Let's bring back the woolly mammoth!
Even though there's: -- nowhere for them to go -- nothing for them to eat
-- nowhere for them to wander
We could still thrust our fingers north and say, "Hey, I see a woolly mammoth yonder!" Keep them in an ice box the size of a zoo, maybe Hell, they could even be cannon fodder in a future war. Ya know?
Russia could use them to invade Europe, perhaps even push through the Alps to attack Rome, after all!
Yeah, sounds like a mighty fine idea.

I will posit, we would have to wait until the next Ice Age, to clone/ reanimate woolly mammoth DNA. They will never survive in this heat, and it's only going to get hotter with climate change.
Okay, perhaps they could survive in Alaska, Canada or Russia. Until climate change wipes those colder environments out, too. Canada has experienced crazy wildfires this summer, attributed to climate change. Smoke so bad, it affected some of the northern United States. I wondered if you in your state, and my grandson in Massachusetts, felt the effects as New York state did.
Me? I'd like to create things that never existed. Dragons of every hue, unicorns the size of Percherons, to name a few, or rather, two.

they have let it be known that they have successfully made human embryos without human sourcing(https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi7_r621OuAAxWZkmoFHeBBDboQFnoECA0QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fscience%2F2023%2Fjun%2F14%2Fsynthetic-human-embryos-created-in-groundbreaking-advance&usg=AOvVaw0XdEaYJlD9PZPHo8KMLmG9&opi=89978449). Of course, they say it is for "research" and that these "creations" are destroyed post haste before any significant development. There's an old addage, I feel like I came up with it on my own, and it has not always guided me, but it has reminded me and that is "just because you can, does not mean that you should. Myriads of things: eating two more cookies, arguing with a woman, driving fast into a brick wall, drinking kerosene, licking car batteries, cutting off a limb, breaking into the gorilla cage at the zoo for some rough sex, buying boboli and the list goes on. Well, bloody fuck, there are many more people who full bore feel "if it can be done, I must do it". There are dialed in humans well into adulthood now, what the Nazi's were trying to do creating the "superhuman" did not die with history. Human history has always been littered with the opening of Pandora's box, as if, it was the penultimate moment that preceeded the end of the world. The problem is that we blame Pandora for a box, the bitch has factories making zillions of them, all over the place, no doubt there are twenty such boxes in your bathroom, near your toilet right now, and at least five of them, you certainly have opened you naughty bugger you. It is inevitable that in a room full of people with forks and electrical outlets, eventually, you are going to get that smell of burning and someone shaking and people screaming because some fucker made contact, and, if left for a while in this same room(provided somehow that magical hygiene and farts and body odor and the need for excremation could somehow not be a factor)they would do it again. The mistakes of history are more observed as "hey, here is where they went wrong doing that, this time, we can do that but better....oh it is brilliant." If this a.i. does not get out of hand, perhaps, someone we know, hate or love will be killed by a chimera of a chihuahua, velocoraptor and a maggot blended into one bizarre killing maching that we did not see coming. No one should ever write out what might be a great combo of things we could splice together and serve up because there are too many fuckers who have enough money, followers and the wherewithall to do it and there is nothing, nothing we can do to stop them. There is not enough of anything you could buy or do or employ to stop them, they are on a path that is unstoppable. Whatever today is, it is the best time to enjoy all of it and maybe take just a little moment to brace yourself for the journey into tomorrow at the possibility that somewhere in the passage of time, all the villages left the control of overlords and their idiots became the new lords and masters, because they could. Jimminy Crickets, there is never a better time to drink a beer and smoke a spliff than right now. Maybe do that and take a walk into the woods, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but, rest assured, it is hard to be alone even in the woods today, hopefully the dumbasses with matches and gas took the day off from the one you might get to wander into. And Phantasm, this was the best thing I have read in a while, because it fired my mind up that if they could successfully get some mammoths back going and have them get to the fat fucker status they are known for, they could be loaded up with all sorts of viruses and biological weapons and then loaded onto a big, big plane and flown high into the stratosphere and dropped onto our enemy in a fourfold weaponization of the very best of all the shit we never needed to do in the first place. And Nir, as always, well said. It sparks the imagination and maybe a little rage and gave me a chance to just spill a little pissy rant of my own, which, I hope may have not contributed to push anyone over the line and drink a pint of turpentine, but next to the paint brushes, yeah, I do have about a half pint left myself, candles and lighters.....and, I have put a barrier up to that area, for now, yet, I do glance that way, wondering of the possibilities and colors that may come from my flights of fancy that ensue.

Nir, I avoid the Percerons, because Tractor supply refused to ship me the feed necessary to maintain them, and the city fined me for the amount of shit they shat all about. If you do this, a dragon about the size of an Italian Greyhound, seems harmless, at least until I am neutered for having them as a lap dragon, still, a lap dragon seems a really great thing to do...plus, it could be easy to crate train and feed them, depending on the temperature their fire might reach, surely, there is some metal and concrete structure to include them in the family home, and, I think they'd be cute, and, fuck stoves, you could just have them help you cook anything you needed to eat, win-win, all the way.
