charts.

These are all upmarseyd and all aside from 1 pro-ban comment is downvored, idk what they're putting in the slop but it's turning the !goyslopenjoyers into !chuds
Are there even X links posted to this sub? I did a quick look and couldn't find any
No there are not, but it wont stop people from downmarseying you.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi
You're not doing anything by going around Reddit saying nazis are bad. I know it probably feels like you're in the streets punching Nazis whenever you post these comments but you're just being obnoxious and come off as a virtue signaling weirdo.

And of course, the mod's response:
Way ahead of you, we're just finding the best way to go about that

not sure why i agreed to meet at her house probably because her chats were very thirsty (of course that's the reason) she was very fit in the photos with absolutely massive hands like those of a mason i figured why not
the whole thing was fishy i felt like i was going to get stabbed and it didn't help when she pulled out a machete within five minutes of me being in the house (which was beautiful besides it being decorated like a sleazy gas station head shop)
it was downhill from there and i'd rather just seal all the sad details away in the vault i excused myself shortly after she pulled out an absolutely giant bag of ketamine and started saying we should do mushrooms
not proud to say i considered it her photos from a year ago were very cute

In response to the post that just went up demanding that we ban people from posting links from Twitter/X, and instead only allow Bluesky, we want the sub to understand that we will never restrict where people post their Panthers news from. This is antithesis to the purpose of this sub, a place to aggregate all the news we want to read about the Panthers organization. Heck, we don't even restrict posts that are sources from people like David Newton, and he's usually not a reliable source
Regardless of how you feel about what's going on outside of the Panthers fanbase, in relation to Twitter/X, this sub will always focus on exclusively Panthers media, news, and discussion. Every member here is free to post any links from Twitter, Insta, Bluesky, and any other source of news or discussion they see interest in
/r/panthers mods do the unbelievably rare action of letting the upmarsey and downmarsey system do it's job. They of course are getting heat for it (62% upmarseyd at the moment). Some
Honest answer? Virtue signalling
[–]judgeholden72 26 points 22 hours ago
Free market at work is now virtue signaling?
Not banning a website and letting people click on it if they want is the definition of free market lol. What kind of logic steps are you taking to get banning X is actually free market lol.
judgeholden72 -8 points 21 hours ago
Because users are asking for it to not be utilized.
That's the free market. Reddit isn't imposing a ban. Users are asking mods, who are not reddit, to not allow links that have it because those links are less useful
Went back 7 pages, /u/judgeholen72 doesn't appear to post in /r/panthers very frequently, possibly ever. Posts in the /r/nygiants sub every once in a while and a smattering of loser gen X subs. Still claims this is a grassroots every the "users" of the sub is asking for.
Some r-slur tries shit and the mod keeps going "yeah that's fine" and he responses "but what about?".
So, nsfw sites are okay to post from? .onion sites? Like, I feel like at some point Reddit would nsfw or quarantine the sub.
As long as the posts are directly Panthers news and discussion related (maybe as a crazy example, some porn star does a weekly discussion about the Panthers while topless) and as long as the post is properly tagged NSFW, then we should have no problems with Reddit
So, and I mean this with all sincerity, if I start just posting full Athletic articles through archive ph, then that's fine? ESPN+ articles?
People already do it. All we ask that you copy and paste the key parts of the content you're posting. So for example if you're posting a paywalled article that lists 5 free agents the Panthers should target, comment those 5 names within your post for people who aren't subscribed
I don't mean posting just the paywalled article. I mean something like:
That should be fine too. I've seen Archive posts on many subreddits and as far as I've seen Reddit has no rules against it
This guy gives up against the slight rebuttal, cries about how much he doesn't like X, and then says the mod is taking it too personally.
I've lost count of how many other sites that get posted here that are paywalled that most members have no issues with. The Athletic, NFL+/ESPN+ articles, and many other links posted are paywalled
Cmon bro you know it's hard to use, it's not about a paywall, it's about links that I don't want to click because I know it'll annoy me if it's part of a thread that I won't be able to read. With the others you mentioned people tend to post a copy of the article in the comments for non-members. It's a hallmark of the reddit community that makes this place fun to go to, and it doesn't really exist for tweets. Put it to an official vote or something, it's weird how personal you're taking this.
Put up a poll in a thread with a bunch of flairless posters are commenting.
Put up a poll and see what the user base thinks
I don't think we need to, no sub rules or reddit rules are being violated, it's just a matter of preference and opinion.
This would fall under the often lamented umbrella of "over moderation".
Which ironically people call us Nazi mods for lol can't win for losing
Is there any way we could do an actual poll? It seems to be a widely supported move because of… well the nazi salute stuff.
I get wanting to protect peoples ability to post news, but can we really not vote to avoid supporting a nazi?
I'm going to start posting Panthers news in 4chan and start linking to it here.
It's patently ridiculous to say any source is okay.
And this is a community and if that's what the community wants then the mods should feel obliged to comply.
You're (likely) not a credible source, while a panthers beat writer who uses Twitter is
🫡 it's been fun while it lasted, i seem to be in the minority here and that's okay, but that man can not be supported in any way
Then don't read it lol. Why does everyone think you can tell other people what to do.
Not telling you to do anything man. I wanted my opinion to have some representation on this post.
I'm not telling you to do anything, I'm just wanting you to not be able to do things I don't like.
