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.

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 11 points 8 months 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 3 points 8 months 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.

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.

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 7 points 8 months ago (3 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.

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