“Scientists found these creatures couldn’t survive speeds above 2,000 mph when shot out of a gun”

What kind of “Science” is this?

Medical “scientists” who are so-called “doctors” now cut off the genitals of teenagers, in order to “find” if the remaining assembly is a “man” or a “woman.”

In some areas of the U.S.A., “progressives” call that “love.”

I call it a crime against humanity.

OK, if you dip your bullets and bacon or pork, will it still retain some at the same speed?

Don't know from tardigrades, but here is a 'tard' that many Canadians wouldn't mind seeing "shot out of a gun at more than 2,000 mph to see if the critter could survive".

Not that I would ever wish this upon the Crime Minister of Canaduh, but some Canadians might.

“The critters can withstand temperatures between minus 328 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 200 degrees Celsius) and 304 degrees Fahrenheit (151 degrees Celsius) and pressure up to six times that of the deepest part of Earth’s oceans.

“They’re able to survive lethal radiation and temperatures because water bears, like their namesake, can enter a state of hibernation. Tardigrades can go without water and oxygen for long periods of time in a state of suspended animation called cryptobiosis, in which their bodies dry up and their metabolisms shut down. Place a dehydrated, hibernating tardigrade in water, and it regains its full function in a matter of hours.”

Any creature can survive 2,000 mph. It’s the acceleration getting to or from 2,000 mph that can cause difficulties.

Plus, the jerk.
