Additionally, the batter is made up of their eggs.

I mean, it's not just dino corpses. We also use an incredible amount of dead forests as fuel. We really showed nature who's the boss, huh?

In think nature is warming up a big dish of karma.

Fun fact: Oil mostly comes from the a mass extinction event involving cyanobacteria, not dinosaurs. We just can't stop calling them fossil fuels.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

… are they not fossils of the cyanobacteria

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Not by the usual definition. The carbon, etc that used to form the cyanobacteria is completely broken down and formed into miscellaneous hydrocarbons. There's no petrified remains, nor rock impressions of the bacteria.

But aren't their atoms perfectly preserved? (gasping at straws)

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Not all of them. Some of the carbon atoms will have decayed into (I think) nitrogen.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

FWIW that was always my concept of fossil fuels to begin with.

Like whatever you just said, but for dinosaurs and all the life from before.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

dinosaurs are a basically insignificant % of the biomass by my understanding

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago

I mean, it’s not our fault nature is so flammable

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It was way, way, way before dinosaurs. Actually dinosaur remains are a poor combustible (whereas mummies, on the other hand...).

You cook dino nuggies in a pan?

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So vegetarians who use solar power are really helping human-dino relations

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I dont know, hopefully
i eat veggy dino nuggies
so i still might scare them

This is our vengeance for them causing global warming.

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does the Dino ask "What's a Human?"

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Not after that anymore.
