But we would die out the same exact way as the retarded mega reptiles did 64 million years ago if a large asteroid came hurling at the planet right nowWhat can we do to fix this?
dinosaurs weren't reptiles, the k-pg extinction event was 66 mya, not 64, and it didn't kill off the dinosaurs either. avian dinosaurs survived and still do, but several other kinds of non-avian dinos survived for millions of years afterwords too
>>534336983>dinosaurs weren't reptiles
>>534336983This is supposed to make me feel better?
>>534337038the "dinosaurs werent reptiles" crowd remind me a lot of bicyclists that dress up like lance armstrong or some shit
>>534337144why would i ever want to make you feel better?
>>534337174why do you think they were reptiles?

Look up NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test millsion.
>>534337038Yeah that's the thing isn't it. They say that birds evolved from dinosaurs but then that sort of defeats the entire global mass extinction event narrative. I guess there must have been some sort of evolutionary pressure to spawn an entire family avian birds from cold blooded reptiles which would have taken X millions of years according to evolutionary theory but also this pressure both killed and did not kill all dinosaurs and cold blooded reptiles. So some dinosaurs must have survived, but also there are no extant species of small dinosaurs or their descendants either, but there are for other reptiles. The dinosaurs just all decided to become birds. Maybe I'm getting it wrong but it sounds fucking retarded.
>>534336839>muh dinosaurs>muh asteroidsyou are better off worrying about the price of oil
>>534337680Animals don't "decide" to evolve, you fucking moron, at least not in any meaningful way.Millions of years is enough time for small differences in the population to blow up into significant changes throughout the entire species because there are thousands and thousands of small generational changes, some of which have profound effects on the species as a whole due to the outsized success of a subgroup causing specific traits to persist rather than being eliminated.
HUMANS
>>534337680Dinosaurs weren't coldblooded either. They were endotherms. We got coldblooded because we thought they were lizards. But they were not.
>>534337994The algae that died to make the oil is also at stake
>>534337680All the reptiles that survived were either:>Small and able to live on limited resources (smaller than even the most small dinosaurs)>Able to fly>Able to hibernate for long periods when food was scarceBirds diverged from the rest of the clade before the extinction event.
>>534336839No we wouldn't. You're a retard. We build things. Dinosaurs didn't.
>>534338453Can we build a better Australia then?
>>534337174Kek>>534338358But I thought the entire extinction was due to impact debris and dust clouding out the sun, with inability to regulate body temperature being one of the biggest factors. So what are they saying now, there was a mass die off of plant life cascading up the chain and that was solely it?
>>534338708There were impacts all up and down the food chain. It's thought maybe that only things that fed on dead tissue and things that fed on those things survived.
>>534336983>dinosaurs weren't reptilesUmm ackshually, they are, and birds are classed as reptiles so uhm....
