Indeed.
Would anyone still love me if I was a 41,700 y/o worm? 🥺
Are you asking for a friend, old worm?
Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?
Despite the apparent huge age gap, they can still date under the “half your age plus 7” rule.
The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.
Are these the same worms that got into RFK Jr's brain after his meeting with his russian handler?
Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(
It might not have been the worm actually. Missing a chunk of brain runs in his family on his uncle's side.
Who is that fine looking gentleman with the godawful haircut?
Canadian actor Michael Shanks.
Don't worry, he's died like 5 times
Then ascended
after all the shit he's been through
Character is Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1
Very underrated show.
Can't snack on the tomb cheese.
Can't slurp the sarcophagus juice.
Can't eat ancient worms.
What is there to live for.
There are those packing peanuts made from corn starch.
If I remember correctly, the industry term for packing peanuts is "void filler" so, fill that void!
In pre-slavic society, you don't eat worm. Worm eats you, then commands you to reproduce so worm has more you to eat.
I wonder how this is going to advance the status of cryogenic freezing.
It won't. That's simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.
Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized
How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?
One of the issues with cryonics in large animals is sufficiently saturating all of the tissues with cryoprotectants to prevent frostbite. Some have speculated that it might be possible to engineer an organism to produce it's own cryoprotectant proteins inside all of its cells, as some arctic fish and insects do.
That wouldn't help with getting even heat into all of the tissues for thawing though.
A lot of times memes are what they are because they're harder to fact check (can't copy and paste text from them). People use them to spread misinformation for fun. -This is actually a confirmed meme though.
Says you?
We need to make it mandatory that all memes link to a reverse image search on Snopes so we can fact check them
Fact checking memes what has the world come to
Thanks!
I've seen this one!
Oh, these are the new billionaire inbreds?
Just kidding, fuck yeah, I'll always upvote "the thing".
Trump‘s latest Cabinet picks
you beat me to it with about 3h. these are mandatory flashbacks for anyone who has watched the movie and saw this meme
Is that a man in there... or something?
Childs, get the flamethrower!
Gonna need to break out the board from Cabin in the Woods
Are we just looking for imaginative ways to destroy ourselves at this point? We have enough options already! But we have to keep looking for more creative previously unknown ways to kill ourselves.
Maybe it's related to thawing of permafrost and they want to research what to do if all the frozen bugs come back to life
We've got to leave something interesting for the alien xeno-archaeologists of the future to uncover.
Xeno-archaeologist 1,000 years from now: ..... yeah .... it's another one .... fourth one in this sector .... just blew themselves up and destroyed everything for some dumb reason ... probably economics like in that last system 35 light years away .... too bad ... if we had arrived earlier, we could have helped them out ... oh well
Further research shows that they blew everything up trying to deal with the ancient, insatiable, worms they released on themselves out of curiosity. Upon reflection, it is probably better that we didn't arrive earlier.
Alien #1: ... HEY KORG! ... look at this! ... (picks up human skull and starts comically operating the jawbone) ... HEY LOOK AT ME! Imma intelligent species and my economy is more important because I have to pay for these worms ... so imma gonna blow up the world for some reason
KORG: ... Stop messing around Kang ... this place gives me the creeps, let's get out of here.
Normally I recommend we start small, just a little fire.
Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.
Tek ma te
The very hungry helminths.
Must be famished after all that time
