been researching genetics and noticed humans and chimps are much nearer chromosomewise than many species that successfully breed hybrids so, even tho ive always heard humans cant hybrid with any nonhumans, i looked in to it and found this interesting thing.

      It might create a sterile hybrid, similar to a mule. Whatever the case, explaining the result of this to another being that could understand and explaining the innate cruelty in their creation is significantly beyond me.

      Would you believe that the Chinese often over sell their scientific achievements? Well, for every 100 legitimate Chinese scientists, you’ll have a batshit insane or bold face liar “scientists” that makes the headlines. I had to debunk an “invisibility cloak” that fooled my friends a few years ago.
