[u/LoGiCaL__]

Completely abandons her train of thought about actual evidence with the bones and then proceeds to highlight “nerds” making up a fantasy world.

The only fantasy here is that she should be taken seriously.

[u/thegtabmx → u/LoGiCaL__]

Yep, it's like, ok, ignore for a second their skin and their sound. What about the fucking bones‽ Are we discounting the fucking bones because there's supposed debate about what skin and sound the thing had‽

[u/plinkoplonka → u/thegtabmx]

Some people never learn critical thinking.

Some never graduate high school.

That's just how it is.

[u/cruiserflyer → u/plinkoplonka]

And then go on to Congress.

[u/ithinkB4ipeak → u/cruiserflyer]

And stay there till they're dinosaurs.

[u/GuardianFerret → u/ithinkB4ipeak]

Which don't exist.

[u/bains220 → u/GuardianFerret]

Supposably.

[u/LoGiCaL__ → u/thegtabmx]

I’d be willing to bet she’s one of the many flat earthers all around the world.

[u/Vaux1916 → u/LoGiCaL__]

all around the world.

I see what you did there.

[u/civicSi92 → u/LoGiCaL__]

I'd lean more to creationist butter flat earther doesn't seem for fetched either I suppose.

[u/Forgets_Everything → u/civicSi92]

I have no basis for this, but I assume those two groups have a significant overlap

[u/Kindly-Sort-8574 → u/civicSi92]

In my experience, flat Earthers tend to be creationists too.

[u/Skinnwork → u/thegtabmx]

You can't ignore the skin though. The Royal Tyrell Museum has a complete mummified Ankylosaurus.

[u/SnooBananas3995 → u/LoGiCaL__]

Did she actually use the word nerds? I refuse to listen to her myself

[u/Neehigh → u/SnooBananas3995]

Oh, so you know who she is? I assumed she was the sister of somebody famous, who brought their idiot sister onto their podcast to be an idiot

[u/Western_Ad3625 → u/SnooBananas3995]

Yeah she said like so you've got these bones, supposedly, and then a bunch of nerds make up a fantasy world that they think seems cool. That's that was her whole point... She also put a lot of emphasis on the word nerds.

[u/CrazyBarks94 → u/Western_Ad3625]

She said 'supposably' instead of supposedly, which is one of my biggest language pet peeves.

[u/indifferentCajun → u/LoGiCaL__]

It's those people that confuse "I don't know this" with "this is not known." They are literally incapable of conceptualizing knowledge beyond their own.

[u/dr3am_assassin]

Anything she doesn’t know = never existed

[u/jwrosenfeld → u/dr3am_assassin]

Agree. That same logic dictates that since I’ve never been to Japan, Japanese people don’t exist.

[u/peekoooz → u/jwrosenfeld]

I'm only 1/4 Japanese, but my grandpa was fully Japanese. I've never been to Japan either, so my grandpa must not have been real. That obviously means I am not real, despite the fact that I have seen myself and "know" that I exist. So you really can't trust what you see or know either because logic clearly dictates I am not real. #science

[u/RelatableNightmare → u/peekoooz]

No silly... you are only 1/4 not real

[u/heloumadafaka]

"You've got these bones" - Supposedly

^{edit; in fact, seems like she actually said "supposedly" even though, the first time she almost swallowed a syllable.}

[u/Kindly_Bored → u/heloumadafaka]

We had videograpic evidence! But thanks for your concern!

Edit: I apologize to all and sundry but I thought it was time for a good cry en masse.

[u/This-is-Life-Man → u/Kindly_Bored]

I love documentaries!!! This was by far one of the best ever made.

[u/jeranon → u/This-is-Life-Man]

Yup yup yup!

[u/tcroosev → u/jeranon]

Ducky is the best!

[u/amidoblack10B → u/Kindly_Bored]

I didn't need to cry today, but here we are.

[u/rock_flag_n_eagle → u/amidoblack10B]

Time to smoke some treestars

[u/Throwaway56138 → u/rock_flag_n_eagle]

Spike clearly smoked all the tree stars. He was chill as fuck and always eating everything.

[u/EazyE693 → u/Throwaway56138]

Homie smoked himself into being speechless for life.

[u/Xspartantac0X → u/EazyE693]

The original Silent Bob

[u/specifickindness → u/EazyE693]

He said, "Ducky" one time iirc lol

[u/rock_flag_n_eagle → u/Throwaway56138]

Yeah my man was zonked

[u/maddiejake → u/Kindly_Bored]

Sadly, I think this young lady would believe this.

[u/Euler007 → u/heloumadafaka]

Reminds me of the first time I took my wife into a museum of natural history. She looked at the bones and told me she didn't know dinosaurs had existed for real. In her defense she had other things to worry about as a child than robots and dinosaurs (namely Iraq attacking her country and a bunch of religious freaks that just started running it).

[u/dualplains → u/Euler007]

My mom was a college educated woman. She refused to accept it when I told her the sun was a star. Like, completely shut me down, "No, you've got that wrong, they're different things." I worked at NASA and I was still never able to convince her!

