Wtf?
There's finally hope to get a tattoo on my micropenis!
micropenis
Redundant much? ~😉~
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.
hold up....
they gonna start tattooing the 5G chips in our brains now? did they give up trying to inject them with vaccines? are vaccines safe now?
nvm, they cause autism.
No, autism causes vaccines
Next thing you know they’re gonna form tardigangs!
Tattardigrades are now my favorite things.
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
Here's a song about tardigrades that I often get stuck in my head
Aww, poor lil guys :(
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...
They did surgery on a tardigrade
Ah yes, exactly what I tell my boss when I do stupid stuff for fun
They did surgery on a grape
