April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberGallus domesticus is the species name for the common chicken. Gallus gallus is the species it emerged from, the red junglefowl
"Gallus gallus domesticus" is thus another way of saying "chicken".
And while there is some truth to avians being descended from raptors, it's unlikely any sort of genetic modification of the chicken genome short of flat-out atavism (read: rewinding the evolutionary record) will produce a raptor.

MemberTungsten carbide, while very hard, is also very brittle. Seems less ideal for tooth and claw.

MemberThe issue is that "activating" the rest of the DNA wouldn't mean much in the short term unless you start getting heavy into biosculpting. At best the reactivated DNA would do jack, and at worst cause a lethal disorder because it impacts a vital system and can't be expressed with the physiology the creature has at that time.
DNA is generally "deactivated" for a reason. See also snails consistently becoming slugs.
