gollark: True.
gollark: DNA is sort of kind of a digital storage system, and it gets translated into proteins, which can turn out really differently if you swap out an amino acid.
gollark: Real-world evolution works fine with fairly discrete building blocks, though.
gollark: Did you know? There have been many incidents in the past where improper apiary safety protocols have lead to unbounded tetrational apiogenesis, also referred to as a VK-class "universal apiary" scenario. Often, the fallout from this needs to be cleaned up by moving all sentient entities into identical simulated universes, save for the incident occurring. This is known as "retroactive continuity", and modern apiaries provide this functionality automatically.
gollark: Why continuous? Continuous things bad.
