similar DNA is bad actually, the whole point of sexual reproduction is to increase diversity to make the population as robust as possible. If you have a ship full of clones all it takes is one virus/bacteria/fungus mutating in just the wrong way and everyone will get infected.
Like, this is why we got a new type of banana some decades ago, it’s all giant monocultures which is hilariously vulnerable to disease.
i don’t think it’s that fucked up to have everyone with a womb be a surrogate mother, you’d just have to select people who are okay with it. There’s nothing wrong with being a surrogate, it’s basically just adoption except you get to give birth to the child.
just bringing a ton of frozen sperm and eggs is honestly the real answer i feel, why worry about bringing a bunch of living people who need resources and stuff, when you can just bring a quarter of earth’s diversity with you in the freezers?
The two downsides to this is that people can’t really have kids with each other, and if the freezers malfunction you’re a bit in the shit.
also like, you still need a fucking computer, you’re not going to cram any sort of reasonable processing onto a fucking lens.
it’d legitimately be less useful than smart glasses
“100% US” will never cease being funny to me, the US is a fucking continent! Imagine if we in europe had “100% european milk!”, only place you wouldn’t see that seal is like, greece and bulgaria because they might import turkish milk…
these fish plushies are unironically the ideal cat toy: they’re the perfect size for the cat to latch onto and bunny kick to their heart’s content, there’s nothing on them that would harm the cat, and i bet they absolutely soak up scents like a sponge (which cats love).
the thing about this is that those places have already doomed themselves to getting fucked, it’s just a question of when. Might as well pray it comes early so it’s less of a fall.
have you looked at simplex? at a glance it seems robust and it actually works without much fiddling which is nice.
“HUMAN, BRING ME THE SECOND BRAIN CELL”
and this is why i’ll never be able to work more than 50%
cats have 2 modes:
i don’t know you and if you don’t go away now i’m going to slaughter you
hello friend please rub my belly i love you i love you i love you purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
if you look closer you’ll note that it’s very much related to whether a company is publicly trader or not, as soon as people are trading stocks you end up with a bunch of people who don’t actually care about the company and those involved in it, they only care about making money.
a company that isn’t having stocks traded around is able to focus on things other than growth, such as making sustainable revenue or being a public good (or a personal good, like a small café that barely makes any profit and just exists because the owners want to run a café).
i don’t get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that’s… kind of the whole point of rss…
because capitalism
huh? any serious marketplace has cheap or free basic insurance for purchases.
i keep my favourite music on my phone and use newpipe for everything else, absolutely fucking baffles me that most people keep paying for streaming services
i for one actually don’t think it’s AI, i think it might just be a bag of cat toys with a handkercheif on it. The cats and the bed look much too sensible to be AI imo.
if you want more sourness maybe try adding some powdered citric acid or malic acid, whatever you can find at a grocery store. It’ll be in the spice aisle.
i don’t think it would even be that much of a concern, really. Not only can one person have multiple children (so you can do one surrogate and one genetically yours), but there are plenty of people who’d just be happy they get to give birth to their child and couldn’t care less about genes.
