to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures” on the Earth.

Like dog breeds, hybrid vegetables, racehorses, or any other myriad of plants and animals that we selectively alter the traits of?

Oh. He wants to hunt to the sheep. He wants to create them, let them loose, and then hunt them.

I was imagining the sheep would be his hunting companion, like he's a modern day Paul Bunyan with a giant sheep instead of an ox.

Well now I’m thinking of Babe the Blue Ox as being a mighty hunter.
Maybe they call him the blue ox because he crushes his victims to death (starving them of oxygen!), leaving them blue?!

Oh sure, when some guy in a lab coat does it they get the Nobel prize. I try to combine a bear and a pig, and all of a sudden someone wants to make a Federal case out of it

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The bear-pig part merely raised eyebrows. Manbearpig is what got the feds involved.

Thanks, I just sprayed coffee all over my desk 😂 😂 😂

“I will have to work the rest of my life to repair everything I’ve done,” Schubarth told the judge just before sentencing.

You're 81. The rest of your life is not very long.

He's creating hybrid version of himself, duh!

[–] variants@possumpat.io 2 points 1 month ago

That's why he has a full automatic ready to take those hybrids out the game

I have more questions than answers why testicle tissue? Was it an actual clone? Or just using sperm in the testicles? If a clone how?

While I knew cloning was possible, the fact that a random group was able to pull it off, is frankly scary as shit ..

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Oh man if you find that thought scary, check out Thought Emporium on YouTube. He's doing gene editing on bacteria in his garage.

Apparently his generic engineered cure for lactose intolerance (tested on himself) only lasted for a few months, but it did work.

Sperm are stem cells, aren't they? Maybe that's why?

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 9 points 1 month ago

Sperm are stem cells

You're close. Sperm aren't stem cells, but the stem cells that differentiate into sperm are found in the testes.
