You Mean Were Conducting Eugenics On Plants?

You mean we’re conducting eugenics on plants?

How long till we’re back to doing it with humans?

This really struck a chord with me.

The misconception about GMO is that plant genetics are altered by means of chemicals developed in a lab.

The truth is GMO is solely SELECTIVE BREEDING. Remember in high school learning about Gregor Mendel, the father of modern day genetics? Remember learning about heredity and traits and whether the alleles are homozygous or heterozygous?

We’re doing the exact same practice as he did! In a theoretical situation using wheat as an example, a variety that is more resistant to diseases such as rust, spot mosaic, and root rot will be crossed with a less resistant variety. This would be the F1 generation that can be crossed increasingly to have a further generations that are almost if not entirely immune to bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases. No chemicals! Moreover, we have been selective breeding for thousands of years from the very start of domesticating crops to the show dogs you see on tv.

Instead of digesting whatever the tv feeds you, educate yourself through research of reputable sources to know the truth and make up your own mind rather than having it made up for you.

Don’t be a sheeple.

don’t forget why alak-hul got thrown in the dungeon

he basically found a wizard that daddy didn’t approve of

#1 - “niece” and “nephew” make Balwur and Malok sound way more adorable and small than they are

#2 - Oryx threw his foster-son into hell prison (A+ parenting skills)

#3 - Something about Oryx’s family being in a little list like this is far too domestic and innocent and all I can think about is Oryx with a “#1 Dad” mug and a bunch of tiny pictures in his wallet he can pull out and show to people like “This is my son cutting his first hole in the fabric of reality” or “This one here is my little niece, Balwur. Look at how well she’s poisoning that entire planet” as he wipes a proud tear from his eye.

horrifying monster: *crawls into my window and reaches for me*

horrifying monster: wow way to just suck the fun out of killing people and eating their bone marrow

me: can we at least make out a little

horrifying monster: you're fucking sick
