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

Nah. I’ve seen those Flintstone documentaries. They had all the consumer mod cons.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

If they’re so great, how come I use their goo to spend 4 hours a day stuck in traffic?

That goo, once burned is what is causing global warming.
The dinosaur’s curse for not letting them rest in peace…
hansolo@lemmy.today 5 hours ago
The goo is trees that were buried before bacteria and fungi learned to eat hydrocarbons. 0% dinosaurs.

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

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?

Hegar@fedia.io 16 hours 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.

There are most 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.

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

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

Are sharks the best example?

No. Sharks are not dinosaurs.
