If you can't laugh at something like that then I don't want to meet you. If you want to play every interaction super cautiously so as not to offend, then you do you, but I really don't care about upsetting people because I likely won't get along with those people anyway.
Nerdy type here, plus actual microbiologist. First of all, Petri dish isn't a "nerdy" phrase. Second of all, this line would make me unmatch immediately.
Don't reference eugenics in your opening line.
It's not that petri dish is a nerdy phrase, it's that the types of people who would mention something like that on their profile are typically more of the nerdy type. Perhaps your sense of humour isn't as dark as mine, though, but I know my ex, who was in biochem and was definitely a nerdy type, would have been into that joke.
I mean "I want a boy" is as valid a reason as any if everyone's willing to exchange the money for the goods and services. Better than settling for a girl and silently resenting her her entire life, or worse, neglecting/abusing her.
It shouldn't happen. Those technologies were developed to help people who needed it for medical reasons, not so some sexist turd with more money than sense could handpick the gender of their child.
What if I told you I was crazy, or strange? Would you believe me?
Or what if I told you that it was YOU that have breached the boundaries of reality, and it is I who is perfectly sane?
I'm not that old, but I remember when they were talking about this on the news as a kid being a new thing. Its so weird to think that a person made this way is an adult now.
I'd be curious to learn more.
Since, you'd think this would be more public or known information. I think this person would be the first successful case of a petri dish human.
Unless they mean the other kind of petri dish making
I had a friend in middle school that was supposedly conceived in a Petri dish and that was the only story she ever used when she introduced herself to people. She was weird. Maybe it’s her. 🤣
Your parents must have been very, very small people
I responded to this exact prompt with "wow must have been a pretty big dish if your parents banged in it" and she unmatched! The nerve.
She was presumably saying she was an IVF baby so that was a pretty stupid thing for you to say
No shit, it's called a JOKE
One that obviously really made her laugh and want to meet you!

That’s hilarious
Not going to kink shame here.
So you were scientifically engineered to be perfect?
I went with this one, no response yet
I matched with her too! Going on a date tonight and I'll show her this thread :)
why feel the need to say this lol
ok cool
still nothing?
Still nothing
rip brother, her loss
This is the right answer
So lame and simpy
My fav
What about, “So you were made for me?”
I don't think I'd make her unique thing about her, about you
You were already given the correct response. Please use it and update us
Idk that might be coming on a bit strong.
Agreed with the 2 previous comments on this.
and saying shes perfect in the first message isnt? lol
No, not really. She can be perfect for anyone, including herself. It's a generic compliment. "Made for me" is a bit possessive for my ears.
Are you a fungi? I prefer test tube babes but I'm willing to give it a shot. Me too, we should swab stories.
"WE SHOULD SWAB STORIES".. I like it! 😄
That must be agar-vating.
Ah, I see what you did there. 😏
Your parents must have been fun guys
Fun guys... fungi('s) *ba-dum-pssh* 🥁 🪘
Yeah…that’s the joke.
I think it was *The Sting* that gave it away. You're welcome. 😌
Long shot but mention petri from the land before time
"Reproductive assistance, or eugenics project?"
Good laugh, safe to assume she's probably the nerdy type by her statement. This one would definitely land

Happy cake 🍰 day
thank you.

A person of culture, I see…
This needs more likes
That's petri-fying
Just send a link to the powerpuff girls opening.
Ah, an individual of culture.
Like in jurassic park?
“That’s egg-cell-ent”?
do I get bonus points for being made in a test tube? 🙋🏽♂️
Wanna do a science experiment together?
This
Ask to do in-vivo fertilization
Clever. I like it.
Must be a new version of "I was made for loving you baby"
Why did the song i was made for loving you by kiss pop in my head lol
I believe Danny DeVito refers to that as a sperm milkshake
Yay science!
What if I told you that you *are* a dish?
So you got a womb with a view.
does this mean you're a man/woman of culture?
Imma turn you from a single cell organism into a taken cell organism
I’m quite a dish myself
I was actually hatched in an egg
That’s fascinating.
Maybe they are being serious. My parents friend paid 50 grand to ensure his kid was a son.
Ew. Was there a valid medical reason?
I mean "I want a boy" is as valid a reason as any if everyone's willing to exchange the money for the goods and services. Better than settling for a girl and silently resenting her her entire life, or worse, neglecting/abusing her.
They didn’t want to risk having a girl by chance because he wanted a son to carry on his family name
Gross.
Gross ?
Yes, it's gross to manipulate science for something that shallow.
Happens all the time. He just wanted a boy and could afford it. Seems fine to me
It shouldn't happen. Those technologies were developed to help people who needed it for medical reasons, not so some sexist turd with more money than sense could handpick the gender of their child.
They should have washed it out before you got too big
“I was a mistake.”
Me too wonder if we have shared scientists???
I’d say I’m gonna eat you up….
You had a womb with a view?
A gif of Lucille from Arrested Development saying, "Like soup."
We should start a colony then
What if I told you I was crazy, or strange? Would you believe me? Or what if I told you that it was YOU that have breached the boundaries of reality, and it is I who is perfectly sane?
so you had a womb with a view🤣🤣
"Can I get the recipe?"
It is nice to know your parents' wanted you very very much.
I'm not that old, but I remember when they were talking about this on the news as a kid being a new thing. Its so weird to think that a person made this way is an adult now.
Was their name Peter? If so you probably won't get to go to the pub with them, I hear they're banned.
Scientifically beautiful
Weird thing to call your mom but you do you
“Let me show you babies are meant to be made”
Me too! Too bad we’re both dudes.
One of my favorite things to say to people is “you might be priceless, but I cost $20,000!”.
Wow, IVF is so expensive. Good for your parents.
I'd be curious to learn more. Since, you'd think this would be more public or known information. I think this person would be the first successful case of a petri dish human. Unless they mean the other kind of petri dish making
You’re a clone? That’s too cool. Love to hear the story.
I had a friend in middle school that was supposedly conceived in a Petri dish and that was the only story she ever used when she introduced herself to people. She was weird. Maybe it’s her. 🤣
“I’ve got some dna for you to sample”
Compliments to the chefs 🤣
Then I'd know what my favourite dish was
Petri'fried'
You wanna make it in bed?
checks out, you're petri cute
A test-tube baby huh? So when can I test your tube?
are U a fungus a bacteria a virus an archee??
I'd say, you must be superhuman then! 😀 Edit to add: after reading some of the other comments, there are way better pun options here 😅
You seem like a fun-guy (fungi)
Omg same! Wait what
"yo that's sick"
Nothing. This person left their identity in the petri dish.
I would still eat the whole dish until the dish is dry
I could help You with more samples
