The world has been giving them nothing but praise for like 5-6 years now, I think that's all.

Imagine a rodent with duck feet. It's between the height of your navel to your sternum - about 300lb. The hair is very coarse. It has a stubby tail. It eats like a goat but acts like a happy cow - they enjoy pets but would run away before acting aggressive

Just look at this beautiful creature.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Capybaras are clearly doing something right that we aren’t.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 months ago

They are very swell.

[-] syreus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Uncle Ben is that you?

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Very deveur

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 45 points 2 months ago

I just find this funny as hell

The Quokka marketing department enters the chat...

[-] argarath@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They're just so happy to be there that they forget to do their marketing pitch

That's how they stay alive in that place. Literally anything that wants to kill them just stops and goes "awwwwww"

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 40 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I can't get enough of them. I literally have my colonists buy it all when capybara meat is in stock.

+1 for correct market timing. -2 for annoying vegans. +1 for supporting the mobile infantry.

The key is to just be cool and not a dick. They are the Keanu Reeves of animals. Keanu Reeves is the capybara of people.

[-] Khrux@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 months ago

This gave me flashbacks to being on Reddit with the cult of Keanu Reeves. I respect the man but if he's shown too much love puts him in a situation where anything he does will be scrutinised.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He knows. He hover hands every woman he puts his arm around in a picture.

[-] Senal@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

/r/onetruegod would like to know if you have some time to discuss ..well...the aforementioned one true god

Is this Capybara Kobama?

[-] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Now I know who is behind it all

[-] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

Okay I'm clearly out of the loop. What's happening with capybaras? Is this something I have to sort by All to understand?

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

Me too. I get squirrels and bunnies in my feed, but no capybaras.

[-] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Right? Feel like I'm missing out.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Capybara. Capybara Capybara Capybara Capybara caaapybaaaara 🎶

[-] TheWeirdestCunt@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

They always seem so chill in photos but I've worked with them and they're one of the most skittish animals I've dealt with, the tapir they lived with was always wanting scratches though

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Sharing a habitat with jaguars, pumas, and humans would make me skittish too.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 8 points 2 months ago

Theres a pair at the zoo. So fucking cute, for a rodent of unusual size. (The zoo sign actually says that)

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The only capitalism I'll accept

I'm waiting for the tourists attacked by capybaras headline..... Anyway now. ..

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

I had to block that community to get them out of my feed

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Invasive species :)

[-] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I just dmed you 20 Copybaras. Their will is senior to ours and they will not be denied.

[-] Bach37strad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ikr, they're delicious

[-] smock9@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago
[-] BarrierWithAshes@fedia.io -3 points 2 months ago

Most overrated rodents. Where's all the love for nutrias at? (excluding the place where they're invasive)

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure they're invasive where I live but even if they weren't, I'm still deeply repulsed by them.
