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

I’ve seen enough Jurassic Park franchise movies to know that at least some dinosaurs had bills.

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

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.

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.

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

Stegosaurus died out long before the K-T extinction event. They weren’t even good enough to survive to that point.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
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?
Zink@programming.dev 4 hours ago
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?

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?

Hegar@fedia.io 23 hours ago
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 most species of birds (dinosaurs) alive today than there are mammal species

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