Oh they are going to love microplastics

[–] Shameless@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 hours ago

Are you asking for a friend, old worm?

Several were defrosted, two woke up

= The others didn't.

RIP worms

The dictionary definition says more than two, but it also says it mean some; which has a definition of an unspecified amount.

Yes, danieljackson?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 64 points 11 hours ago

Despite the apparent huge age gap, they can still date under the β€œhalf your age plus 7” rule.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] genuineparts@infosec.pub 1 points 5 hours ago

Perchance they are together with a Jewish bass player.

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 6 minutes ago

No. He killed those ones with horse dewormer trying to prevent COVID

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm 21 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(

[–] ellen_musk_0x@lemm.ee 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

Sure, but that generally involves lead poisoning.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 87 points 18 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 6 points 9 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 14 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.

Oh, these are the new billionaire inbreds?

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

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 8 hours ago

Fact checking memes what has the world come to

Who is that fine looking gentleman with the godawful haircut?

[–] aaaa@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] capital@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

after all the shit he's been through

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Canadian actor Michael Shanks.

[–] velxundussa@sh.itjust.works 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Character is Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Very underrated show.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 35 points 18 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 11 points 15 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 19 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 6 hours 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

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

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 8 points 11 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 11 hours ago (2 children)

Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized

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

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 21 points 19 hours ago

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

Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.
