Actually most experts no longer think the dinosaurs became extinct from a meteor hitting earth. That theory was based on a misunderstanding of the geological past. There's pretty much a consensus now that the mass extinction was caused by your mom sitting down.

The meteor didn't kill most of them.

Some were killed by the tsunamis it produced. Or shockwaves. But I don't think many were killed by the meteor itself.

Most were killed by the sand that kicked up in the atmosphere all over the world, then fell back down as a rain of glass.

The rest either succumbed to strict competition when the sky went dark and starved, or evolved into chickens.

Seriously guys, spend an afternoon with a backyard farmer and just watch their chickens. They are little cute dinosaurs. Watch them run together, or hunt in packs. Watch their little talons stretch out as they step...clearly Spieldberg's inspiration for the T-Rex footprint scene. Hell, if I'm a little late with breakfast, they'll surround me and start pecking at me! Like I'm the food!

Okay but if you get hit and die from the shrapnel of a grenade, I won't say that you died of blood loss, or from shrapnel, but not from the grenade directly. I will just say "killed by a grenade"

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

Sure. You would say that. What would the coroner say?

It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. 🎶

I’ll take shit that messed me up as a teenager for 500, Alex.

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

What is this from? And…what is happening?

[-] Shorn@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Neon Genesis Evangelion, and they are turning into primordial ooze I think.

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Wow I don’t remember this at all. It’s been too long.

[-] Shorn@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I’m pretty sure these scenes are from the “alternate ending” movie.

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Hey, where’d you find that photo? That’s crazy-interesting composition

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

A3 Comet?

Buuuut is that the sun off to the left, pre-setting? :O

[-] br3d@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I'm guessing that's Venus

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah, it was. I’m astonished at how much light the photographer was able to capture.

[-] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Is that reflection on the water from Venus? I've never seen anything like that!

[-] four@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

It's kinda suspicious. You would expect that amount of light from a longer exposure time, but everything looks really sharp, including waves and the dinosaur, which I would expect to move. But maybe I'm underestimating how much light a proper camera can capture
