@ProfessorProteus @_haha_oh_wow_ Given that there’s a finite number of carbon atoms & water molecules etc on the planet (setting aside the stuff that arrives on meteorites etc), there’s no doubt that in your body, & almost certainly in the steak or salad or whatever you’re eating, there’ll be some molecules that were inside a few dinosaurs, & quite possibly passed through the guts of one & of various other animals too (from the Hadean to a few days ago) at some point.

@roguetrick @TheSlad I occasionally talk to groups kids or sometimes adults about dinosaurs. A lot of them are still surprised to learn that all birds actually are dinosaurs (descendants from the only lineage(s) that managed to survive the K-Pg extinction event).
Surprisingly (or perhaps not surprisingly) people’re often resistant to the idea that birds are dinosaurs, i.e. that not all dinosaurs died out. The fact that many were feathered is helping shift the paradigm
