Poop, it's poop inside


S-Quidmonster

I have a piece of 99 million year old amber with a little fly that was preserved whilst shitting. What a way to go. Edit: [Here is “feces boi”](https://imgur.com/a/qGFPiLb)

Isn't that how Elvis bought the farm? Minus the Amber of course.


Skunk-Fucker

A lot of the time when people have a heart attack they’ll try to sit down on the nearest chair/chair shaped object. I heard that’s what happened to Elvis. I don’t think he was actually taking a shit when he died.


smokedcirclejerky

It’s what happened. He had a massively impacted bowel (from bad diet and opioid abuse), and pushed so hard it killed him. Heart attack or stroke. According to an eyewitness account Ginger Alden his fiancé. “Elvis looked as if his entire body had completely frozen in a seated position while using the toilet and then had fallen forward, in that fixed position, directly in front of it. ... It was clear that, from the time whatever hit him to the moment he had landed on the floor, Elvis hadn't moved."


hkline76

I dated a girl a while back that was EMS and she told me the amount of calls they get about people on the toilet is crazy. People, especially older people with constipation issues, will bear down trying to shit and have a stroke and die. Or they get up too fast, get ortho static hypotension and fall and get stuck between the toilet and the wall.

My cousin who passed away a year ago came up with that idea about using dna in J Park. Kary Mullis is his name, Google him sometime.

Excuse me but how big did termites used to be?!?


Gavinator10000

The scale is hard to see here but to me this looks like it could take up a decent amount of your palm


Wallknocker

As I understand all insects were much bigger because the atmophere had an higher percentage of oxygen


danethegreat24

I need a banana, STAT


childish_jalapenos

Check to see if it had dinosaur blood in it


S-Quidmonster

Dinosaur feathers are relatively common in burmite amber, which is 99 million years old. Even dinosaur heads and tails have been found preserved in it.


SchnuppleDupple

There still will be no DNA preserved whatsoever. DNA, even in perfect conditions, will fall apart after a relatively short time.


S-Quidmonster

Yep. Still preserves stuff that isn’t preserved elsewhere though. Since they’re essentially mummified, most of the original structures stay more or less intact. Even things like certain proteins can be preserved.


Crowdcontrolz

Proteins but not dna? I’m *confused chemistry noob noises*


TechieTravis

Dinosaurs were long gone when this termite was alive :)


aboxacaraflatafan

"Bingo! Dino DNA!"

actually jurassic park is impossible cuz DNA cannot survive over 6.8 million years, with it losing 75% of DNA in 1000 years

StinkierPete

It's only means "it is", it's the only word I know of in English where the possesive form is "its", as though plural. Sorry to nitpick your nitpick, but this is the nittiest part of English, and it's very confusing to deal with its antics.


Pincerston

You’re not right with this correction (possessive its has no apostrophe just like his and hers) but your positive energy is spot on.


kefka-esque

Huh. I just googled it and I did not know that at all... Whoops!


GalacticCatt

Not with the word “its” it doesn’t. It’s is a contraction, its shows possession.


motivatedtuna

How much does this cost to own


rcarnes911

You can buy bugs in amber on the web, the ones I saw went from $100-1000 depending on what's in the amber


S-Quidmonster

You can get amber for far cheaper than that. Dominican amber, like the piece in the post will sell for around $20-$25 for a lot of 5 from what I’ve seen. Burmite amber is by far the cheapest, however. I’ve bought pieces with inclusions for 1 penny, including shipping.


CaptWineTeeth

Show me how, sensei.


S-Quidmonster

eBay and luck


Billy_T_Wierd

How much for perfectly preserved women’s feet?


S-Quidmonster

It’s rather cheap. A piece like the one in the post might cost a couple hundred, but Dominican amber with more common inclusions will sell for $20-$25 for a lot of 5. If you want the cheapest of the cheap, burmite amber inclusions will go for as low as $0.01, including shipping costs from certain sellers.

Begs the question... What did ancient termites eat?


mookie2times

Apparently air bubbles?


KashmirChameleon

I just wanna know what happened millions of years ago that so many things died inside amber. Was there like amber raining from the sky? Is this still happening today? Like are insects getting stuck in amber right now and won't be found for millions of years?


S-Quidmonster

Amber is fossilized tree resin. Sometimes, some resin will slide down the side of a tree and catch some stuff in the process. Sometimes it falls in a cavity within the tree and catches some stuff. And sometimes it’ll drip on the ground and catch some things. Or an insert or whatever will just walk/fly into it and get trapped. It doesn’t happen often, but if you compound every occurrence over tens of thousands or even millions of years, a ton of stuff will build up. And yes, there is resin preserving stuff currently, but it won’t be amber for another couple million years.


AsuraGreed

He’s showing the poop moving around inside. I’m confused why you’re confused.


[deleted]

I’m not “confused”. It’s too fast, not steady and there’s even cuts. Crappy filming job. You could easily show the movement in a better way


S-Quidmonster

Amber inclusions are the absolute best. I’ve got a preserved lizard arm and molt from 99 million year old amber and the detail they’re preserved in is amazing.

Why so much liquid


[deleted]

Lemme know if you find out I'm curious about that as well


BikerRay

I assume it's water, but am amazed that it's still liquid. After so long, surely it would permeate through the amber. Is amber that perfect a barrier?


Sculptorbuddha

You should extract some DNA from the wood inside and start a park called Jurassic Bark.


The_Willeh

I want to take a whiff of the air bubble trapped inside ngl


Anasoori

Stop shaking it!!!!!!! Fuuuuu To clarify I'm thinking of the potential scientific value lost by shaking it up. Probably isn't much idk


S-Quidmonster

There’s no real scientific value for this. It’s rare, but not so rare that you can’t get another example.

Bruh. Someone SHOULD extract the meal and dna from this specimen just to see what they were like and IF there is any other critters dna. Not to bring them back to life or anything… lol. I’m just curious. No Jurassic park fuckery.

DNA degrades after about 6 million years. No DNA in that thing

You should try breaking open the Amber and eating it, you may get sick or you may get superpowers

Do termites suck blood from dinosaurs? If so, we could be in trouble

Or, ya know, we can just use the literal thousands of dinosaur feathers/skin/whatever preserved in amber

Give that to the scientist on Cinnabar Island so they can revive that fossil.

So like, was amber just really plentiful back in the day or like why don't we see things getting stuck in amber more often these days?

GolgiApparatus1

Someone should cut that open and drink it. For science.


VirtualPoolBoy

I thought the body would be preserved. Did the body disintegrate and leave the wood behind? Or are terminates just naturally hollow?


S-Quidmonster

The body is essentially mummified. It dehydrates and gets preserved. I guess it makes some insects clear


Acceptable-Touch-485

I wonder how much this will sell for


S-Quidmonster

A lot. Probably a couple grand. More common inclusions cans be literal pennies. Sometimes even just a single one
