Thanks to @TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip for reminding me about this train of thought that I had years ago during COVID lol.
Who knows if viruses used to be helpful had they not gone awry?!

Bruh, literally just posted a question about germaphobia then I see this… 😭
I feel like the universe is taunting me.
This ignores how many viruses were incorporated in to our DNA though. They’re a little helpful. 😆
Those are the ones that were still beneficial!
Why did you give me Simple Wiki? lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle
It’s just what happened to come up first. 🤷
Oh, okay. I’ve never had that happen before. I do know Simple Wikipedia, though; it’s handy!

U wot m8?
Ever since I was a kid, bacteriophages have always looked like some kind of Star Wars walker to me.
Learning these float and don’t walk around on their little tippy tap feet was a big disappointment.
More like landing gear than feet
“Landing gear” is clanker for feet
Giorgio A. Tsoukalos - is that you?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
And pathogenic prions are our own, hardier, DIY version.
LOL. You’re welcome!
I like to think that viruses are just an inevitable consequence of having biochemical machines we call “life”.
Turns out this is also the answer to the Fermi paradox. We’re quarantined.
Stupidity is a good-enough reason for that!
The whole planet and everything in it is completely riddled with viruses. Better steer clear if you value your life. If they ever send you a message, delete it without reading a single word of it.
