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.

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

At least we will have mummy jerky... For now.

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

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

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.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 0 points 6 days ago

This is actually a confirmed meme though.

Except for a couple of details from the link you posted: there were only two worms, and they are likely of the same age (don't think this can be determined more specifically than 'around 40 thousand years'), and the picture is absolutely wrong.

Would anyone still love me if I was a 41,700 y/o worm? 🥺

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.

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..

Your autoclave won't help you now, kids.

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

Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.
