Of course there were no dinosaurs! Have you never even looked at the Chinese Zodiac? (lemmy.world)

I went to a psychic who unlocked a memory of me in a past life riding a dragon. There were no dinosaurs there. If that doesn't prove it then nothing will.

Give that woman 25k right now

[–] TexasDrunk 8 points 3 months ago

She told me that for 25k she could actually send me back in time but it'll be another 25k to bring me back with the proof. I'm starting a fundraiser and selling cookies to raise the money.

Take that, Flaunt Dribble!

Be open minded

But not about dinosaurs apparently...

If everything is a lie, isn't the Chinese zodiac also a lie?

[–] FlyingSquid 14 points 3 months ago

Oh you and your logic.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The Chinese zodiac doesn't have a cat, therefore cats don't exist.

Tiger says, "what?"

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 3 months ago

No kangaroos on it either.

Dragons, if you accept any quadruped lizard such as a gecko or a bearded lizard, or a komodo dragon, as a dragon, still exist.

Same with dinosaurs: Chickens 😎

wait isn’t there a chicken Chinese zodiac? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Hey, I was born in the Chicken year of the Chinese Zodiac.

From now on, if asked, I would say I was born in the year of the dinosaur instead.

I like the theory that ancient people found dinosaur bones somehow and just made up dragons based on what they saw.

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but it's also not hard to imagine them seeing that there were reptiles of multiple sizes and they got bigger and bigger (maybe even crocodiles via trade or just native).

"This, but huge" is a pretty easy path to folktales.

Slap some wings on em (or half of another creature? Or both!), baby you got a mythological creature goin

Be open minded

But as the famous Carl Sagan said, not so open that your brain falls out

If everything I am told is a lie then that would explain the hickey Suzanne Whester ended up with the very next day after she supposedly didn't even kiss Justin Sizemore.

I mean, Komodo Dragons exist.
