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.

    Ologies with Ali Ward (aka DadWard) I listened to it yesterday while fixing my hard wood floorboards - pretty interesting hey. I kept thinking the guest sounded a lot like Will Forte.

        Sure, I like someone who knows what they want. Have three! I had a bit of a rude shock once it was too late to back out - I was like “who the hell glued these quarters down man?!”

        Still gotta seal the area. Getting to this point took me far longer than I care to admit.
