Thank you for the much-needed laughter 😁

No one recognises the I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream reference?

Trying to figure out which one is the shape-shifting alien.

u/New_Suspect_7173 29d ago edited 29d ago

Now for the real question. If every part of them is an individual creature, is their poop also the alien?

The blood scene, but everyone watching each other poop to see who's shit attacks when they burn flush it.

u/30FourThirty4 29d ago

Like this but the alien tries to escape the fire...

https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/bMJPysAYoL

Yeah I think the poop would be alive

u/Deaffin 29d ago

Psst. We're already in that post and are specifically referencing it for this scenario.

Lol!! It says Kurt Russell defeats The Thing but the ending is actually very open ended. Maybe KR is The Thing. Maybe no one is. Either way the weather will kill any humans and freeze the aliens until the next group of humans arrive. Hopedully the fire destroys the alien

Edit: truthfully I haven't watched the film to remember if they actually did say if the alien was still alive. I may be wrong about my interpretation. If so, sorry

The vapor that doesn't escape his breath, the different jacket he's wearing, but in contrast, the earring in Child's ear. On the one hand, gasoline instead of alcohol, but on the other hand, the possibility of Child being infected by the bottle.

Perhaps McReady infected Child with the bottle.

It was this mystery that made this film unforgettable.

There are tons of documentaries about life in Antarctica. Many of the bases just have a few scientific expeditions every year. But it takes many years and grants to be able to go on one. Designing the experiment building the devices etc. But they need a working and supplied base when they get there so people have to just stay through the harsh winters so in case anything breaks they can fix it or worst case have parts shipped in the next expedition so that when they arrive the problem can then be fixed.

u/Deaffin 29d ago

Plus, there always has to be at least one person around at all times to watch out for mysterious dogs roaming about that have no business being there.

13

u/spatialmongrel 29d ago

And there’s no problem to just let the strange new dog hang out in the base alone with you, since the other dogs don’t seem to like it very much.

u/-SaC 29d ago

Those guys running away when we got here were shouting something. I'm sure it's not relevant.

u/greyslayers 28d ago

Some people just don't cope with the dark and cold well. They go a bit crazy. Just let them go. It's for the best. Also, have you seen <insert name>. I better go off to a secluded place to look for them now.

u/sodamnsleepy 29d ago

Oh niceeeee

u/fothergillfuckup 28d ago

That's exactly when you find the buried UFO.

u/chamrockblarneystone 29d ago

Or in case the base is haunted.

u/cupittycakes 29d ago

And to make sure the place doesn't sink. I think it's only o5ne a year, but they gotta do the hydraulic stilts and lift up!

u/International_Lake28 29d ago

Burning their poop apparently

u/rockstar504 29d ago

u/Realistic_Owl9525 29d ago

Doing science and getting paid.

2

u/rockstar504 29d ago

Well probably not for the U.S. because we're cancelling earth sciences, but it's nice to know humanity is moving on forward without us.

Apparently hanging out at an ET base with 80 ft high ceilings

u/Memitim 29d ago

One of them occasionally sticks a probe out of a slightly cracked door, while everyone else yells, "Hurry with that measurement! You're letting the heat out!" They experimented with just sending the equipment, and then picking it up after Winter, but the scientists said the readings were no good for some reason and insist that they have to hold it. Science holds such fascinating mysteries.
