Are these the same worms that got into RFK Jr's brain after his meeting with his russian handler?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(

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

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.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Further research shows that they blew everything up trying to deal with the ancient, insatiable, worms they released on themselves out of curiosity. Upon reflection, it is probably better that we didn't arrive earlier.

Alien #1: ... HEY KORG! ... look at this! ... (picks up human skull and starts comically operating the jawbone) ... HEY LOOK AT ME! Imma intelligent species and my economy is more important because I have to pay for these worms ... so imma gonna blow up the world for some reason

KORG: ... Stop messing around Kang ... this place gives me the creeps, let's get out of here.

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

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?

I wonder how this is going to advance the status of cryogenic freezing.

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized

Is one of them RFK's brain worm?

[–] Chuymatt@beehaw.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The very hungry helminths.

[–] Michal@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Must be famished after all that time

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.

[–] uxia@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, danieljackson?
