I don’t even have a thagomizer.
The planet still belongs to the dinosaurs.

If they’re so great, how come I use their goo to spend 4 hours a day stuck in traffic?
stoy@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
That goo, once burned is what is causing global warming.
The dinosaur’s curse for not letting them rest in peace…
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Man… Imagine how fucked we would be if we burned mummies!
hansolo@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
The goo is trees that were buried before bacteria and fungi learned to eat hydrocarbons. 0% dinosaurs.
A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Well… its mostly plant and fungus goo actually
Still.

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.

You do not have thagomizer.

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

I challenge any dino to a fighting duel and I’ll show you who’s superior. Oh wait, they all dead? That’s right bitch! They all dead. (banjo sounds during my mic drop pls)

The boy can’t spell “you’re”. We don’t need to challenge him on the content. Similarly, if the tenor can’t hold the first note, we don’t need to stay for the performance.

So “you’re” argument is that dinosaurs would win when it comes to a spelling contest? (it’s your)

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.

They didn’t have HVAC though?
Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Stegosaurus died out long before the K-T extinction event. They weren’t even good enough to survive to that point.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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?
RedFrank24@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not fair to the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs got hit by a meteor, humans are destroying themselves.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nah. I’ve seen those Flintstone documentaries. They had all the consumer mod cons.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The dinosaurs are doing quite well. Corvids in particular…

Beryl@jlai.lu 2 weeks ago
Stegosaurus really isn’t the best example of a long lasting clade of dinosaurs. These losers didn’t even make it to the Cretaceous !
echodot@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
Well, we have brains we can use to spot and destroy all redirect incoming asteroids. So yeah I am. Also stegosaurus was long extinct by the time of asteroid impact.

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?

Idk my ancestors survived the k-pg event
Hegar@fedia.io 3 weeks 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.
negativenull@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
There are most species of birds (dinosaurs) alive today than there are mammal species
10,000 vs 6,000 (ish)
tyler@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
The bird count is over 11k now! I think something like 11300ish. Let me look it up.
OK it’s 11250!
bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
All wild mammals combined are about 1/10th the biomass of humans.

DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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 to think about mortality.
My suggestion is to think about what you want to accomplish if you don’t have to think about survival.

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

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…
