I want this thing as food. I want to eat it.

It also consumes something like 20% of the electricity in your body despite weighing only 3% of your body mass.

It's also a pile of shit. I mean most of your body says "hey I could use some food" so you eat some food, and another part says "let's take a shit" and so you take a shit, and another part wants you to exercise, so you do that, and then there's this brain thing that basically says "kill yourself" and "you're a fucking piece of shit."

I mean your brain is a retard and it hates you.

This is the perfect human response to any discovery like this. "How can we eat this?"

We need recipes.

The largest rock concert in history was the one Rod Stewart gave on New Year's Eve 1993-94 on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. It was estimated that 4.2 million people attended it, although this figure is believed to include those who turned up solely for the fireworks display at midnight.

American Navy soldier, Guy Gabaldon, reputedly got 1300 Japanese soldiers (at least some of them, though, might have been classed as civilians, however) to surrender. He was only 18 years old at the time.

Chinks (at least southern Chinks) eat filamentary cyanobacteria, especially around Lunar New Year because of some homophonous superstition. It is not tasty and is not good for your health.

Sounds dreadful. Hippy dippies are often into another cyanobacterium, spirulina. They claim health benefits but the FDA doesn't approve. It's supposedly not itself poisonous, but is often adulterated with other shit that is, so spirulina supplements should probably be avoided.
 
So, have seen this before, what's the original before the edit? I wanna know the context here, what turns fried chicken into a music video? Or is it just Japan being Japan?
 
Jesus did nothing wrong.

Is that the same bacteria that were discovered to be 30,000 years old, and found under some sheets of thick ice?

No, it was found crawling around on rotting mangrove leaves, entirely alive. It's just nobody noticed it was a giant bacterium instead of some kind of tiny worm.

Fun fact: the speed of light is really fast, as fast as you can get. Light from the Sun gets to Earth in 8 minutes and 20 seconds (or so). However, that's the speed of light in free space, or a vacuum. In a dense medium, it moves much more slowly.

That sunlight you're seeing, if it came from a photon produced in the Sun's core, could have spent about 100,000 years traveling to the surface. Those photons feeding your plants, making things visible, giving you a tan, causing you to produce Vitamin D, could have been on a journey since prehistory.

Only the last few minutes of the journey were at what you'd usually think of as light speed.

Space-time is fascinatingly bizarre. And your description of the bacterium-"worm" made me think of the giant cold virus from Fringe.
