I have to know if this picture already existed or if you just made that because it's perfect

[-] fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

It's not mine (unfortunately). I don't have an original bone in my body. See these bones? They're actually someone else's.

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Why are you using someone else's bones and why can I see your bones?!?!

[-] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 months ago

Clearly you can see it's an old picture, from the ages when people actually drew/photoshopped new things, before memes were 100% made up of Drake and Wojak variations.

This is that Charlie Kelley kind of logic.

[-] AlbinoPython@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

I don't know enough about planetary rings and dinosaurs to dispute it.

[-] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

But what about Denim T-Rex?

[-] gerbler@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Is dinosaur law just a precursor to bird law?

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago

more of a TIL than a shower thought

doesn’t make me any less cool

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago

Interesting thought, but the rings may be older than that, and they may be reoccurring. That's just an estimate based on a range calculated in a recent study.

There's a lot more learning to do.

If they liked it, then they should have put a ring on it.

blows my mind every time I come across this trivia. thank you for sharing

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

So the dinosaurs all died of disappointment?

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Nah, most of them moved to Saturn after they got married.

What blows my mind even more is that, when dinosaurs existed*, the solar system was on the other side of our galaxy.

(*) Dinos were around for a really long time, so it was largely during the Cretaceous when the solar system was on the opposite side.

I also often calculate things like that in the shower
