Is that what 1/8 of a byte is called when getting a donut in Canada?
Specifically from Tim Hortons, which despite not having been Canadian in ages still gets treated like a Canadian icon.

And it won’t be recreating the mammoth, just giving mammoth-like features to an elephant.
It’s a truly strange project.
Maybe to make it better tolerate colder climates?
As if Denmark isn’t flat enough already without introducing a bunch of fluffy pachyderms…
I wants it! They look so fluffy and soft
These mice are the first step towards us creating Pokémon
Time to slap some electric eel dna in that bad boy and get a pichu.
