There were no monkeys when dinosaurs existed, also more time elapsed between the stegosaurus in the back existing and the t rex and triceratops than between them and us.

[–] padjakkels@lemmy.world 34 points 7 months ago

You don't know!! You were not there!!!

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago

Doesn't mean they weren't checking their security system video feed every few million years. Monkeys spotted, time to head home!

And throughout it all...sharks.

Stegosaurs = ~150 million years ago

Sharks = ~450 million years ago

Yeah, well try launching a ship full of water into orbit and see how far you get. The sea life is doomed to never explore space.

It’s kinda hard to explain, but we’ve dug up almost all of your ancestors’ bodies and put them on display. Ooh, and the kids love it.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

we desecrated the bodies of billions of them to create disposable containers and fuel their delivery.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

We don't make fuel or plastics from dinosaurs. We make fuel and plastics from ancient plankton and algae.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

I'm not sure they're really bodies anymore

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's not all we did with the bodies...

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Nah we touched all of it. All of it.

What is this from and what's the context?

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In any case, here's your banana.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 8 points 7 months ago

ooh banana! TY!

The TV series Earth: Final Conflict, made by Gene Roddenberry, had a story based on this premise:-).

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Star Trek Voyager did too.

They ran across a race of super-advanced aliens in the Delta Quadrant that were evolved from dinosaurs.

Iirc it was a meteor that carried earth stuff. Aka jizz missile.

*Wait mine is Space above and beyond.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is an episode of Rick and Morty.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I don't think I ever finished that show. I need to give it a revisit.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You maniacs!
