I was hoping one would have a heart that says "Mom" inside, but I guess a pattern of dots is a start...

There's finally hope to get a tattoo on my micropenis!

They put the tardigrades onto surfaces cooled to below -226 degrees Fahrenheit (-143 degrees Celsius), and covered the tiny creatures in anisole, an anise-scented organic compound.

If it's not enough that they froze them, then they covered them in licorice flavor and tattooed them with it. I literally didn't realize you could torture something so.

only around 40% of the tardigrades survived, but the researchers say this could improve with further refinement. Nevertheless, the study suggests that researchers could use this method to print microelectronics or sensors onto living tissue.

“This approach provides new insights into tardigrades’ resilience

The only thing that can kill tardigrades are tattoos.

I wonder what you would call it if they were in a blue phone box.

And they didn't do a heart with a banner in front of it that says "Mom"?

We do what we must
because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

Got a non YouTube version?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Aww, poor lil guys :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

At least we can identify if it was an HP, Xerox, or Brother printer that printed these tardigrades

I'm sure nobody knew how cruel human tattoos would be to our survival either but look at us now...
