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.

Silly what?

Tja. Kann nicht klagen.

Pretty sure 250mya is before dinosaurs. According to the dates given by Wikipedia, Stegosaurus is 145-155 myo

And thus began the drought that wiped out 95% of terrestrial species. The other 5% learned to like salt water.

Yeah, if you’re gonna steal chocolate, at least steal nice chocolate

Bouba and blouba

I don’t drink tea (or at least only very rarely) but being able to make it is an essential skill.

Having moved from a tea-saying region of England to Northern Ireland, I haven’t heard anyone say “tea” around here for an evening meal

I suppose that solves the mane issue, but it wouldn’t behoof them to help

Silence bootlicker. How can it not be targeted at Ukraine when Ukraine was burdened with much higher grain quotas than they could sustainably meet? It’s absolutely disgusting that you would say it’s Nazi propaganda to call out a policy that led to the deaths of millions of people. And if you think this is some bias against communism, then you should know my opinion is the same about the Irish potato famine, which was instrumentalised as part of Britain’s genocide of Ireland. Just because the UK didn’t create the potato blight which was necessary for the potato famine doesn’t mean it didn’t capitalise on it to further its own imperialist ends. In the same way, even if the government of the USSR didn’t set out to cause a famine in Ukraine, it certainly did what it could to weaponise it.

Inperialism is as imperialism does, no matter what political ideology it wraps itself up in.

No one was starving

I suppose the deliberate starvation of millions of Ukrainians was just Western propaganda?

I thought this was about the grass until I actually looked at the dinosaurs in the picture

It’s always the people with all the dough doing whatever they want. It’s a kneedless display of flour.

Not so far off. Jupiter = Ju (sky) + piter (father)
