Ok, I am not supporting bestiality here. But, I just came to know about a Dogxim, a dog fox hybrid and I had known for a long time that horses and donkeys can breed (to produce a mule). So, I was just curious, can humans breed with any other animals closely related to us?

Are you really this fucking thick? There's more to genetic compatibility than chromosome count. Otherwise we'd be seeing human–Reeves's muntjac hybrids. Or chimp-gorilla.

Are you seriously this fucking thick? You think I've been serious? Lol

Oh, so you were just being a dick for the sake of being a dick? That's worse bro.

How is it being a dick? Because you got mad?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Because it compares people with down syndrome to chimpanzees, and because it took a good faith serious discussion and made a mockery of it.

Bro, humans are compared to chimpanzees. DNA wise were almost a banana as well. You're getting butthurt on anothers behalf because of the fact that they have an extra chromosome? That's literally what down syndrome is.
