That’s not what I mean….

I was just listening to a biologist podcast about tardigrades and learnt we’ve been subjecting them to all the extremes to see what they can tolerate: super-fast speeds, radiation, you name it we’ve done it to them…

Think if super-advanced aliens did this to us. Oh. Oh god. ‘How much velocity to squish us?’ ‘How much sound to shake us apart?’

Suddenly anal probing doesn’t seem so bad.

e: ‘we’ll stick an appropriately-sized thing into an orifice that seems made for that’ sounds downright friendly by comparison.

    Most people who report such an experience seem to have been relatively uninjured. e: sometimes they claim to be tagged with a chip or something. We tend to do that to animals, too.
