I’m so mad that a t4 bacteriophage actually looks like that and that it’s appearance isn’t made up
this is how they look in all the models
this is how they actually look
like they really fucking look like that. in real life
viruses are literally such bullshit they have the nerve to look like this and they aren’t even ALIVE
I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE SHITTY AND ARBITRARY DEFINITION OF LIFE THAT MAKES VIRUSES NOT ALIVE. FUCK YOU THEY ARE ALIVE
Things are heating up in the virus fandom
I have been to multiple astrobiology conferences where the topic of “are viruses alive?” is explicitly banned from formal discussion sessions, because once it’s been raised, even as a joke, a heated argument immediately breaks out and it is impossible to discuss anything else.
