A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In this day and age I’m always amazed and heartened to hear that there is enough wildlife left to be such a problem like this.
Antelope, to become the national animal of Ukraine?
Is that a million antelopes, or a single 1 metre long, very strong amtelope?
Meanwhile in Afghanistan...
You mean Antelopes can jump that high?
Advanced technology upgrade!
Were the antelopes wearing Ukraine flags?
Climate change is changing the migration patterns of wildlife
With how things are going, Putin’s likely not going to see the end of his war.
Imagine this being one of your closing memories to a war you said would be done in 3 weeks.
Every war ever fought was supposed to end within a week.
three days, he said he'd take Kyiv in 72 hours.
And once again I find myself not knowing anything about Russia's ecosystems. As the largest country on earth it should have an astonishing variety of nature, similar to the US.
But TV and cinema have taught me that Russia is grey everywhere with some grass and small frail trees scattered about and sometimes coniferous forests and snow.
Yeah, it's a grey shithole, where everybody outside of Moscow and St Pete's have to squat over a hole in the ground, drink anti-freeze vodka and self immolate because they won't stop fucking smoking everywhere. Save your digestive system some trouble by just flushing the disgusting slop they call food. Russian women hate it there because every male is an alcoholic, unemployable, wife beating defective, and they all want to marry WESTERN MEN. It's a cultural desert and has produced maybe half a dozen musician/artists and writers of any note, in all the centuries of muscovite existence. Russia is the reason aliens won't visit us. And Pootin the Tiny wants to export this to the rest of the world......
I predict that these antelopes will be disappointed by their visit and will not recommend ruzzia as a destination to all their friends.

Russia is at a much higher latitude, which limits things. It's mostly taiga and tundra, with the Great Steppe in the south. No deserts like the American Midwest or rain forests like the Pacific Northwest.
It's peppered into the Planet earth series and I believe Our Planet as well. The Taiga in Russia is a massive and beautiful, untouched ecosystem.
Russia by and large doesn't give a shit about its nature as long as it's huge and can be exploited so it's not like they're producing many documentaries etc. about it.
This is a cool project, though: Re-creating megafauna habitat, turning tundra into steppe. And in true Russian fashion, in lieu of living mammoths running over trees they used a tank.
Saiga Antelope look weird as hell:
Why not antelope Zoidberg?
That looks like the creation from a lazy star wars artist
Mean! I was just coming to comment how cute they are 😍
They look like a clay model of a cow except you dropped it on its nose.
Awww, what a sweet baby. Thanks for sharing.
Whatever floats your boat.
The double-barreled goatalope
Sawed-off can't elope.
the nose allows them to filter out sand and dust in the deserts.
Perfect for the Siberian desert
Surely antelopes roam in herds, not swarms? They're not bees.
I think a swarm of antelopes sounds incredibly terrifying:
Just a mass hooves, fur, and antlers; can't tell where one ends and the next begins; roaming across the land, leaving only destruction in its wake...
pffft...it's only a million.
the rumbling kicks in
This whole thread is just so Lemmy it makes me laugh.
Dear Russia,
You're fucked.
Sincerely,
Australia.
Just in case they're not, send them some emus.
At first I thought this was a 1 meter Ukrainian drone codenamed 'antelope' that was targeting crops.
Yeah, no, this one is mother nature throwing a curve ball at putin to tell him that russia is already hard to manage as is, without trying to invade neighbours and fucking with other countries.
This is not an invasion, they are eliminating the Nazi crops that have oppressed Russian-speaking people for far too long
Special antelope operation
Oh, the year was 1778
Deer Russia,
