No energy products come from dinosaurs. Coal is from trees and oil is from plankton. Natural gas is a byproduct of oil.

Stop destroying the dream!!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago

No, can't be true. In Mrs. Doubtfire, it's explicitly said that crude oil is from the remainders of dinosaurs.

Wait, has school been lying ALL This time? What actually happens to bones?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Mostly they disintegrate. Some become fossils depending on how they died and the conditions surrounding their body.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, they just haven't been clarifying.

It was an early misunderstanding of tar pit and peat bog excavations as I understand it.

Schools should teach about the bone wars and how they set back set back research by hundreds of years and created dinosaur myths that persist to this day.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That sounds so bad ass. The bone wars, I would pay extra attention to that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Sounds like a full-length porno film to me.

Also birds are not the descendants of terrestrial dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs, but their ancestors were also birds.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you saying that theropods weren't terrestrial?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Just look at them, they are clearly extraterrestrial!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

They are.

The common ancestor of all dinosaurs was certainly terrestrial, so logically that means birds are the descendants of terrestrial dinosaurs. That was in the Trias. By the Jurassic, small tree-climbing theropods with feathers were gliding and soon starting to fly.

Oil is from plankton? Well, I learnt something today.

[edit] Is it because of the term fossil fuels and people go "wait, I've seen some fossils, OF DINOSAURS"

...who cooks nuggets in a pan???

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They’re extra crispy if you pan fry in a little oil.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I prefer the kind of crispyness that only a deepfrier can achieve. You know what I'm saying?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why not? You microwaving? Not a crispy enjoyer?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ever hear of frying, whether deep- or air-?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Of course. Did I say pan was the only way to get crispy?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, but you kind of implied it lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I did not. You assumed it.

I implied that microwaving makes them not crispy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Implied, GBU_28? Or implode?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

implied that microwaving makes them not crispy

In spite of nobody else mentioning microwaving.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

It is the primary way listed on the bag.

Edit and the way lazy or unskilled people make them. (And make them soggy)

Edit edit also doesn't change that u be here soomin

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[Microwaving] It is the primary way listed on the bag.

WTF is wrong with you people over there?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a food marketed to kids/teens. No surprise a shitty but easy cook method is first on the list.

Then oven and air fryer generally.

Also shall we discuss fridges or washing machines?

Just because it’s marketed to kids, that doesn’t mean they’re the ones cooking them. Or so I assumed. I don’t know much about the consumption patterns of dino nuggets, but I thought they’re cooked by parents for children.

Next stop might even be self awareness.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Fair enough. Didn't realize that the bag is an idiot 🤷 😁

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago

Crude is mostly prehistoric plants, not Dino

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

Also there are ultra-popular movies about you.

However they keep messing up how you look on purpose, because since they've learned more about you, they think all the made-up bullshit was cooler than the real you.

There are also shark shaped fish sticks....do you like fish sticks?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't care if I am eaten after I die. Go nuts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What kind of nut would you suggest baking with you? I'm thinking pecans.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I'm preferential to walnut

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Don't ask what's it like for our remains in the future.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

"What's a human?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I don't think bones alone count as a corpse, so the fossilized remains of bones definitely don't.
