I stopped worrying about this one. Pathogens tend to track closely to their host, and are ill adapted to environments even slightly unlike their chosen host. You can’t share most sicknesses with your pets because your body temps are a few degrees apart, for example. So the chances of anything from millions of years before us being well suited enough to represent a threat to us seem minuscule ESPECIALLY compared to the world we wake up to each morning: where nine billion organisms just like us are out there breeding new potential threats.
Don't be getting people's hopes up
I wonder if the elite bunkers and "ai" would save them from this
I asked AI and it said yes
Yes, Zuck would probably live an extra 10 years in his supersized concrete coffin, until a critical system fails or one of his staff member finally goes crazy and eats him
The AI would eventually hallucinate that the zombies are one of the residents and let them into the bunker.
Altman's eye voids will save us all
How bad is the world we have created for ourselves that a zombie apocalypse sounds like quite a nice change.
It’s about time
Ar[c]tisinal micro-plastic free ice cubes for the super rich's cocktail parties
Hopefully they find the ancient stargate down there too.
The thing?
Is this how we release the zombie virus?
Neat idea but it’s not how viruses work
Does it even matter anymore?
At some point it will be an improvement
And now it's going to melt, and we have turned million year-old ice into a puddle.
That would have happened to it in a few years anyway
They delved too greedily and too deep.
