I read that as "woman" and was really really freaked out
yeah how would worms even get frozen in women for 42,000 years
This is really really cool, and also deeply troubling that the permafrost is indeed leaving.
We are still to be hit by a virus, let's hope it doesn't happen but it is a genuine concern, if not for humans but for the local wildlife.
They're most likely gonna have it in quarantine until they can be sure that doesn't happen.
It's not the worms that are the problem, unfortunately. These virus's are in the soil and plant matter just waiting to be released, if they are indeed present.
So you might imagine the surprise of scientists when a pair of ancient
nematode worms suddenly started wiggling around shortly after being
thawed from Siberian permafrost that had been frozen for tens of
thousands of years.

This is really fucking cool. 40000 year old worms just coming back to life.
Can't wait for 20th century fox to start making a movie about how it infects a group of scientists
It's important to note that although insects make up the most species of any lineage of organism, nematodes almost certainly are the most populous multi-cellular organism, and are as such going to include some of the most durable strains.
For one of every other kind of animal in existence, there are four nematodes. That is to say that although they don't make up 80% of biomass, they'd make up 80% of individual counts. That's high enough that one scientist had stated that if you suddenly observed a universe frozen in time where everything besides nemtodes spontaneously disappeared, you'd still see cities, landscapes and even animals as hologram-like films encompassing everything.
I'm not ashamed to say, I have no fucking clue what you are talking about.
What.
Bitch the Thing did it ten years earlier.

The Thing doesn't specifically involve worms
If it wanted to it could be a worm
Maybe the thing perfectly imitated these 42,000 year old worms
Does this mean the worms in question are older than the dirt they came from?

Tentacles don't count!
im more concerned how your mind went to schindler's fist from seeing that...

Nematodes are the most numerous animals on Earth by a significant degree, and include heartworms, roundworms and hookworms, and various estimates put one-sixth to one-half of all people in the world carrying them as internal parasites varying from barely commensal to disease-causing. (As opposed to skin mites around the eyes, which most people have without knowing since they usually just feed on oils and dead skin and are too small to see) However, the vast majority of nematodes prey on bacteria and other microbes and they exist in every single environment by the millions in a square meter. Many also are responsible for keeping insect populations down via parasitism.
106 people misread this?
For real?
i'd hate to be nice and cool in a permafrost only to be subjected to this blistering heat by scientists
Up to half of us have nematodes in our bodies?
theres a nemotode inside you right now
all of my shitposts are because the nematodes in my brain control my fingers, i myself am a perfect poster
Don't forget how much of the world lives in developing or third world nations. Poor living conditions make it far easier for things like that to thrive.
Minus the worms, monsters being covered in permafrost and getting out causing havok is one of the movie plots my mate and I had
