Maybe y'all need to consider, isn't it strange to fantasize about bringing extinct (potentially) sentient beings back into existence for the sole purpose of killing them again and carving up their body parts for sensory pleasure?
The Human experience is pretty weird. Being reductive about just about anything we do ends up sounding like a horror show.
I was first imagining being in the same era and happening upon one as one would a deer in the words.
You first imagined cruelty and elitism. Why it's that?
Never mind; username explains.
Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur's own time?
I'll rephrase.
My first thought was a survival scenario.
Your first thought was selfish evil.
Why was that, I wondered?
My point is that your world view was to interpret it as a negative first. Not a comical musing. Angsty.
Nobody needs to consider that because it's not a strange question at all.
Not compared to my other fantasies, no.
I remember my high school teacher once said he'd want to try a Dodo Bird if it can be brought back to life lol
I remember doing a some do research in middle school, and I found people disliked the extra gamey taste of dodo
