It certainly is cool, I love it how this stuff pops up when things seem a little bleak.

How so? According to this article all previously recovered papyri have always confirmed what is written in the New Testament.
Unless of course you're just commenting on things in general, in which case just ignore me :wave:
How do these manuscripts change what we believe the original New Testament to say? We will have to wait until they are published next year, but for now we can most likely say this: As with all the previously published New Testament papyri (127 of them, published in the last 116 years), not a single new reading has commended itself as authentic. Instead, the papyri function to confirm what New Testament scholars have already thought was the original wording or, in some cases, to confirm an alternate reading—but one that is already found in the manuscripts.
