    If they're so great, how come I use their goo to spend 4 hours a day stuck in traffic?

    That goo, once burned is what is causing global warming.

    The dinosaur's curse for not letting them rest in peace....

    The goo is trees that were buried before bacteria and fungi learned to eat hydrocarbons. 0% dinosaurs.

    Well, I mean, I can probably only guarantee no more than 3% dinosaur.

    Whoa whoa, if my car is getting a larger percentage of incidental dinosaur from its refined petroleum products than the percentage of incidental spider legs and rat shit I myself am getting from my processed food products, I am going to be totally jealous.

    Birds when humans talk about dinosaurs going extinct like they just vanished: "Am I joke to you?!"

    plumage and pecking and pigeons and chicken tenders

    Humans: I mean... sometimes, yes.

    dinosaurs never became oil/coal

    Look I just learn stuff that college teaches me okay. So decaying trees, plants and animals (dinosaurs) are the primary source of oil. Oil is being made daily based on decaying organic material. This is why the planet has so much of it.

    Stegosaurus died out long before the K-T extinction event. They weren't even good enough to survive to that point.

    Yeah aren't they one of the few animals that was actually a dinosaur and actually from the jurassic that people think of when they think of jurassic dinosaurs?

    Do people ever actually think of the Jurassic period though, or do they just live in a society where Jurassic Park and Jurassic World have made that period's name synonymous with dinosaurs?

    not better than a stegosaurus

    By what metrics? I challenge any dinosaur from any species to a banjo duel and I'll show you all who's better.

    A stegosaurus cannot build microcontrollers, rocket engines or nuclear explosives. We can. But sure, some bones on your ass I guess.

    Not fair to the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs got hit by a meteor, humans are destroying themselves.

    Stegosaurus really isn't the best example of a long lasting clade of dinosaurs. These losers didn't even make it to the Cretaceous !

    people still think we’re invincible

    Who? The peons concerned about climate change and ecosystem collapse? Or the billionaires injecting kids’ blood into themselves, launching rockets to colonize Mars, or begging for donations to get them into the right afterlife?

    Except dinosaurs weren't taken out and some species like chickens probably have more biomass than ever.

    I think that's the more horrific scenario anyway - we cause a massive catastrophe but like the end of a slasher franchise, we're still around to do it all over again.

    There are more species of birds (dinosaurs) alive today than there are mammal species

    10,000 vs 6,000 (ish)

    Idk my ancestors survived the k-pg event

    What if I told you the dinos did not get taken out and are, in fact, flying above your head as we speak? The pigeons are waiting for you…

    Bruh, reading through this thread, I'm low-key having an existential crisis thinking about the timeline where that extinction event didn't happen. No humans, no tech, no video games.

    Dinosaurs rule forever?

    What if my soul got incarnated as a dinosaur, what is it like?

    Just chillin'?

    Idk

    Yo dog. I know it's 鬼月. This time of year, everyone in Taiwan thinks about their mortality.

    My suggestion is to think about what you want to accomplish if you don't have to think about survival.

    Its coo coo crazy how much people here believes it here. This morning I saw a row of businesses, about 8 store fronts, was outside praying and burning "spirit money". Employees are forced to pray as well.

    That's nuts, that's like one of those examples that's either "ppl coming together in a sense of community and bonding" or "being trapped in forced servitude to the societal expectations around you." Depends on the person experiencing it what it feels like ig. I never understood the forcing ppl to pray, like "you know that's not how that works, right?" Performative time wasters 😂

    But could the dinosaurs DO THIS? Straps myself to a rocket and blasts off the planet into space

    Many humans would absolutely survive an event like the K-T extinction, between technology and eating bugs and fungi. Many more would die though

    Yeah we're a bit large but we're adaptive generalist omnivores. Add canned goods and it feels likely some people would make it

    Well, we have brains we can use to spot and destroy or redirect incoming asteroids. So yeah I am. Also stegosaurus was long extinct by the time of asteroid impact.
