was trying to find their max speed, and found this on plebbit: >Chocobos trot at 49.3 mph, which is about the max speed of a lion. >Chocobos sprint at 60.3 mph, which is about the speed of a Pronghorn antelope. It’s also only 9.7 mph slower than a cheetah.
id rather have one than a car for sure. they could also pull carriages. i dont want to clean up their droppings though :/
can the ones that fly pull freight through the air? what about by sea?
personal transportation is all well and good, but replacing shipping is the real goal
>replacing shipping is the real goal
you right, you right >can the ones that fly pull freight through the air?
highly doubt it. invest in airships? they probably still need conventional fuel to make the propellers work though, and are way slower? Not sure. >what about by sea?
tell japan to be nice to whales and have caravans of them tug around our container ships? theyd probly tell us to fuck off though, and it would take like 6 months to cross the atlantic lol
What can a mammoth actually do though? If you hug its hind legs it can't reach you with its truck, and its too sluggish to get away while you repeatedly pommel it from behind. If you stand to the side of its hind legs then it won't even be able to hit you with a back kick. If it raises its leg to perform a stomp then all you have to do is back off until it finishes its slam, then move back in to continue punching.
I'm not at all familiar with this field but there is no way that would be a problem right? >Through gene editing, Colossal scientists will eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. They will place the embryo in an African elephant to take advantage of its size and allow it to give birth to the new woolly mammoth.
It would inherit much of its immune system from its mother.
why is it when people talk about bringing back extinct animals do they forget it has been done before
the pyrenean ibex was brought back for 7 minutes, the clone sadly died
Any specie in the Homo genus should be considered human. Neanderthals especially should have human-like intelligence, so this shouldn't be problematic.
(And supraorbital tori are cute.)
Cloning neantherthals and learning from the process would be a useful step towards creating a new advanced species of human without all the gay diseases and birth defects.
Neanderthal noses are wide, not long. Her deformities are not related to Neanderthal DNA, but rather hundreds of generations of consanguineous marriage since then.
its banned wherever christcucks have influence. you can blame the catholicuck church for bitching about "playing god" (how to play god: vanish, and neve rreturn).
but china is very much first world, very much atheist, has no ban, and we has such a numbers advantage that they inevitably have a lot of genius level scientists. while the west is held back by a vatican who is hiding proof that they made their religion up (are you allowed in their archives? no) china will be using human genetic engineering to create space marines and raising the average IQ to 200.
imagine taking michael crichton seriously he was a really smart guy but he was also a nutter and just wrote stuff like that for fun. I don't think he'd be alarmist about this stuff and he pretty much hated the academic science circlejerk before you pseuds.
Dinosaurs died out sixty-five million years ago, mammoths survived up until as recently as 4,500 years ago. It'd be more in line with Ian Malcolm's line about cloning a species wiped out by human actions than nature. Also, unlike T.rex and Velociraptor it wouldn't be that much different from the elephants we already have today.
They want to resurrect the mammoth so the can get enough public support to depopulate rural areas, turn them into national parks, and force us all to live in cities.
Mammoths were the lords of the ice age. When they died, the ice retreated, and the era of hot as balls began. We need to bring them back to learn the secrets of winter cold once more.
I thought they died in the transitional period at the end of the ice age along with nearly European man. The thaw creating perpetually overcast skies that killed the vegetation that killed the mammoth that nearly killed us.
The logic is easy to see: >retard Science™ lovers want mammoths >same demographic is convinced we're six months from a switch flipping and the world all instantly dying >"let's sell them both at once!"
>Let's revive Mammoths, it would be ebin >Sorry Chud, ebin science doesn't get funded anymore >Did I mention it combats climate change somehow? >HERE'S A BAJILLION DOLLARINOS!!
If you get a bunch of mammoths roaming around Russia and Canada they’ll end up returning the boreal forest to open tundra (ideally) which would increase carbon sequestration. Combined with the idea that the mammoths walking smashes the snow down so it isn’t as good of an insulator during winter and thus allowing the permafrost to stay colder longer.
>Combined with the idea that the mammoths walking smashes the snow down so it isn’t as good of an insulator during winter and thus allowing the permafrost to stay colder longer.
