if you google Chicxulub (the dinosaur killing space rock) a meteor will fly across your screen

  Google used to do these because they were cool.

  Now Google still does these because they want us to think they’re still cool.

    My wife. She’s a software developer. She also uses Chrome. I honestly don’t get it. The other day she Googled a particular hotel and the top results were websites pretending to be the hotel.

  We used to be able to get it to do other things

  “Barrel roll” would spin the page around and “Askew” would tilt the page

    Not used to, still works. I’m going to wash my hands now.

  Fun fact, most of what we know about the impact and the meteor comes from data found during Nuclear Weapons Testing. The energy needed for crystallization at impact sites gave us the data we needed to extrapolate for the force of impact at the crater, alongside other factors such as liquification of granite.

    Also fun fact: the ‘a meteor killed the dinosaurs’ is more or less universally accepted now, but younger folks might not realise it’s a pretty recent theory.

    It was first proposed in 1980, they found the likely impact site in 1991, and it was officially endorsed by an expert panel in 2010.

    I have books on my shelf from the 90s that say no one knows what killed the dinosaurs.

      In elementary school in the 90s I remember an exercise where we had to imagine what killed the dinosaurs. I came up with an implausible scenario of overpredation, and because I grew up in the south a classmate of mine said the Biblical flood killed them all and was praised by the teacher 🤷‍♂️

      I wonder when we’ll find out that flood basalts (the Deccan Traps, in this case) are the “exit wounds” of the meteor impacts?

      (That’s my hypothesis, anyway, but I don’t have the geology background to investigate it properly.)

      In a way, the demise of the dinosaurs is kind of like the fall of Rome (the 5th century one), in that the conditions created by the impact wiped out many of the dinosaurs, but birds survived and are only not considered (by some) to be dinosaurs because of our categorisation, in the same way that the fall of Rome which was completed by Germanic invaders left the Eastern Roman Empire to survive long after that, and despite denial from some, has direct descendance from the Roman Empire.

      TBF I could find a book from the last couple of years claiming the dinosaurs weren’t real.
