Don’t worry mankind and animals are the next fuel for the future cars!

The ultimate fantasy of causing the extinction of a whole village by driving to work

Look I just learn stuff that college teaches me okay. So decaying trees, plants and animals (dinosaurs) are the primary source of oil. Oil is being made daily based on decaying organic material. This is why the planet has so much of it.

3

some of them likely did, given the current theory of how oil happens. dead organic material is dead organic material.

there's just more vegetation than animal matter.

What a poetry Mankind on a killing spree for oil ending up becoming the oil

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

That goo, once burned is what is causing global warming.

The dinosaur's curse for not letting them rest in peace....

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

Well, I mean, I can probably only guarantee no more than 3% dinosaur.

Whoa whoa, if my car is getting a larger percentage of incidental dinosaur from its refined petroleum products than the percentage of incidental spider legs and rat shit I myself am getting from my processed food products, I am going to be totally jealous.

I know! And you should be. Industrial standards in the Carboniferous Period were seriously lax. All the upper management and lawyers were trilobites!

Must be diesel. If you can get it to combust under high air pressure, a diesel will probably run off it.

I hope some future species burns our liquefied matrix black corpse goop, it's what we deserve.

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.

But sure, some bones on your ass I guess.

Exactly. Why live?

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)

Those lashes + whatever the fuck Disney and Looney Tunes were up to

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 parrot I asked insists she is still existing

Stegosaurus died out long before the K-T extinction event. They weren't even good enough to survive to that point.

lemmy.world

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?

10

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?

lemmy.world

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

14

people still think we’re invincible

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?

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

Well, we have brains we can use to spot and destroy or redirect incoming asteroids. So yeah I am. Also stegosaurus was long extinct by the time of asteroid impact.

Have you seen this DiCaprio movie where we all die ?

My brain cannot do that, I don't think I can even move a pencil with my brain. Should I go to the doctor?

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 more species of birds (dinosaurs) alive today than there are mammal species

10,000 vs 6,000 (ish)

The bird count is over 11k now! I think something like 11300ish. Let me look it up.

OK it’s 11250!

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

lemmy.world

Yeah we're a bit large but we're adaptive generalist omnivores. Add canned goods and it feels likely some people would make it

Humans are the toughest fucking animals this Earth has ever seen. Lemmings not so much.

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…

6

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 thinks about their mortality.

My suggestion is to think about what you want to accomplish if you don't have to think about survival.

Its coo coo crazy how much people here believes it here. This morning I saw a row of businesses, about 8 store fronts, was outside praying and burning "spirit money". Employees are forced to pray as well.

2

That's nuts, that's like one of those examples that's either "ppl coming together in a sense of community and bonding" or "being trapped in forced servitude to the societal expectations around you." Depends on the person experiencing it what it feels like ig. I never understood the forcing ppl to pray, like "you know that's not how that works, right?" Performative time wasters 😂

Souls aren't a thing and there is no reincarnation so you're fine.

One axiom of science always comes to mind when things like this get posted: matter cannot be destroyed, only rearranged

Idk about yall but I am better than a stegosauraus. Im social (allegedly), intelligent (allegedly), and my thagomizer is magnificent (undeniably)
