That's... not how cloning works. It just copies genotype, not memories

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 232 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Memories are stored in dna we all played assassin's creed you just look foolish here

[–] RangerAndTheCat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Epigentics enters the chat

[–] guy@piefed.social 58 points 2 weeks ago

Yes and that would have made a boring comic. This one was funny.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 51 points 2 weeks ago

Memories are stored in the balls

[–] Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 weeks ago

Still a great silly little comic that made me laugh.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 32 points 2 weeks ago

That's not how comics work. The joke is in the silliness, not the logic.

Damn, thanks for pointing out the mistakes in that four panel comics with a instant clone-o-matic cum incinerator contraption that works with a drop of goop.

cum incinerator contraption

I was in a band by that name.

For some reason, we didn't do very well in the Bible Belt 🤷

I saw you guys when you opened for the Revolting Cocks. Good set!

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pshaw.

Next you'll try to tell me we can not create a full-grown adult with the pull of a lever.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i can get full grown heads but the bodies grow normal rate they all look like this

Molly, you’re looking awfully apish!

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's all stored in the Akashic records. With the right tech it can be done.

Yet, most human clones share their last name.

Identical twins are natural clones and most of them share their last name (at least at birth and in childhood). So there is a correlation you can't deny between being a clone and sharing a name. Destroyed by pure logic. Checkmate atheist

Frank Herbert lied??

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Wrong, the Kwisatz Haderach can access all ancestral memories of both his female and male lineages directly from his DNA.

[–] Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 2 weeks ago

Clearly you are not familiar with the ways of cloning.

[–] slappyfuck@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I know you’re being taken to task for this lol so I’m sorry, I’m not trying to pile on, but this is a HUGE pet peeve for me in fiction! Especially Hitler stuff. I would love to do a story about an Orthodox Jewish family that raises a baby cloned Hitler to be a devout Jew.
