There used to be an r/inmice and there were a few dozen massive breakthroughs a year, but all were in mice.
I don’t condone we do this level of testing on humans without all the research that goes into mice, but how funny would it be if we find a way to breed super-intelligent, anti-cancer, anti-aging, super-fertile (and never bald) mice only for them to take over and consume all resources (and us) before we can apply the same science to ourselves? It would be the most unexpected apocalypse.
