As far as I can tell they still do.

We’re certainly governed by them.

Yeah, I wish I didn’t believe in Donald Trump… He’s all too real.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Dinosaurs and Unix systems coexisted, I saw it in a documentary.
frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Coincidentally, 41% is also approximately Trump’s approval rating.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Jesus Christ, how is it so high?
40% approve, 56% disapprove.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe a whole lot of Americans believe this. But that’s a big number backed up by “they say”
bulwark@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I doubt it’s that high. They surveyed 1000 people over a decade ago to extrapolate that:
The poll surveyed 1000 adult Americans between June 15 and June 17, 2015, apparently on-line; the margin of error reported was plus/minus 4.4%. Further details of the polling methodology are not readily apparent.

All I have to do is turn on their national news program to gauge just how dumb America is.
This is probably the reason why we haven’t had any alien contact from outer space. Aliens tune into our news networks, see just how stupid we are, especially Americans who are supposedly the wealthiest country and aliens just cringe, turn off the channel, place an intergalactic sign post just outside the orbit of Neptune warning everyone to stay away.

Demographically, YouGov noted, “While most Americans who describe themselves as ‘born again’ (56%) believe that humans and dinosaurs once shared the planet, most Americans who do not describe themselves as born again (51%) think that they did not.”
This does not add up…
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Its one of those articles where you have stats that give you strokes.
I think it means 56% of born agains, and 51% of born onetimes
NovaSel@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I mean…technically they did, and still do, since birds are technically dinosaurs, but context clued tell me that the people being talked about here didn’t have that in mind when answering the survey
aviationeast@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Do crocodiles not count?
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 10 months ago
no. they aren’t dinosaurs, as they branched out before.
however, all birds are descendants of dinosaurs, so humans did (and still do) live with dinosaurs
icelimit@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
I’ve ridden an ostrich before.
I’m a Dino rider!

Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well, about as many believed it was a good idea to vote for Trump, so it’s not surprising. Or just look how many believe Fox “News” is a reputable source of information…
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 months ago
“Humans and dinosaurs living together” is a popular trope in entertainment. Surprise, surprise - repeatedly exposing people to this anachronism will lead people to believe the thing.
By comparison, a mere 6% of Americans doubt the Moon landing happened. When we’re constantly including Americans-visiting-the-moon tropes in our historical dramas and near future fictions, people get the answer correct far more often than not.
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Fun fact: T-Rex didn’t coexist with Stegasaurus. Movies lump all dinosaurs together like they all lived at the same time but they really didn’t. Many species came and went over the millions of years dinosaurs lived
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And the Brontosaurus isn’t real. It’s just an Apatosaurus with the wrong head.

WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 10 months ago
How does this fit with the whole believing in God thing?
DagwoodIII@piefed.social 10 months ago
“Young Earth” Christians believe every word in the Bible is true. According to their calculations the Earth can’t be more than 6,000 years old. The idea that there was anything before that is anathema.
FerretyFever0@fedia.io 10 months ago
Dinosaurs were made up by the deepstate, obviously?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Doesn’t this imply the 41% are atheists?

Father Stickyfingers told me not to ask those questions.

They are extinct because they couldn’t fit on the ark

I.e. 41% of Americans are completely useless and unqualified in the discourse about our society.

they aren’t dinosaurs, however, birds exist so yes

Akshually, modern birds are descended from dinosaurs, effectively making them dinosaurs themselves. So humans did, and still do, live with dinosaurs.
Rhaedas@fedia.io 10 months ago
Little birds are so cute, until you watch them hunting for prey and imagine yourself at that scale.
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Watched a chicken jumpkick a rat and the rat bleed to death. We are lucky the world isn’t full of cassowary.
mienshao@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Preach! And it’s not even “effectively,” birds are dinosaurs—full stop. They are avian dinosaurs.

finally a version of this meme that makes proper sense, those two letters make all the difference
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I went to Australia and went with a tour group and the bus stopped. All of the cars were stopped on the road for some reason. The tour guide said “nobody get out of the vehicle!” Then I saw a velociraptor with a couple of baby velociraptors just walking down the side of the road.
I think they call them cassowaries, but if you see how they move, those things are goddamn velociraptors.
Dave@lemmy.nz 10 months ago
And only 41% believe it!
SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 10 months ago
Not only that, but some countries are fully governed by dinosaurs. Ask me how I know…
atomicorange@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I suspect many survey respondents were right for the wrong reason, or vice-versa. I have two dinosaurs in my house right now.

And once you’re done telling everyone a tomato is a fruit, the rest of us still aren’t going to put it in a fruit salad.
Don’t be pedantic, you know what they meant.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 10 months ago
being a fruit isn’t an indicator about what to do with it. are you putting cucumbers in fruit salads too?
god forbid you put a strawberry in the fruit salad, because that isn’t a fruit.
you’re the one being pedantic. birds are all dinosaurs, that is a scientific consensus.
that doesn’t mean that a pigeon will be the next monster in Jurassic world 8. but there are all dinosaurs.
same way humans are also primates and mammals and animals…