This last part doesn't make sense to me. If the snow is smashed and becomes a worse insulator wouldn't heat spread faster and thus the permafrost recede faster?
Nope! That’s the counter intuitive part. Snow after a point keeps the ground warmer in winter than it would be otherwise because it helps the soil hold ambient heat from the summer. Compacting it with animal feet removed air pockets and eliminates much of its potential for insulation.
arent they trying to do that for at last 20years?
every time the same clickbait BS >hurr durr dude just imagine having a mammoth steak!
i can remember that we joked about that on the school yards ages ago
Its exactly that, private donors give money because its cool not knowing the researchers are certain it won't work any time soon. The good thing is its at least is a way to funnel money into genetics research which will be helpful with preserving endangered animals.
they should clone chocobos first
This is the true cure to the automobile disease.

Are we sure mammoths didn't die for a reason? Like maybe the fact that we no longer live in the Pleistocene?
What can a mammoth actually do though? If you hug its hind legs it can't reach you with its truck, and its too sluggish to get away while you repeatedly pommel it from behind. If you stand to the side of its hind legs then it won't even be able to hit you with a back kick.

Why do you think they went extinct in the first place?
>reincarnating something from the past that did not quite know the viruses and diseases of today
Is it reeeeally a good idea? It might be best to leave the past in the past.
I'm not at all familiar with this field but there is no way that would be a problem right?
>Through gene editing, Colossal scientists will eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. They will place the embryo in an African elephant to take advantage of its size and allow it to give birth to the new woolly mammoth.

I'm incredibly confused why they would chose an African elephant as the mother, Asian elephants are much closer related to mammoths.
Mammoth patch is getting re added as DLC?
Heard about it for years but maybe the devs will actually deliver this time
Why is cloning so hard, Jurassic Park was 30 years ago
cloning is not hard, but it's expensive, there's literally business that do cloning all the time, problem is most countries still don't allow it.
this pic upsets me greatly, who would clone their dog and bastardize its memory
same
God creates the Dodo, man kills the Dodo, man brings back the Dodo, the Dodo kills the man.
i wanna know what dodo doodoo smells like
like a chocobo
he doesn't smell because he doesn't have a nose
i wish someone would de-extinct my sex life 🙁
anon, scientists can only de-extinct things that actually existed, it's like saying you want scientists to de-extinct fairies and unicorns.
joke's on you because your fairy dad watched me bang ur mum with my fully erect unicorn
yup
I miss this bro like you wouldn't believe, I hope they bring him back but I know it's probably impossible.
it's literally just a fatass pigeon
it's not the same, it's like saying if I want a zebra just paint a horse
they are LITERALLY descended from pigeons that flew to the island
and zebras and horses LITERALLY descended from the same animal and yet they are NOT the same.
Zebra's are quite literally glorified donkeys.
make a pidgeon/chicken breed that looks like it
i want a jumper made out of woolly mammoth wool
why is it when people talk about bringing back extinct animals do they forget it has been done before
the pyrenean ibex was brought back for 7 minutes, the clone sadly died
nice
No one's ever really gone.
Boring.
Do neanderthal instead.
that would be unethical
They would understand language.
Too much competition for blacks people at the bottom of the totem pole
>clone neanderthal
>scores higher than nogs
Imagine the outrage.
I wonder if we'd be allowed to fuck neanderthals or if that counts as zoophilia
Any specie in the Homo genus should be considered human. Neanderthals especially should have human-like intelligence, so this shouldn't be problematic.
(And supraorbital tori are cute.)
>Neanderthals especially should have human-like intelligence
They actually have bigger brains than us
Sure, and their brains are a little different from ours as well but comparing them would be more interesting than hierarchizing them.
Cloning neantherthals and learning from the process would be a useful step towards creating a new advanced species of human without all the gay diseases and birth defects.
Well, so does an elephant.
>think neanders look like that.
Pic related is probably only like 5% neander.
Neanderthal noses are wide, not long. Her deformities are not related to Neanderthal DNA, but rather hundreds of generations of consanguineous marriage since then.
