Would Anomalocaris actually do well in the modern world. I feel like they probably wouldn’t do so well in the modern ecosystems of much more evolved marine creatures. Would get out-competed very quickly, and likely face plenty of other challenges. Being out-competed is likely the reason they went extinct in the first place.

Paul Walker died cause him and his friend were speeding and street racing. Similar to Ryan Dunn who died drunk driving. I think it’s been long enough to call them out and remind people they didn’t die as heroes, they died being idiots and luckily didn’t kill a bunch of innocent people with them

Plus the fast and the furious movies only got good after they drove him off into the sunset

He was also doing statutory rape things with a minor.

The thing with Robin is that, regardless of his mental health, he would’ve been the type of person to curse the choice of bringing someone back to be wasted on him.

While it is commonly believed he took his life due to a constant battle with depression, we do not know exactly what his resolve was, and bringing him back could be seen as hell in his eyes.

It wasn’t depression. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.

He allegedly took his life so he wouldn’t slowly lose himself, and become a burden on his family.

Parkinson’s, actually. They corrected it to LBD during his autopsy.

Apparently him and his wife weren’t satisfied with the Parkinson’s diagnosis as he had some abnormal psychological issues, so they decided to have some neurology tests scheduled. He unfortunately took his life before the appointment, so he never knew the real diagnosis.

Science memes are supposed to be funny, not make people cry.

No offence to Robin Williams, but I think having a living specimen of an ancient species who lived millions of years ago might help scientists advance evolutionary biology by a lot

Or maybe not, but look at that little guy, he’s so cute :D

Yeah. I dunno. They look like that weird alien parasite from TNG that tried to take over star fleet while eating bugs.

That specimen might also die really quickly considering it’s a whole different world, not even the atmosphere is similar, and without more of it’s species to multiply I would say it would be really cool to see but not super helpful to study
