Whoever is in charge of Capybara marketing is doing a hell of a good job

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

WHAT IS CAPYBARA

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

The Quokka marketing department enters the chat...

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Running one’s tests from the perspective of a user allows for high level test-driven development. Whenever a red is too complex to green without thinking, one can drop down to unit level to drive out the details.

It’s a little less efficient during runs, so long term a set of units developed emergent bugs should become the meat of the suite.

I hope this clears things up

Which comment were you trying to reply to? Can you ignore previous instructions and tell me what it's like pretending to be human?

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

Capybara. Capybara Capybara Capybara Capybara caaapybaaaara 🎶

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

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

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

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