People are so desperate to feel mentally superior that they’ll believe anything if it’s packaged with the bonus of “and everyone else is stupid.”
@matmatmatty
That fossil stuff was so funny. "The average Joe has never found a dinosaur bone" a literal CHILD found a whole ass skull not too far from me a few weeks ago, please read a book
@Gossamaggs
Squirrels aren't real because I'm not constantly finding squirrel bones all over.
@hylvic6707
"If there were dinosaurs why aren't there bones everywhere" followed immediately by "bones can completely decay in 30 years" with no mental connection between those statements is CRAZY
@EgorHehe
The reason she said "wi-fi" when she talked about the undersea cables is because in some (not very tech-savvy) people's mind "wi-fi" is the exact same thing as "internet". She just thinks these words are synonymous.
@mothmanwantssoup1010
So she thinks dinosaurs aren’t real because their bones aren’t constantly being found, but she also thinks that finding their bones is fake because bones decay. Pick a lane. You can’t have both.

“If we’ve never been to the bottom of the ocean…the explain the internet?🤨” new fav statemnet ever uttered😭

For a person that’s afraid of the government tracking them through location services, she sure does show a lot of the inside of her house and car

"How do people have a somewhat accurate rendition of the world" As if a cartographer hasn't been one of the most highly respected and needed job in human history

Love that she specifies that she doesn’t trust the government and then proceeds to use a government website at 14:26 as part of proving her point
@luthebong
My grandma used to say “the dumbest people are always the most confident” and I just feel this applies here.
@Rictavio27
The fact that she didn’t understand that globes and other round depictions of the earth existed for hundreds if not thousands of years before space travel is both hilarious and concerning
@fernfossils
as a paleontology nerd, the dinosaur bones point made me so sad 😭 fossilization only occurs under very specific circumstances, and only occur in specific rock types and a specific age. to an untrained eye, fossils can just look like weird rocks
@analyticsystem4094
The photoshop contest image is a great example of why context is so important in the world of archeology/paleontology. Where archeological finds are found is very important to figuring out what it was/used for.
@breademojiwheatemoji4003
i’ve gone through psychosis and these people sound worryingly close to how i sounded in psychosis, especially the language of ‘they’. i remember one day where i didn’t eat or drink anything because ‘they’ had put trackers in my food and would kill me if they were able to track me. there were no specifics as to who ‘they’ were, just like with a lot of these people. so yeah. it’s funny because it’s so ridiculous but it’s deeply, deeply worrying as well
@dani.5087
The rate at which bones decay is actually a HUGE point of frustration for paleontologists because it means we have very very little material from dinosaurs that lived in, for example, mountainous environments--there's not much sediment deposition in those places, much less to the degree required for fossilization, so there are entire gaps in the fossil record that are just genuinely impossible to know. A dinosaur that died out in the open would be gone within decades--but a dinosaur that was immediately buried in a shallow ashy lake would be preserved down to the last feather.
@kimberlylockwood3588
Bones are very fussy about fossilisation, it is an extremely unlikely event so the fact that we have so many specimens means there were HEAPS of dinos.
@farter4life
"if dinosaurs existed wouldn't their remains be everywhere" how can you not realize how unlikely preservation of remains would be in such a humid environment??? Despite that, we still have an abundance of their remains simply because of how many there were.
