www.Furnetics.com -or- how anthros are becoming a reality - General

Found it on the furry forum. Very obviously either a parody or viral for something. You can't modify the genetics of something that's already alive.

[QUOTE=Eudoxia;24163954]But, in all seriousness now: While people becoming furries would be horrible (The people willing to do that blah blah annoytron machines etc etc. see above), has anybody thought about, well, human-animal hybrids? Call it "genetically-engineered super-furries". They would be made from scratch (i.e. grown from a fetus) so they would not be the annoying, ass-backwards, pants-on-head retarded furries you see on pounced.org or something. They would probably think like humans but with a few characteristics of animal behaviour, like you know those animals that have social behaviour. In any case it would be interesting to see how it develops, because quoting Larry Niven: Life is so horribly boring with only humans to talk to. The problem: "Them sploicers taking our jerbs! :argh: "[/QUOTE] But then they would be pursued by legions of sweaty furries trying to rape them :ohdear:

I made this thread yesterday in the furry section. Rated you clocks. EDIT: Also, read this: [url]http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Furnetics[/url] EDIT2: You knew that this was already posted, as you visit the furry section. You need more boxes for putting this in the wrong section.

Could never happen.

Furries are giant faggots. case dismissed.

Just as much of a hoax as Genpets. [url]http://www.genpets.com/index.php[/url]

Fake.

It would have to be done through some-sort of virus that targets specific cells. But yes, the site is fake.

Impossible anyways, but how long until it is? :ohdear:

[QUOTE=tepholman;24163991]But then they would be pursued by legions of sweaty furries trying to rape them :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Well, yes, there's the problem of genetically-engineered splices getting a shitfuckload of attention from idiot desperate furries, and at the same time getting hate mail from Ann Coulter, WBC, the Tea Party, and, you know, all the other pockets of xenophobia the world has.

A book about the conflicts in a world where people can actually have themselves changed into furries, if written by a non-furry who is not biased against furries, would actually be pretty interesting.

[QUOTE=tepholman;24164237]A book about the conflicts in a world where people can actually have themselves changed into furries, if written by a non-furry who is not biased against furries, would actually be pretty interesting.[/QUOTE] It would be better if the person had no idea what a furry was.

Nice, based in Mongolia and setting up shop in Iran aswell.

OP please die, you're the reason that furries get a bad name and reduce the people who actually keep their fetishes to themselves and know not to create threads such as this to the apologists.

[QUOTE=tepholman;24164237]A book about the conflicts in a world where people can actually have themselves changed into furries, if written by a non-furry who is not biased against furries, would actually be pretty interesting.[/QUOTE] Doing that already (Actually the furries are just a part of the society -- There are thousands of sentients: Baseline humans, cyborgs, some AIs, super-furries, uplifted animals, etc.) but I have a bit of a bias towards Transhumanism and such. So yeah.

[QUOTE=tepholman;24163264]On the subject of furries becoming real, the concept of changing yourself totally just for your sexual fetish disturbs me :ohdear:[/QUOTE] I agree it like person who has no personality or redeeming quality and only thing they have is a fetish. Is like some people who use being gay or being atheist as only thing that defines them.

[QUOTE=tepholman;24164345]I look forward to it :buddy:[/QUOTE] It's kind of like Orion's Arm, but the history is different: Progress is not linnear (i.e.: Shit happens. Kind of like the middle ages, but in this case it's Galaxy-wide catastrophes), and it's not as hopeful as Kurzweil is when it comes to AI. EDIT: Meaning that AI is possible, but it won't tell us anything we don't know. Humans uploading their minds into computer, then expanding said computer until they become Gods of space-time... That's a different story.

I prayed this would be Badage Boys :(

Bionic implants are much cooler. I would replace my eyes with cameras that had infrared and nightvision modes. That'd be awesome. Also an oxygen filter in my lungs to breathe underwater. And super legs. And super arms. And a cloak. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ACTUALLY

mentions furry, boxes and flaming start immediately. Though if this were true it wouldn't necessarily have much to do with anthro-humans, because it doesn't talk about making humans into furries, it just says you can change your kids' features. bad read if i'm wrong

Well, technically we've been creating splices for years. Thing is they are just humans with pig cell proteins we use to harvest the cells or something. Or sheep with human genes that produce some specific protein/enzime or something. I'm pretty sure we're still a few decades away from genetically-engineered super-furries that actually have a hybrid appearance. And actually turning a person into one? At the VERY least a century. I think. All we have now is paint and plastic cat ears.
