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

I don’t even have a thagomizer.
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....
Man... Imagine how fucked we would be if we burned mummies!
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.

Your car runs on algae?

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.
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)

Why do I feel some kinda way about that sexy ass bird?
Those lashes + whatever the fuck Disney and Looney Tunes were up to
Beastiality?
It's spelled "bestiality", because it's the best
They're called secretary birds.

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
They didn’t have HVAC though?
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?

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

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

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?
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.

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!

Idk my ancestors survived the k-pg event
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…
But could the dinosaurs DO THIS? Straps myself to a rocket and blasts off the planet into space

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
Sorry I can’t come in to work today I have to molt

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