  • Every movie kinda reconned the previous one in terms of lifecycle, so it depends on which one you decide is valid.

    The first one, the eggs are just kinda there, and the alien doesn’t have a clear lifecycle aside from egg -> facehugger -> pupa -> alien. There’s no info past that.
    If you add the director’s cut in, then it adds that the humans the alien caught get turned into eggs to finish the lifecycle. So it’s kinda asexual reproduction? Not exactly clear.

    Aliens, they add a queen, so it’s implied that it’s kinda like an ant colony. Except the queen lays eggs that spawn facehuggers that plant the pupa into an organism.

    Aliens3 makes it more clear that the facehuggers spawn aliens in the form of the organism it was implanted in. Which is how we got the dog alien, etc.

    Past that, it’s all over the place. Especially when you introduce the black goo and whatever the hell Prometheus decided.

















  • Almost anything can be consumed “raw” if the entire handling chain is working 100%. The reality is - even without capitalism - germs can spread pretty easily, people can make mistakes, and contamination is inevitable. Once you add capitalist incentives to cut corners, go faster, and produce more… it’s a disaster waiting to happen. The more popular raw milk gets, the more dangerous it will be.

    The absolute safest way to drink raw milk is to pick it up directly from a farmer that you know, and that has a very low volume farm, and is very educated on the best handling and bottling processes. Again… the types of farmers that will be selling such a risky product aren’t the ones you want to be buying from.
