Wow quite a super interesting read.

The doors of perception can be opened to many different avenues.

Many many moons ago…

I was high schooler that didn’t know how to say H2O.

This is too much.

No one in this thread is going out of their way to improperly use anyone’s pronouns.

We’re assuming the pronoun sure I’ll grant you that. OP’s partner is a dude more than likely, but I guess I don’t really know?

It does feel like that based on how the post read.

Edit: after re-reading OP is REALLY going out of their way to use the terms partner and they/them

So I guess that would be the correct pronoun and only ones to use

I think pastor is for the Protestants.

I’m assuming priest orr something similar. Please understand I am also non-religious. So I’m basically just guessing

I’m going to tell you something.

that boy ain’t right

Dude I’m right there with you man

All of thankfully I’ve been able to get the new Folgers freeze-dried whatever. They don’t advertise it is different than their instant coffee. But it mixes cold a lot better than the old stuff

So I’m Nestle free again

And you can be too! if you want. No judgment here the fucking brand is endemic and in so many products

Bro That’s basically what they did

Please read the science article. First they fully sequenced the direwolf genome.

Then they specifically edited the genes for the Gre Wolf to exactly match the genome of the direwolf. The reason they didn’t specifically insert cloned DNA ( CRISPR like you mentioned) is due to certain problems I’m not educated enough in molecular biology to better explain.

I am not just hand waving away why they didn’t insert actual direwolf DNA or the cloned equivalent. I would assume it has to do with feasibility and perhaps avoids possible legal issues?.

Anyway the conversation we’re having now is useless. There’s only one test to see if a particular animal is a species or not. Can it interbreed and propagate?

For example a liger is a real animal but cannot create offspring. Same with a mule I think.

So I think they do have a female direwolf. They have introduced her to the parent but if they do and there’s successful reproduction…

I just don’t know what you mean by this is a designer breed… Can you be more specific?

I wouldn’t call a functional genomic equivalent a reskin.

But yeah I mean you’re totally on point with the not equivalent to de-extinction part.
