OREO built an asteroid-proof Oreo bunker in the Arctic

Personally, I just want to know how much it costs to build a bunker in Svalbard, and how much R&D and invest the company made into this allegedly apocalypse-proof bunker just for the sake of a PR stunt.

You do realize that this is just a plasterboard frame plopped onto the tundra, right? or are you playing along with this actually rather well done satire…

Horrible security breach. By divulging the precise coordinates the aliens can now simply re-target the asteroid to that point. Unless… the coordinates are really those for the Keebler vault!

Well played, Oreo. Well played.

DNA in the seeds doesn’t have a very long shelf life and will be unusable.
Much better to just sequence the DNA and store it digitally, then in the future should we need it, we can clone it.

Seeds can sprout after being dormant for centuries if not millenia, and if you know how to generate a tree from a digital file I would love to hear it – that would be the most incredible biological breakthrough in human history by far

You can get a very similar appearance with poured concrete; the real seed vault sure isn’t plywood but from a distance the rectangular lines left by the forms the concrete was poured into might be mistaken for painted board.

Oh, yes, of course. It’s how poured concrete finishing/surface effects can be achieved, and often not by design. Some brutalist architects took advantage of this method. Some modern minimalist interiors, too.

But in Oreo’s case I suspect no concrete was poured.

Svalbard … Oreos … ? Clearly, this is just an elaborate scheme to catch children and sever them from their souls.

There are facilities that rent out space. Im sure this is one closet in a real larger vault company.
