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.

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.

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

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

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(

[–] ellen_musk_0x@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day 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.

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

[–] net00@lemm.ee 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I know about the sarcophagus juice, but what the heck is the tomb cheese? lol

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.
