On first glance it seems that this worm was brought back to life with scientific intervention exclusively. But with the disappearence of permafrost these worms will thaw on their own and will resume living and procreating. What I want to say is, that many species of these ice-aged worms may be alive already without anyone noticing, trough permafrost has been thawed away. Who knows what impact these worms will have on our recent fauna and flora?

This will definitely end well….

This is kind of like time travel in a way. If one were to go back in time, you would mainly need to worry about the diseases and parasites you bring back with you. You are descended from those who learned to survive the diseases of the past so you are likely to have some resistance to it. You wouldn't be perfectly safe of course, but not likely at more risk than if you stayed in your own time.

On the other hand, if you travel forward in time, like this nematode did, you are entering a realm that is full of virus, bacteria, and even fungus that have had decades to learn new tricks to survive that you would have no inherent resistance to.

The chance of there being some sleeping time bomb in the permafrost seems low to me since everything alive today is descended from those who survived that germ or parasite in the past.

Put it back.

It's the "Thing"

Do you want a zombie apocalypse? Because this is how you get a zombie apocalypse.

Misread "worm" as "woman" at first, was concerned.

That’s just one that we can see, it’s the ones we can’t that give pause.

Yo. No. Leave that shit up there please.

The X-Files is becoming the be Simpsons for predictions and I don't think I like it

One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them. The worms will soon be here.

And I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

And the T-virus will be here in 3... 2... 1...

can we not do this please?

I saw this movie

And I just finally started watching The Strain...

Anyone wanna hook me up with their weapons dealer that could hook me up with a smol piece, so in case these science fucks up and starts an apocalypse they won't be able to get to me alive?

No thank you

Well Fuck
