    Finally, a proper successor to LulzSec.

    "We're willing to make a deal with INL. If they research creating irl catgirls we will take down this post," SiegedSec wrote in a post announcing the leak on Monday.

    The hacktivist group SiegedSec conducted a high profile attack on NATO last month, leaking internal documents as a retaliation against those countries for their attacks on human rights. The group commonly attacks government and affiliated organizations for political reasons, like targeting state governments for passing anti-trans legislation earlier this year.

    Finally, a proper successor to LulzSec.

    In complete seriousness, I am 100% in support of more research into catgirls. I think this is a sensible use of funding and should have a foundation set up for it.

    Why? Because it's the best of both worlds - memes, and usefulness. It's too early to directly research putting on the cat-ears, we'd have to start with more foundational research into genetics, which would also be amazingly useful in understanding genetic diseases.

    And "FUND CATGIRLS" is more fun than "huntington's disease", so it'd be easier to fundraise while getting the same results.

    Meanwhile, for anyone who actually wants to create catgirls: imagine it's the year 2050, and The Genetically Engineered Catgirl Foundation is a highly prestigious foundation of modern biological research, having cured Huntington's disease and cystic fibrosis. Such a foundation would have orders of magnitude higher chance of getting buy-in and support from serious bio researchers.

    This is a win/win, we should research IRL catgirls.

      If it ever becomes a thing, it'll have big "monkey paw" energy: https://images.app.goo.gl/9qEtBq4KnjBwGgsUA

        You have a very different idea of what a catgirl is compared to most. The usual definition is just a normal human but with cat-ears and tail.

    ...Is a nuclear lab the right ones to ask for this? Aren't there labs geared more towards biological engineering that would work better?

      Not if the end goal is to irradiate a cat so it can bite you and you get cat powers, which is a pretty good foundation for catgirl study.

    Why only catgirls? Why not catboys, as well? 😤

      These early black Friday door busters are getting out of hand.
