Dinosaurs were around before Saturn had rings.

Now THAT is a shower thought.
all the dino dust was ejected into space and settled around saturn
I have to know if this picture already existed or if you just made that because it's perfect
It's not mine (unfortunately). I don't have an original bone in my body. See these bones? They're actually someone else's.
Why are you using someone else's bones and why can I see your bones?!?!
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.
I don't know enough about planetary rings and dinosaurs to dispute it.
But what about Denim T-Rex?
Is dinosaur law just a precursor to bird law?
more of a TIL than a shower thought
doesn’t make me any less cool
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
So the dinosaurs all died of disappointment?
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
Dios mío, man.
