    Maybe it’s like wheat? Cook it once to get bread and twice to get toast.

    Has anybody tried domesticating a golden retriever a second time?

    How about we work on domesticating people. Seems we’ve allowed the feral ones to get out of control.

    I’d rather get a domesticated chimpanzee to help with chores. If someone else, preferably someone with little fear of death and nothing to live for, could get on it, I would appreciate that.

      Mr Burns, please, you’re crossing the line from everyday villainy to cartoonish super-villainy

        Wait…when you say slave, do you mean like a black person in the southern states of the USA during the mid 1800s?

        Or do you mean like a naked guy, wearing only a leather mask, collar, butt plug, and chastity device?

        Because both are slaves. Both will do your housework. But they are VASTLY different experiences for all involved.

        Funnily enough, both get whipped.

      I feel like this would be like basically selectively breeding the down syndrome equivalent into them

    i wonder if we could selectively breed them to be able to speak? like how much time would it take to breed the intelligence and necessary vocal stuff to make that possible
