Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Hot take: good. Pandas are an example of a creature who would go extinct if left to its own devices and frankly are a lot of man hours to keep it safe from its own instincts.
Nope. The reason they are endangered is the same reason for so many, many animals: Habitat destruction.
They managed to survive as a species for millions of years. Until human came along and fucked up where they live.
If they and their habitat had been left to its own devices, they would be fine.
You realise that is an admission of a shit argument?
Hot Take:
In journalism, a hot take is a "piece of deliberately provocative commentary that is based almost entirely on shallow moralizing" in response to a news story, "usually written on tight deadlines with little research or reporting, and even less thought"
There are ways to disagree without being a jerk about it.
Sorry if you think this is being a jerk. I felt I replied in the same tone as the initial comment.
Starting with Hot take is announcing you are being intentionally inflammatory.
Serious question: What part did you object to?
Was it the use of phrase shit argument?
Or was it the last paragraph, which is a direct quote from wikkipedia?
I mean, the hot take was a pretty mean-spirited one if it can be reasonably argued against like Pons did. Basically shifting the blame for panda's extinction entirely onto them.
No, Pandas are endangered entirely because of the actions of China and the CCP.
If their bamboo forests had been left intact, they would be thriving.
Better to let animals go extinct than keep them alive suffering in cages
