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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks 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.

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!

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

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

Are you asking for a friend, old worm?

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks 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

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 weeks ago (19 children)

Worst that there are also unknown Virus and Bacteria found in the Permafrost, which are also defrosted with the Climate change. A lot are also still life..

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

Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.

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

I love that "Uh, guys?" is a real in-character reaction and moment in many episodes of SG1. This story easily could have been a plot in the show.

While Star Trek had these wonderful "this is why we explore the galaxy" moments, SG1 wasn't afraid to place characters face-to-face with something or someone that would just erase existence or end humanity if the next moment wasn't handled the right way.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago (3 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.

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