Despite the apparent huge age gap, they can still date under the “half your age plus 7” rule.
*half your age plus 700
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..
More fun still - prions.
Your autoclave won't help you now, kids.
Let's just hope that they have no compatible hosts on Earth
Although, most likely less-evolved hence less-threathening than the current virus and bacterias.
Not less evolved. Just evolved differently for alternative environmental circumstances.
There is no hierarchy of evolutionary traits. Just an amalgamation of traits that are or are not useful in the current environment. What genetic makeup is effective in one place and time is useless in another, and what was once useless may now be beneficial.
We have no clue how threatening they could potentially be.
That's not how evolution works.
They are investigating it, some million years in the oldest beeings in Earth don't make evolutive difference to the current ones. The only question is, if they can infect humans or animals or not. The climate change make that all tipe of indesirable things are defrosted, adding more dangerous diseases to the existing ones.
Viruses and bacteria don't evolve to kill you. They propogate in your system to spread themselves. It's actually in their best interest to keep you alive, so the more evolved ones would be less deadly because they've had more time to dial it in. Not that evolution is something they choose, it's from mutations that work more or less better.
Worm 1 [Healthy] Age 2 quadrums (32000) of Russia Consuming nutrient paste
Worm 2 [Healthy] Age 1 (41700) of Russia Consuming nutrient paste
worm 2 has gone into a murderous rage, and will kill anyone he sees
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.
Would anyone still love me if I was a 41,700 y/o worm? 🥺
Leto?
I would ancient worm, I would
Are you asking for a friend, old worm?
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
Can't snack on the tomb cheese.
Can't slurp the sarcophagus juice.
Can't eat ancient worms.
What is there to live for.At least we will have mummy jerky... For now.
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!
Just met the girl
I know about the sarcophagus juice, but what the heck is the tomb cheese? lol
Be blessed by the 2.6k years old tomb cheese.

Indeed.
Are these the same worms that got into RFK Jr's brain after his meeting with his russian handler?
Their opponent:
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?
This is actually a confirmed meme though.
Except for a couple of details from the link you posted: there were only two worms, and they are likely of the same age (don't think this can be determined more specifically than 'around 40 thousand years'), and the picture is absolutely wrong.
Oh they are going to love microplastics
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.
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
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
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
they should eat one, or place it in their ear canal :)
Where are the animorphs when you need them most
Gonna need to break out the board from Cabin in the Woods
Normally I recommend we start small, just a little fire.
Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.
Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?
Perchance they are together with a Jewish bass player.
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.
The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.
Tek ma te
Yes, danieljackson?
They are yet to defrost more members of United RussiaSeveral<>two
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.
One funny thing about the dictionary is that complex words are explained in simple language and simple words are explained in complex language.
Unspecified amount which is greater than two.
