Great, in a few years those tardigrades will be asking the same scientists about laser removal.

Luckily for them, this is a Chinese research team. An US based team doing this would get the tardigrades deported because the tattoo allegedly said "MS-13".

This is a funny joke, but I wish there was a rule about introducing the theme of contemporary US politics/culture wars in threads where they are not already present. It seems to serve as high-vcass flamebait.

(I know there is already a rule about metaposting to complain about rules, please consider this well-intentioned civil disobedience.)

This falls under "eschew flamebait" and "avoid generic tangents," no? (I also chuckled for whatever it's worth.)

It certainly doesn't add anything of substance to content in the article.

I find humor to be a welcome breath of fresh air in a room full of stale hot air. I reject the view that this forum has to be a dry meeting of the minds.
