“Hey, we don’t know how this works, so let’s tinker with it. What could go wrong? “
And while we’re at it, let’s see if we can somehow connect it to a computer chip. With wifi and 5G and that kind of stuff. Then we’d really be cooking!

"Hey, we don't know how this works, so let's tinker with it. What could go wrong? " Yeah. It's really stupid and scary for these clowns to be messing around "creating" new species. Yeast is vital to our food and pharmaceutical industries, and of course beer and wine. They don't even have a clue what they are doing yet the potential damage is catastrophic.

Maybe just maybe someone could figure out a way to induce a brain to infiltrate a Dem brain. Or is that too much to ask?

Pharmaceuticals are already targeting ethnic groups with genetics, for your own good. Ever wonder why they want you to take hanful after handful of drugs and vax? Mengele was a genetic hero ubtil we found out how he did it.

Strictly speaking, I think yeast is a fungus.
Some have proposed the fungi as a third kingdom in addition to plants and animals.