Neander nasal bones point forward instead of down like in humans. This would give them a big hook nose.
Also it's well known garden gnomes have the most neander dna.
most places legally cant, depending on if the neanderthal is considered human or not. Human cloning is banned in most of the first world now
its banned wherever christcucks have influence. you can blame the catholicuck church for bitching about "playing god" (how to play god: vanish, and neve rreturn).
but china is very much first world, very much atheist, has no ban, and we has such a numbers advantage that they inevitably have a lot of genius level scientists. while the west is held back by a vatican who is hiding proof that they made their religion up (are you allowed in their archives? no) china will be using human genetic engineering to create space marines and raising the average IQ to 200.
As much as I hate eugenism and transhumanism, I think I'm getting resigned.
>in 4 years
huh, it's the same time OP's daddy is coming back.
In Minecraft
i cant wait to eat them
This is a bad fucking idea.
Imagine watching/reading Jurassic Park and taking the literal polar opposite message to what it was conveying.
imagine taking michael crichton seriously he was a really smart guy but he was also a nutter and just wrote stuff like that for fun. I don't think he'd be alarmist about this stuff and he pretty much hated the academic science circlejerk before you pseuds.
>you shouldn't do a thing you want to do because some guy wrote a book about how he doesn't like the idea of it
okay
If Jurassic park actually happened IRL it would be nearly as dangerous as it's made out to be. You made more animals, that's it
The book's "science grounding" and theme was more about chaos theory. The bioDNA stuff was for the thriller part.
Dinosaurs died out sixty-five million years ago, mammoths survived up until as recently as 4,500 years ago. It'd be more in line with Ian Malcolm's line about cloning a species wiped out by human actions than nature. Also, unlike T.rex and Velociraptor it wouldn't be that much different from the elephants we already have today.
I’m gonna hunt and kill the very first mammoth they clone
Like my ancestors did
It’s so we can eat them, isn’t it?…
Uhhhh, Anon...
*So the chinese can eat them
ftfy
They want to resurrect the mammoth so the can get enough public support to depopulate rural areas, turn them into national parks, and force us all to live in cities.
I would 100% chase you out your generational family home so a mammoth could shit there and I will not pretend otherwise for a second
To what end, captive breeding program in zoos?
Meatballs.
On their site they said that reviving the mammoth would help fight climate change. Dunno what their logic behind that is.
Mammoths were the lords of the ice age. When they died, the ice retreated, and the era of hot as balls began. We need to bring them back to learn the secrets of winter cold once more.
I thought they died in the transitional period at the end of the ice age along with nearly European man. The thaw creating perpetually overcast skies that killed the vegetation that killed the mammoth that nearly killed us.
Something about restoring mammoth steppe and permafrost
The logic is easy to see:
>retard Science™ lovers want mammoths
>same demographic is convinced we're six months from a switch flipping and the world all instantly dying
>"let's sell them both at once!"
leftists hate this because its a waste of money you could use to feed morons
Chill anon, you don't need to sell it to me, I already bought it.
Simple, you release a bunch of angry Mammoths in densely populated areas, and the resulting decline in human population lessens climate change
>Let's revive Mammoths, it would be ebin
>Sorry Chud, ebin science doesn't get funded anymore
>Did I mention it combats climate change somehow?

Cool, thanks for the clarification
I hate to break it to you but this is a startup scam stealing money from retarded investors and they will not clone a woolly mammoth.
meat for the super rich
We have a lot of questions to ask.
Cool. I hope they cultivate and sell their meat so I can feel like my ancestors from 10,000 years ago.
>4 more years
arent they trying to do that for at last 20years?
every time the same clickbait BS
>hurr durr dude just imagine having a mammoth steak!
i can remember that we joked about that on the school yards ages ago
>just imagine having a mammoth steak!
I cannot imagine a world where they succesfully clone an animal and then start producing them as a food animal
Ive been hearing about this shit for like 12 years, isnt all some science scam run by a guy who just gestures at jurassic park and demands money?
Its exactly that, private donors give money because its cool not knowing the researchers are certain it won't work any time soon. The good thing is its at least is a way to funnel money into genetics research which will be helpful with preserving endangered animals.
