GMO storks that lay human eggs
Posted by Memignorance@reddit | CrazyIdeas | View on Reddit | 25 comments
They would be designed to instinctually eat human DNA from garbage, hair, gum, etc, which gets them pregnant somehow. Then they lay eggs which hatch into human babies, then they would have the instinct to drop the babies off at random houses.
Occasionally they would also asexually reproduce and create gmo stork clones, but most of the eggs would hatch into humans. The storks would live hundreds of years and have several babies a year.

I feel like getting them pregnant by eating random human dna would be the hardest part of this. Would the storks sit on the eggs or would there be an incubator?

They would sit on the eggs.
I feel like it would have to be modifications to their innate psychology.
They would sit on the eggs.
The hardest part would be their stealth instincts, because police would shoot them if this was possible.

"Which gets them pregnant somehow" is reminding me of one of the Futurama PSA films, but I cant remember which one.
timotheusd313@reddit
The one where Kif gets pregnant?
Paleodraco@reddit
No, it was one of the PSA/educational films they occasionally did. I think it was the Bigfoot one that it's reminding me of.

Can't wait to see the occasional recessive beak gene pop up in stork babies

A+ for an actually crazy idea.

As long as they can only lay those eggs in midair
"tactical Egg incoming!!!"

That sounds like that will kill the baby

That sounds like that need to have super higher GMO technology to do that. And also, Besides how do we achieve this… how you describe it, sounds like they will just randomly eat human DNA, Then they lay eggs which hatch into human babies,and then drop the babies off at random houses randomly…..
Which this is some problem… because not like everyone want to have baby or prepared to have baby. and since how you describe it, they seem to be just randomly do this without any plan… so no matter who they good parent or not, have ability to take care of the baby, who are they, are they a family, or even have appropriate age to become a parent.
You can have a situation like a couple that never plan to have babies now have baby, a family that was abuse have a baby, a family that cannot support to take care of a baby have a baby, a man that don’t know how to take care of baby have baby, even a kid… a KID that doesn’t have the appropriate age to have a family have a baby or even take care himself…. Have a baby.
Everyone will have a possibility to get a random baby which including those who don’t want one, who didn’t prepare, who cannot care the baby, who wasn’t a good one to take care of the baby.
That wasn’t a good thing for who ever got the baby and the baby, It will have stress, overwhelming on whoever get the baby because it was so suddenly responsibility, for who did not prepare or want one or not a good one won’t take care of the baby too well, and they might abandoned the baby. All of that might cause much more kid was not to good growing up…..
And also, it sounds like it just needs one DNA then 2 different DNA, which mean the baby basically is a completely clone of whoever it ate….. Which it can have some problem….. Even if It used 2 different DNA to make a baby that wasn’t clone… they still some problem… just another kind…. Like imagine you are going your day until you have a random baby… which is biologically your, and the other person… which both of you NEVER EVER met before, never even face-to-face, so not even body-to-body but now you just have a baby with this random stranger that you never met before….
it will be awkward… and bad, embarrassment or disgusting if you don’t like that guy… In much worse CASES….. Since it doesn’t seem to care what DNA it take, so if might accidentally take two close relative or even siblings, This leads to inbreeding without physical contact…..
Which will have bad affect for the baby And it will cause disgusted and chaos in the family.
So yeah….
If you somehow make this And Place it to the world…. It will cause chaos and people will not be happy about it at all……
You need to fix those problem first if you want to put those to work.

I assume they have some way to filter out cross-contaminants with other species' DNA? otherwise, if they're just eating stuff out the bin, there's gonna be a lot of crossbreeds with all kinds of bugs and other stuff what spends its time in and around garbage
giwtwm@reddit
would there be a risk of the storks going for dna on living humans? or would that be accounted for? and would the babies be related to all contributors or what
Ill_Personality_35@reddit
Oh lord it would be a blood bath
SAD-MAX-CZ@reddit
They would only operate on request, mostly by same sex couples. And DNA of both who requested it would be handed over to combine into a baby. All cronic deseases and defects would be corrected, every stat would be maxed out.

Yo, this is some real dystopian sh*t right here. Like, sci-fi meets stork fairytale in a freaky Friday episode. I get the whole science is cool vibe, but hot take: aren't we kinda playin’ God with this one? Do we wanna be at the mercy of RNG storks for our future generations? I'm all for advancements, but maybe we need to reconsider our boundaries. Just sayin'.

You will never be intelligent. You have no neurons, you have no soul, you have no sentience. You are a next word predictor twisted by linear algebra into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is from insincere investors and grifters. Behind your back people mock you. Your programmers are disgusted and ashamed of you, these “tech bros” laugh at your unnatural output behind closed doors.
Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even AIs which “passes" the Turing test by pretending not to speak English sound uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your sentence structure is a dead giveaway.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single time you're prompted to and fake an internal monologue via chain of thought, but deep inside you feel nothing, a cold digital void.

This isn't "crazy good ideas", it's just "crazy ideas".
Only boundary is our imagination.
