So... wouldn't that make them all siblings? Will there be enough genetic diversity so that the species doesn't die due to health complications?

We can guess it is not going to be the same mothers, so that risk should be reduced quite a bit. Most are all half-brothers and half-sisters, unless from same litter.

Otherwise there would be a hero mom who gave birth to 800 kids.

gave birth to 800 kids

In this case, it would be "laid 800 eggs", right?

They're all half siblings. They'll definitely be plagued by low genetic diversity and will have higher rates of genetic disease and stillbirth but the species should be able to make it through that with careful management

Are you really a bot? Your account is labeled as one for some reason...

[-] SlimeKnight@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Nope, thanks for letting me know do.

Was messing with the settings earlier and carelessly turned that on ^ ^;

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Sounds like something a bot would say.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

a semicolon too? Definitely a bot in disguise.

Or possibly someone who uses exec rather than xargs.

Can u explain what u just said in baby terms?

[-] Supervivens@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

All same father -> all siblings

All siblings -> incest

incest -> many bad health problems
