'What could possibly go wrong?': Apparently, scientists have created living robots called 'xenobots' that can reproduce

Based on the last 18 months or so, maybe science can, you know, just hit pause? Here’s the latest:

The world's first living robots, known as xenobots, can now reproduce — and in a way not seen in plants and animals, scientists say https://t.co/1IwKjZJS2W

Remember in the film “Jurassic Park” when they used amphibian DNA to create the dinosaurs? They did the same thing with the xenobots:

The prophecy is true:

Something something your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. https://t.co/tuZSBvVsNp

We all know how it ends:

Man, imagine if there were science fiction stories about this and they had some sort of message https://t.co/O3EYIpmiad

Future tweet: “Dr. Fauci assures America we only need two weeks to slow the spread of the xenobots”:

I, for one, welcome our new xenobot overlords. https://t.co/ul3pPX1oTY
