In the Netflix show “Love, Death, and Robots” there is an episode where a lab makes a sentient hivemind microbe colony and it lives in a bowl of yogurt.

The US ends up exchanging the entirety of Ohio for a plan on how to solve most economic and societal problems. The US dosent listen to it and shit gets worse, the yogurt then builds a starfleet and fucks off.

The show itself is a bunch of sci-fi short films all done by different studios, “Zima Blue” is fantastic and my favorite is “Night of the mini-dead”.
