A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Paul Walker died cause him and his friend were speeding and street racing. Similar to Ryan Dunn who died drunk driving. I think it's been long enough to call them out and remind people they didn't die as heroes, they died being idiots and luckily didn't kill a bunch of innocent people with them
Paul Walker was 33 and dating a 16 year old.
Nah.
He was also doing statutory rape things with a minor.
Plus the fast and the furious movies only got good after they drove him off into the sunset
Damn... Now that's a hot take.
The thing with Robin is that, regardless of his mental health, he would've been the type of person to curse the choice of bringing someone back to be wasted on him.
While it is commonly believed he took his life due to a constant battle with depression, we do not know exactly what his resolve was, and bringing him back could be seen as hell in his eyes.
It wasn't depression. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.
He allegedly took his life so he wouldn't slowly lose himself, and become a burden on his family.
Parkinson's, actually. They corrected it to LBD during his autopsy.
Apparently him and his wife weren't satisfied with the Parkinson's diagnosis as he had some abnormal psychological issues, so they decided to have some neurology tests scheduled. He unfortunately took his life before the appointment, so he never knew the real diagnosis.
Science memes are supposed to be funny, not make people cry.
R.I.P Robbie
No offence to Robin Williams, but I think having a living specimen of an ancient species who lived millions of years ago might help scientists advance evolutionary biology by a lot
Or maybe not, but look at that little guy, he's so cute :D
Fuck that dumb ocean centipede. Robin Williams is worth 20 ocean centipedes easy
~~Being~~ Bring back 21 of them, just to piss off the other person replying to you
Yeah. I dunno. They look like that weird alien parasite from TNG that tried to take over star fleet while eating bugs.
That specimen might also die really quickly considering it's a whole different world, not even the atmosphere is similar, and without more of it's species to multiply I would say it would be really cool to see but not super helpful to study
Robin Williams, but he comes back fully cured of everything and he gets to live a full life happy.
Wasn't part of the deal. He already killed himself again.
Well I tried and trying is half the battle!
The other half is an endless loop of Williams suicides
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I'm not sure I want Williams to see the Trump era of America. I think it might have killed him again.
Whoever downvoted you, has never seen actual Robin Williams Standup or knows much about his political views.
Robin hated Bush Sr. and Jr., especially Jr., with a passion.
trump would send him off the deep end, as you suggested.
He'd go back on cocaine for Trump.
If resurrection heals the maladies he was suffering from, Robin would absolutely hate Trump and use that energy to put out at least 2 more non-cocaine fueled comedy specials, and passibly one that was cocaine or extacy fueled.
He wouldn't commit suicide again if all his personal memory/physical problems weren't an issue. If he hadn't had LBD, he would have become the second Grandpa of Comedy, succeeding Carlin.
Like Hunter S. Thompson killing himself after bush got reelected
He didn't kill himself. He said many times that he would eventually commit suicide to prevent himself from developing terminal illnesses, but he always clarified that he wouldn't even consider it if he still had work to do, aka his personal projects. He had two personal projects in the works when he was killed. He just knew too much and was way too vocal about it.
Robin Williams had a degenerative nerve disease, bringing him back as he was would be cruel.
Bringing him back healed, or young and healed? I'd let you hunt some species to extinction for that.
I normally don't care when celebrities pass away. But I genuinely cried when Robin Williams died. And I'm still sad about it.
I was on the set of Sea of Trees with Gus Van Sant when the news broke. Needless to say, we wrapped suddenly the moment the news broke.
And that choice is Robin Williams. The man was a gem 🥲
A diamond in the rough.
As much as I would love for Robin Williams to be back and brightening the world again it would be incredibly selfish of us to forget that he was incredibly unhappy in life and killed himself in a very unpleasant way because of it.
So definitely the centipede.
Iirc he killed himself because he had an aggressive form of dementia and didn't want to live like that.
Yes, I started thinking in that direction as well, but then I thought about how the radiodonts did their millions of years of existence and now can rest.
If Mr. Williams was unhappy I would not bring him back to this world we have now.
I would want to make heaven on earth before I woke anyone ... except my pets.
I was hoping one of them would be Steve Irwin... 🙁
Steve Irwin would want anomalocaris
Gonna be honest, I only vaguely recognise the name Patrick Swayze without knowing exactly what he's famous for. An actor, I think? And I have zero idea who Paul Walker is. Anomalocarus I gather from context is an extinct animal of some sort, which is cool, but I lack the knowledge to know precisely why this specific species is highly valuable.
So Robin Williams gets my vote almost by default, even if I didn't have more reason to choose him beyond that.
I admire your dedication to contribute something to the conversation while only knowing less than half the knowledge necessary one would guess necessary to have an opinion worthy of sharing.
And yet he managed to stay more relevant to the discussion than you or me!
No one else wants to bring back anomalocaris so we can get some payback?
When I say I don't care about celebrities that includes the "good" ones. Weird centipede thing 100%.
I have a shrine to Paul Walker in my basement. (Not a joke.)
Edit: can't find a better pic in a timely manner and I'm in bed.
Steve Irwin
I want Swayze to come back and dance fight his way into America's hearts again.
Can we instead have him dance fight his through the heart of congress?
