    Would Anomalocaris actually do well in the modern world. I feel like they probably wouldn’t do so well in the modern ecosystems of much more evolved marine creatures. Would get out-competed very quickly, and likely face plenty of other challenges. Being out-competed is likely the reason they went extinct in the first place.

    If Mr. Williams was unhappy I would not bring him back to this world we have now.

    I would want to make heaven on earth before I woke anyone … except my pets.

      Do you have candles burning on it?

        Only during events, but yes. Well, one saint candle thingy and the others are just lights. See edit.

    I want Swayze to come back and dance fight his way into America’s hearts again.

      Can we instead have him dance fight his through the heart of congress?

        I’ll give him a select list of hearts I want him to dance his way through.

        Subtitle A: “The dancing just went from ‘dirty’ to ‘deadly’.”

        Subtitle B: “Watch out, he’s changed his shoes.”

    Robin Williams, but he comes back fully cured of everything and he gets to live a full life happy.

      Wasn’t part of the deal. He already killed himself again.

    I’m not sure I want Williams to see the Trump era of America. I think it might have killed him again.

    source
    • AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If resurrection heals the maladies he was suffering from, Robin would absolutely hate Trump and use that energy to put out at least 2 more non-cocaine fueled comedy specials, and passibly one that was cocaine or extacy fueled.

      Like Hunter S. Thompson killing himself after bush got reelected

      source
      • AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        He didn’t kill himself. He said many times that he would eventually commit suicide to prevent himself from developing terminal illnesses, but he always clarified that he wouldn’t even consider it if he still had work to do, aka his personal projects. He had two personal projects in the works when he was killed.

    • Tyfud@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Whoever downvoted you, has never seen actual Robin Williams Standup or knows much about his political views.

      Robin hated Bush Sr. and Jr., especially Jr., with a passion.

      source
      • RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        He’d go back on cocaine for Trump.

  • Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Paul Walker died cause him and his friend were speeding and street racing. Similar to Ryan Dunn who died drunk driving. I think it’s been long enough to call them out and remind people they didn’t die as heroes, they died being idiots and luckily didn’t kill a bunch of innocent people with them

    source
    • Tyfud@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      He was also doing statutory rape things with a minor.

      source
    • Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Paul Walker was 33 and dating a 16 year old.

      Nah.

    When I say I don’t care about celebrities that includes the “good” ones. Weird centipede thing 100%.

    source
  • ursakhiin@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    As much as I would love for Robin Williams to be back and brightening the world again it would be incredibly selfish of us to forget that he was incredibly unhappy in life and killed himself in a very unpleasant way because of it.

    So definitely the centipede.

    source
    • pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Iirc he killed himself because he had an aggressive form of dementia and didn’t want to live like that.

      source
    • Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes, I started thinking in that direction as well, but then I thought about how the centipedes did the millions of existence and now can rest.

    I was hoping one of them would be Steve Irwin… 🙁

    source
    • psvrh@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Steve Irwin would want anomalocaris

      source
  • Zagorath@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Gonna be honest, I only vaguely recognise the name Patrick Swayze without knowing exactly what he’s famous for. An actor, I think? And I have zero idea who Paul Walker is. Anomalocarus I gather from context is an extinct animal of some sort, which is cool, but I lack the knowledge to know precisely why this specific species is highly valuable.

    So Robin Williams gets my vote almost by default, even if I didn’t have more reason to choose him beyond that.

      I admire your dedication to contribute something to the conversation while only knowing less than half the knowledge necessary one would guess necessary to have an opinion worthy of sharing.

      • dwindling7373@feddit.it ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        And yet he managed to stay more relevant to the discussion than you or me!

        source
  • InverseParallax@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Robin Williams had a degenerative nerve disease, bringing him back as he was would be cruel.

    Bringing him back healed, or young and healed? I’d let you hunt some species to extinction for that.

    The thing with Robin is that, regardless of his mental health, he would’ve been the type of person to curse the choice of bringing someone back to be wasted on him.

    While it is commonly believed he took his life due to a constant battle with depression, we do not know exactly what his resolve was, and bringing him back could be seen as hell in his eyes.

    source
    • Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It wasn’t depression. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.

      He allegedly took his life so he wouldn’t slowly lose himself, and become a burden on his family.

      source
      • EtherWhack@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Parkinson’s, actually. They corrected it to LBD during his autopsy.

        Apparently him and his wife weren’t satisfied with the Parkinson’s diagnosis as he had some abnormal psychological issues, so they decided to have some neurology tests scheduled. He unfortunately took his life before the appointment, so he never knew the real diagnosis.

    I normally don’t care when celebrities pass away. But I genuinely cried when Robin Williams died. And I’m still sad about it.

      I was on the set of Sea of Trees with Gus Van Sant when the news broke. Needless to say, we wrapped suddenly the moment the news broke that day.

      Same. It’s the only celebrity death that I’ve grieved so far.

  • Cano@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    No offence to Robin Williams, but I think having a living specimen of an ancient species who lived millions of years ago might help scientists advance evolutionary biology by a lot

    Or maybe not, but look at that little guy, he’s so cute :D

    source
    • Dagnet@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That specimen might also die really quickly considering it’s a whole different world, not even the atmosphere is similar, and without more of it’s species to multiply I would say it would be really cool to see but not super helpful to study
