Now we eat them on such a regular basis that if you're ever asking someone what eating something unknown is like, you'll often get "tastes kind of like chicken" as a reply.

And one day after that the dinosaurs will have their revenge when the mammals have burnt all their carcasses, causing so much CO2 pollution that the world climate changes so fast that it kills every living thing.

The end.

I mean, as an aside from the shitposting - climate change is unlikely to kill all life on earth. Or even all humans. Even if it goes catastrophically wrong, wrecking ecosystels and destroying cropland, there are 8 billion humans and we're quite hardy and ingenuitive. Even if 99.9% of humans died, there would still be 8 million humans left.

As for "all life on earth" - that is unlikely to the point of absurdity. There are bacteria that live in the deepest depths of the ocean, surviving off of the heat radiating from geothermal vents. Yes, the whales and the polar bears and the elephants might all die, and this would be terrible and tragic and an all around awful thing. But all life on earth...? Unlikely

Waiting for the “ackshually oil is plants” comment to come say it better and funnier than I can

Ackshually plants are coal. Oil is plankton and algae.

Well, not all dinosaurs. There were avian and non-avian dinisaurs, and the non-avian dinosaurs died out while the avian dinosaurs evolved into modern day birds.

That's a common misunderstanding: it's actually birbs that are not real.
