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..

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days 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.

No. He killed those ones with horse dewormer trying to prevent COVID

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.

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.

Normally I recommend we start small, just a little fire.

Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.
