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.
They are yet to defrost more members of United RussiaWorst 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…
Although, most likely less-evolved hence less-threathening than the current virus and bacterias.
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.
Is the saber toothed tiger less threatening than the common house cat ?
If it can’t survive in today’s environment then yes.
Yes, saber toothed tiger can’t manipulate humans.
It’d have a fair go at manipulating your arm off your torso given the chance.
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.
Less evolved as in the product of less evolution. There is such a thing as more and less because more happens over time.
Ok, but evolution doesn’t follow a straight path. The ancestors of whales looked like wolves, while whales look, act, and function much more like fish, which those wolf-like pre-whales evolved from way earlier up the line. This is a common misconception about evolution, so don’t feel bad for getting caught in it.
To have “more or less” of something implies the effectiveness of the product is directly caused by the metric being measured.
The amount of time a genotype took to evolve has no bearing on the effectiveness.
There is no such thing as “more/less evolved”. There is no gradient. Something either is evolved to adapt to its environment or it isn’t.
I’m not disagreeing with you here, but wouldn’t it be fair to say there is a gradient, but it is dynamic and defined by the current environment and what it takes to survive it?
Maybe the goal posta keep moving but we are talking about a very large time scale, so long that, for at least a couple of million years, what could be defined as more or less evolved might seem or be descibed as pretty solid.
Although i suppose its not fair to say more or less evolved and might be more accurate to say more or less well adapted.
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.
Their opponent:
Oh they are going to love microplastics
Would anyone still love me if I was a 41,700 y/o worm? 🥺
I would ancient worm, I would
Leto?
Are you asking for a friend, old worm?
always believe in your soul
Indeed.
Despite the apparent huge age gap, they can still date under the “half your age plus 7” rule.
*half your age plus 700
Are these the same worms that got into RFK Jr’s brain after his meeting with his russian handler?
No. He killed those ones with horse dewormer trying to prevent COVID
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.
Holy Fuck!
Sure, but that generally involves lead poisoning.
Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?
Perchance they are together with a Jewish bass player.
Can’t snack on the tomb cheese.
Can’t slurp the sarcophagus juice.
Can’t eat ancient worms.
What is there to live for.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.

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
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’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!
Several<>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.
Unspecified amount which is greater than two.
One funny thing about the dictionary is that complex words are explained in simple language and simple words are explained in complex language.
Yes, danieljackson?
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.
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.
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
Not a fan of snopes. Copyfish and reverse image search on right click works good for desktop users.
Sounds like a good bot.
Fact checking memes what has the world come to
Thanks!
