The satirical meme, which quickly gained over 8,000 likes and thousands of reposts, pokes fun at a real 2025 controversy over Biden's heavy use of the autopen device for signing executive orders, pardons, and more.

Trump pushed for a DOJ probe that was later dropped, while Biden insisted he approved every decision; the joke taps into ongoing partisan divides over his presidency.

Researchers at Eurac Research analyzed samples from Ötzi's skin, stomach, tissues, and surrounding water, uncovering three layers of microbes: ancient gut bacteria from his Copper Age life, cold-adapted yeasts from the glacier that show signs of slow growth even in museum storage at -6°C, and modern contaminants. These yeasts, like Glaciozyma watsonii, were cultured in the lab, revealing Ötzi as a dynamic ecosystem rather than a static relic. The findings, published June 3 in Microbiome, could aid ancient health research, cold-tolerant biotech, and better mummy preservation at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Ötzi the Iceman, frozen for over 5,000 years, still hosts a thriving microbial world on his skin and inside his body. Scientists cultured some of these ancient yeasts and even baked tasty sourdough bread with them.

Responders highlighted indigeneity as mixing history, self-identification, and politics over mere time, with one quipping the real cutoff is 'vibes, not dates.'
