“Professor Jochen Brocks inspecting the 1.6-billion-year-old rocks in Australia’s Northern Territory. The rocks contained a primordial chemical structure that hinted at the existence of the Protosterol Biota.”

Not sure where this sentiment is coming from… Considering it’s fat traces of a primordial species that is a common ancestor of all complex life on earth, which went extinct over 800 million years ago, and is found in ancient rocks around waterways literally all over the world; I think we are fine to touch it.

This is not Reddit, only most sophisticated jokes are accepted here.
Are you sure? I read here that Apple released a $3500 VR headset. I laughed pretty hard, but then realized the date.
Sorry, I forget that "play" is not very hn. It's very serious work, and one should take themselves very seriously.
