I feel like I've seen this movie.

I don’t know if their cockamamie theory about slowing global warming has any merit, but this is a flashy way to open the door to bring back all the species we have wiped out.

“If” doing a lot of work here

kiku-d-mama.bsky.social•53 days ago

if we bring something back and it goes extinct again that would be really sad

softblossom.bsky.social•53 days ago

We’re gonna need a new Ice Age..

softblossom.bsky.social•53 days ago

Waiting..

regulargoblin.bsky.social•53 days ago

Didn't they try this before? I feel like someone is attempting this grift every few years. Do not get me wrong, I want it to work, but doubt it will.

codemonkey23.bsky.social•53 days ago

If is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Where will they walk with the arctic melted? It would be really nice if money could be invested in saving the world we have for a change.

kurtrexcooper.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just as long as they don’t bring back the passenger pigeon. Imagine flocks of a billion birds regularly flying over your city leaving tons and tons of bird droppings in their wake.

WHY???

Wild thought - maybe we should care about nature and wildlife right now that we are actively destroying before reintroducing ancient ones. Also interfering with natures balance is dangerous, most animals are extinct for a reason. Hoomans *sigh

silkythick.bsky.social•53 days ago

There's no way they'd ever be allowed to release them into the wild, but if I know humans they'll accidentally do it anyway and pretend there was nothing they could have done to prevent it

coco-oona.bsky.social•53 days ago

Or totally accidently impregnate a wild elephant, because "for science!"

hippodameia8527.bsky.social•53 days ago

I want one of the Pygmy mammoths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_mammoth

Have you heard of my own startup? Kaiju Biotech? Yeah...

ecodonata.bsky.social•53 days ago

I read somewhere that our currently technology doesn’t allow us to clone birds. Which is a pity.

cptnquint.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yes and also bring back the thylacine.

danlansdowne.bsky.social•53 days ago

And passenger pigeons.

baxter74656.bsky.social•53 days ago

I’ve seen that documentary, Jurassic Park. This seems like a recipe for disruption

misskkitty.bsky.social•53 days ago

Has nobody seen Jurassic Park? This kind of thing always leads to trouble.

wait--what.bsky.social•53 days ago

wondering if dodo roasts up like turkey.

ratherodd.bsky.social•53 days ago

Kinda rude to bring back an ice age animal as we warm the planet to never before seen levels.

authorityfig.bsky.social•53 days ago

The globe is warming, not cooling. 🤔

fubarspeaks.bsky.social•53 days ago

I would like a stampede of 10000 to be deposited at a certain location in DC on Monday, please

bcbarber.bsky.social•53 days ago

I think we miss the point of jurassic park

plastikbuddha.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm pretty sure dodos would make great pets. Make this the priority. We aren't even deserving of te elephants we already have. I don't think we're ready to bring these majestic creatures back and have no better place for them zoos.

nuitsdeyoung.bsky.social•53 days ago

They're big pigeons. Pigeons are brilliant in all sizes.

kimmybeetoo.bsky.social•53 days ago

People. Did the fate of John Hammond teach us nothing??

ericstrijbos.bsky.social•53 days ago

The biotope in which they lived and where they got their food from – lots of food – doesn't exist anymore, so why bother. I'm okay with the dodo though.
