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

Are you asking for a friend, old worm?

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

In pre-slavic society, you don't eat worm. Worm eats you, then commands you to reproduce so worm has more you to eat.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yes, but they starved for lack of brains :(

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It might not have been the worm actually. Missing a chunk of brain runs in his family on his uncle's side.

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.

We need to make it mandatory that all memes link to a reverse image search on Snopes so we can fact check them

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.

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

Gonna need to break out the board from Cabin in the Woods

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?
