This kind of cringe censor is really starting to grind my gears. Just why the fuck?

HEY! watch your language. it’s wh* the fuck
WTH*
To please some advertising tuned algorithm. It’s pathetic.

Also probably into sexy primes.
I can slather some gr**se on them there gears for ya.
Advertisers don't even like the word "sex" now? But it sells!
If this is George, I think I once had a chance to see him in person. It’s weird that an animal is a famous celebrity for its actions, and still kept preserved in a zoo.
Did he impregnate you?
If sex addiction is an inheritable trait in tortoises he set his kind up for success
That's not how genetics works.
Are you a tortoise fertility specialist?
No, but tortoise have the same genetic principles. One individual just doesn't have the genetic diversity to save the whole species from dying out, no matter how much he spreads his genes. It depends on species, but numbers range around 50 to 150 individuals at minimum.
If they don't die out thanks to him, they die out the next few generations.
It's not ideal but it is definitely possible.
This is a just a meme but it doesn't take any effort to verify it.
Snippet:
Diego's 'work' to save his species started back in the 1960s, when there were only 14 wild tortoises - 2 male and 12 female - left on Espanola, the southernmost island in the Galapagos Archipelago and the only native habitat for the species.
Now, with roughly 2,000 captive-bred tortoises released into the wild, the species has rebounded, and it looks like Diego and his mates were largely responsible. Based on recent genetic studies, Diego has fathered roughly 40 percent of all those released.
Possible it is. Well, maybe. Because they are weakened by inbeeeding and low variability, more suspecible to sicknesses and environmental changes.
Btw, modern humanity has low genetic diversity too (except some San people), because we had only about 10'000 members sometime after out-of-africa. Some San neighbour is more genetically different from the next than a south american from a chinese.
These guys live so long that in one of their generations, we'll be able to clone more from the remains of dead specimens.
Life, uhhhhh.... finds a way
I mean 1-2 is much more susceptible to Stochastic bottle necks than 50-60. On the other hand all coming from a single father greatly reduces genetic diversity which has a negative impact. Hard to tell how they would interact.
