I met a traveller from an antique epoch,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of fossilized bones
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered skull lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its evolution well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The claw that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the footprint, these ideas appear:
My name is Tyrannosaurus , King of Kings;
Look on my skeleton, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away. - Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 4 days ago:

Ooo! That last one has long fascinated me. It’s a Siphonophore called Praya Dubia. They can get as long as 160 feet long!

giphy.com and yarn.com have been doing that to me on occasion. I’ve started making habit of downloading GIFs and re-uploading, but forgot. I just fixed the post.
- Comment on Don't look up 1 week ago:
Thank you for that. That is very kind. I appreciate you as well.

Without my adding any commentary to this, it’s hard to deduce my intent. That is my bad.
The title of “Don’t Look Up” is referencing the movie by that title, which is a cheeky reference to climate change, which was my intent.
And I’m like you said: still processing recent events.

I’ve known about Chauvet cave for years, and I’m still in awe every time I see a picture of it. To think most images in this cave are around 35,000 years old. Human history (written history) is maybe 6,000 years old. This is more than 5 times older than that. Humans existed, and were creating things like this, for 30,000 years before the written word.
Pablo Picasso visited the Lascaux Cave (also in France, but much younger), and said the following:
“We have learned nothing in twelve thousand years.”

Look for a documentary called “Cave Of Forgotten Dreams” by Werner Herzog, about this cave.

And then he got eaten by his own dinosaurs. Kind of poetic. They missed that in the movie.

I see. Thank you you for that explanation. I was letting inference do some heavy lifting. (and yes, I’m not a great communicator)

If birds are dinos, then dinos are reptiles
I’m not sure what is structurally wrong with that statement. Birds are dinosaurs (most people know this by now). Using the exact same logic, dinosaurs are reptiles as well.
