Would anyone still love me if I was a 41,700 y/o worm? 🥺

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

Are you asking for a friend, old worm?

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?

[–] genuineparts@infosec.pub 1 points 59 minutes ago

Perchance they are together with a Jewish bass player.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 45 points 6 hours ago

Despite the apparent huge age gap, they can still date under the “half your age plus 7” rule.

Are these the same worms that got into RFK Jr's brain after his meeting with his russian handler?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm 19 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(

[–] ellen_musk_0x@lemm.ee 12 points 7 hours ago

It might not have been the worm actually. Missing a chunk of brain runs in his family on his uncle's side.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 81 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Can't snack on the tomb cheese.
Can't slurp the sarcophagus juice.
Can't eat ancient worms.
What is there to live for.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago

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!

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

In pre-slavic society, you don't eat worm. Worm eats you, then commands you to reproduce so worm has more you to eat.

Who is that fine looking gentleman with the godawful haircut?

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Canadian actor Michael Shanks.

[–] aaaa@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Don't worry, he's died like 5 times

[–] capital@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

after all the shit he's been through

[–] velxundussa@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Character is Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Very underrated show.

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world 48 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

We need to make it mandatory that all memes link to a reverse image search on Snopes so we can fact check them

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Fact checking memes what has the world come to

Oh, these are the new billionaire inbreds?

Just kidding, fuck yeah, I'll always upvote "the thing".

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago

Trump‘s latest Cabinet picks

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

you beat me to it with about 3h. these are mandatory flashbacks for anyone who has watched the movie and saw this meme

[–] mihor@lemmy.ml 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Is that a man in there... or something?

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 7 points 12 hours ago

Childs, get the flamethrower!

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder how this is going to advance the status of cryogenic freezing.

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

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.

Gonna need to break out the board from Cabin in the Woods

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 34 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] mouserat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 18 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

We've got to leave something interesting for the alien xeno-archaeologists of the future to uncover.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Exactly, do you want them to know we polluted ourselves to death? That's just shameful

Now, if we accidentally unleashed an ancient parasite? That's just unfortunate

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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

Normally I recommend we start small, just a little fire.

Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.
