Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Do you even realize how much effort would be needed to make a race of sex-crazed anthros IRL? If it was easy, it would have been done already.

Genetic engineering is still in its infancy.

Mate demand with time, and one tends to get supply.

EDIT: In the news, a couple months ago:

Dallas-based biotech company Colossal has announced the birth of three pups bearing the DNA signatures of dire wolves, an iconic predator last seen roaming North America over 10,000 years ago.

But in the end, it’s not about whether we can bring back the dead. It’s about what we do with the power to remake the living.
