Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

It's really bizarre that the first wolf attack in over 100 years in Germany happened in an IKEA in the middle of Hamburg.
Wouldn't call it an attack, though, that person got way into the personal space of that wolf. If you get too close, and they can't escape, they will bite you. That's what the teeth are for.
The woman approached a wild animal that was in a visibly confused state.
Doesn't matter the species or size: Don't do that unless you know exactly what you are doing or can deal with being attacked. She did neither.
Of course idiots are going to use this as excuse for their "wolf bad" nonsense.
Edit: Oh and have fun with the vaccine against rabies that's administered preemptively in such cases. Side effects can be brutal but better than dying with 100% certainty.
She thought it was a dog.
And apparently she was only pushed and scratched.
She's fine, the wolf is fine, I couldn't find anyone blaming the wolf. I think we couldn't hope for a better way for this story to end.
Lucky she's in germany, in the US emergency rooms don't give it out, it's expensive too. The health department might pay for it, but maybe not. They would probably means test you first.
Almost 100%, there's several people that have survived. One without vaccine one with partial. It's like 99.99 but still not fun. And very dangerous.
Antivaxers: so you're telling me there's a chance...
I mean yeah, it's not like I'd endorse chasing down dogs that are acting funny.
AFAIK, they only technically survived. None of them fully recovered.
Wolf hunting season is scheduled to run from 1 July to 31 October.
I wish complete failure and intense suffering on every single human that hunts wolves.
If there are too many wolves their numbers need to be controlled or they can cause issues by killing too much of their prey. But who knows how the hunting season works in germany.
Poor wolf just wanted to eat a Hamburger. No reason to call the cops on him.

I'm sure its original intent were KΓΆttbullar.
He said the wolf was in safety and being given veterinary care.
Phew.
They're still not sure what to do with him. Right now, he's apparently in a wildlife rescue centre in Lower Saxony but euthanasia is still on the table.
