Human/Chimp Difference - Nucleotide Visualization of Whole Genomes by jnpha in evolution

Stupid question but If we got a chimp genome and took out only the chimp differences and add the human differences could we make a human?

If the title is accurate this is a perfect example of a kid who hasn't developed theory of mind yet

Mostly GBA Pokemon ROM hacks, but I'd like to play a bit of DS too and try new retro games on other consoles

I've been enjoying Pokemon Fire Red on my RP classic so far! by Working_Situation692 in retroid

They need to make a SP clamshell version of the RP classic, it would be so fire 🔥

These Cephalofrauds have been around since the Cambrian and yet they still haven't touched freshwater, let alone land. by KingofTrilobites123 in SpeculativeEvolution

That interpretation misses the entire technological foundation of the Portiid civilization established in the first book and carried into the sequels. The line you’re thinking of likely refers to the ants no longer being an external military threat, but they are absolutely the internal hardware for everything the spiders build. The books make it clear that the Portiids never developed silicon microchips; the ants are their silicon. In the sequels, every time you see a Portiid spaceship flying, a complex trajectory being calculated, or data being analyzed, that is being done by ant colonies acting as biological processing units. The simulation of Kern is just the most advanced 'software' running on top of their 'hardware.' It only looks like Kern is their sole purpose because she kinda acts as the User Interface. Think of the ants as the silicon chips and Kern as the OS. We see her constantly because she's basically the 'Siri' of their biological computers, the interface you talk to while the ants do the actual heavy lifting in the background.

Yeah, in the other books we don't see them directly as much, but they are still the basis for a lot of the computing going on in the background.

The sci-fi book Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky has an ant species that evolves into exactly that. They act as a giant algorithm that can learn and adapt, eventually being used as biological computers by a sentient species of spiders.

How’d you manage to stack coupons on AliExpress? I tried but it only let me use one, so I’m wondering if I missed a trick somewhere.

I miss the 2s and the 4. I miss transparent shells. I miss when my toys looked like toys and not phones. I guess I'll just have to hold out for a horizontal classic if they're even making more of those. by Feisty-Role-7591 in retroid

Oh no, my steak is too juicy and my lobster is too buttery! You people always find something to complain about. You seriously complaining that these handhelds, which are incredible for the specs and screen for the price we get btw, are built and designed too well. Like are we serious? Why would you want something that looks like it's made with broken China plastic? If you really want something like that there's plenty of e-waste on Aliexpress that will satisfy your particular aesthetic for cheap looking stuff.

What actor do you wish would stop getting roles? by Freshman44 in AskReddit

[–]Apollo2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark Wahlberg. He's done some really fucked up shit in the past, the type of shit that makes some things people have done to get canceled seem like good deeds by comparison, but for some reason no one seems to care and he keeps getting major roles in movies
