TIL there is an extremophile species known as Conan the Bacterium. Now I want to make an indestructible plasmoid.

This little bacterium "can survive cold, dehydration, vacuum, and acid, and therefore is known as a polyextremophile."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinococcus_radiodurans

Plasmoids get resistance to poison and acid. Barbarians get resistance to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning (while raging). I figure there's got to be an easy way of adding cold and then even more resistances.

Bonus shout out to a truly great spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1WyXCQKh3C5YHHkRZycziF?si=6b8808a705454dea

Merging Extremophiles with Nanotech for Space Colonization

So a while back I read: What to think about machines that think. Excellent book.

One of the writers questioned why we send fragile humans into space when self-replicating nanoships could have already transmitted data about the entire universe back to earth.

My question is: let's say nanoships already did that. Next step, colonization. So which extremophiles would you attach nanoships to in order to colonize?

Radiodurans is resistant to radiation. There are also anaerobic extremophiles which do not need oxygen to survive.

(Extra points and maybe even payment if you can post art that represents your response.)

Thanks yall!

Are flamingos extremophiles?

I’ve read in a few different places that flamingos are extremophiles - They can live in low oxygen, high altitude environments at a wide range of temperatures (Correct me if I’m wrong). However I can’t find any credible source, research paper etc that confirms this.

Does anyone have any sources that can give a definitive answer? Thanks!

And what's the connection between them? I know it's the same story being told across those albums, but is it the same part chronologically or something?

I just can't stop listening to this song. It's my favourite BTBAM song atm, heck full stop. Especially the live version they put out, just so tight! My favourite BTBAM song changes every couple of weeks but I just can't move past Extremophile Elite, although an hourable mention does go to Voice of Trespass, God I love that jazzy sound!

What are extremophiles...

Extremophiles :

https://biologyideas.com/extremophiles-introduction-and-definition/

1)Β An extremophile ( from LatinΒ extremusΒ meaning β€œextreme” and GreekΒ philiaΒ meaning β€œlove” ).

2) Extremophiles are living organisms with theΒ ability to survive and thrive in extreme environmentsΒ as a result of different physiological and molecular adaptations.

Extremophiles

3)Β These organisms thrive inΒ extreme niches, ice, and salt solutions, as well as acid and alkaline conditions.

4)Β Some might grow inΒ toxic waste, organic solvents, heavy metals, or in several other habitats that are considered inhospitable for life.
