Yes, I do still browse reddit, mainly for hockey and some niche subs that aren't here yet. Once in a while I dip my toes into r/all to see the garbage that floats to the top and this one popped up today.

r/conspiracy has always been a shithole, but when I first saw this post I thought it was on a meme sub, but no, those morons actually believe this shit. Truly blows my mind how amazingly stupid a lot of people are.

If you feel like having some of your brain cells commit suicide you can read the comments here - https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1m6p3p6/octopuses_lived_before_dinosaurs_and_were/

If there's a better way to share a reddit post without giving them clicks let me know and I'll edit my link. I know I've seen it before but I don't remember what it was.

Small discussion about this fossil on Lemmy yesterday:

To recap: that's not the correct age or species. Soft tissues do make fossils. This protooctopus looks different from modern octopi.
