Bacterial endospores are the ultimate procrastinators of the microbial world! These hardy little survival capsules can remain dormant for THOUSANDS of years, just chilling until conditions are juuuust right. The person waiting patiently in different settings perfectly captures that "I can do this all day... or century" energy. While humans get impatient waiting for a pizza delivery, these bacterial rebels are like "Wake me up when nuclear radiation subsides or whatever." Some species have been revived from 250-million-year-old salt crystals. Talk about playing the long game!
