Quick! Someone write the most abhorrent sentence known to man, we really need a major stroke this time
No, but there is some artillery
That’s alright. Better stay away from ideas to ruin an entire city LOL
It’s the economy, stupid. So yes, it’s probably gas prices.
Yes, you’re mistaken. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.
None of these studies are done with a DIY set, they’re done at million-dollar laboratories by professionals. Two of these studies found exactly what I told you in the previous comment, that the bacteria became better equipped to deal with UV damage.
The second study is interesting, as they found a way to select the bacteria to produce the chemical of interest. But you won’t be able to do this with a DIY kit either.
And lastly, how are you going to determine whether you’re even on the right track? Do you have a whole bunch of rhesus monkeys that you can inoculate to see whether they die and infect each other?
Even then, you won’t be able to do that. CRISPR is a precision technique and you need exactly the right sequence and enzyme to make the alterations you want. You can’t get that in a starter kit.
You also can’t random bullshit go! your way with UV cause it will straight up kill bacteria and the ones that don’t die will just be more resistant to UV damage.
Stop watching the crazy stuff :)
Perhaps you’ve watched too much crazy stuff because there is no way you’re going to make a deadly and infectious virus with “a $15 CRISPR starting kit”.
How is it any more stupid than a tweet? That was pretty mass marketable, I would say.
What? We didn’t start the fire…