[u/evilpercy → u/dualplains]

It is hard raising parents.

[u/grandedaddy → u/evilpercy]

I feel this comment.

[u/evilpercy → u/grandedaddy]

They will always look at you as that 8 year old idiot. They have seen all the stupid things we did growing up. They can not shake this image of you.

Any time i borrowed the power washer from my step father, i would have to hear the lecture about how to run it and that you have to have the water on or it will burn out the motor. Im a 867-5309 years old man (53). So i just went out and purchased my own to avoid this.

[u/Born_Libertine → u/evilpercy]

I'm 42, and I still catch instructionals like this from my mom and step-dad. Sometimes, it is a tiny bit condescending. But in my more introspective hours, I often wonder if because of their age (they're in their early 80s), it's a sort of emotional dependency thing... like they know their time is coming to an end, which causes pain and fear, and these things are just them trying desperately to reach out to the past; to what they love most, and are most terrified to never see again...trying to hold on to the happier days of their lives, in the midst of their final ones.

So, I always just say, "Yes, mom. I promise I'll make sure my phone is charged before I drive home." "Yes, dad. I promise I will keep oil in it."

...now I'm starting to cry.

[u/Desperate-Strategy10 → u/Born_Libertine]

As a mom, I think you're dead on, at least for parents like me. It's really, really fucking hard to watch your kids grow up and become functioning adults when you're so used to them being helpless babies. They need you for so long, an enormous portion of your life, and then one day they just don't anymore. Making that mental switch from "I'm teaching you how to human" to "I'm admiring the person you've become from a respectful distance" feels impossible from where I'm at. I hope it gets easier, but from what I've seen, if anything it'll get harder.

And don't even get me started on the aging part. I'm not trying to cry right now lol.

[u/Lost-My-Mind- → u/Desperate-Strategy10]

One day I made my aunt feel the oldest she's ever felt in her life. How did I do this? Well, I'm the youngest of the 7 cousins. And one day, at Thanksgiving she just looked at me and said "IS YOUR HAIR GREY???" and I said "Yes.....and balding on top."

And it was at that moment that she decided she needed to shop for coffins for herself.

Seeing the young ones in your life become old, makes you realize that if the young ones are old, what does that make the person who's 2 generations older than them?

[u/Muted-Lengthiness-10 → u/Desperate-Strategy10]

Some parents are never able to make that mental switch, so they emotionally abuse and manipulate their kids to try and keep them dependent into their adult lives. It’s pretty annoying.

[u/EveofStLaurent → u/dualplains]

I don’t understand the malfunction. What did she think “suns” were a different category of planetary objects than stars? I would have explained it like ok my name is “bob” but I’m still a human just like the “sun” is it’s colloquial name but it’s still a star.

[u/NortWind → u/EveofStLaurent]

Stars are just pinholes in the outer sphere.

[u/Sam_Sierra73 → u/EveofStLaurent]

-"The Sun is not a star... It doesn't have those pointy thingies around. You know... The spikes!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/FarmTeam → u/Sam_Sierra73]

Suns do have spikes tho, more than stars even! See? ☀️ 🌞

[u/TreKopperTe → u/FarmTeam]

that's two stars. the sun has sunglasses.

[u/ScreenshotShitposts → u/TreKopperTe]

exactly. And in some regions it has a baby's face, such as Teletubby Land

[u/DJV-AnimaFan → u/EveofStLaurent]

Some people at University do believe that the Sun and stars are two different things. Some believe stars are only 'ON' in the night sky. The reason they don't see stars in daylight is because stars turn 'OFF.' Because grade school science didn't explain why stars couldn't be seen in the day, they assumed stars behaved like light-sensor night lights turning off & on. These people may pass chemistry and biology but don't have a clue about astronomy beyond fifth grade.

[u/TwinPitsCleaner → u/DJV-AnimaFan]

That's not fifth grade, that's practically kindergarten stuff

[u/Afraid_Assistance765 → u/dualplains]

Sounds like a ‘flat earther’

[u/MarcusSwims22 → u/Euler007]

Tis the children that truly suffer 🙏

[u/master-shake69 → u/MarcusSwims22]

Humanity's slogan.

[u/hvanderw → u/MarcusSwims22]

Hell is for children.

[u/89Hopper → u/hvanderw]

Love and pain become one and the same in the eyes of a wounded child.

[u/MilwaukeeDave → u/Euler007]

Man that puts things in perspective for real cause my whole childhood was legit dinosaurs and robots.

[u/This-is-Life-Man → u/Euler007]

I'm guessing you got to introduce her into a world that she never knew existed. That's pretty cool. I wish real-world history and events were new to me, but I also wouldn't want to be on the side of the spectrum that is saying things didn't happen out of sheer ignorance. I hope your wife's family was able to get to safety as well. Digital hug " )

[u/HxH101kite → u/This-is-Life-Man]

It would be really cool to be wowed like that again. Like I have recently got into learning about space more, and my mind is blown. But like I knew enough growing up and have taken an astronomy course...etc so that it's not like jaw dropping if you get what I mean.

I would love to have that intense feeling of thinking it was only a fairy tale or never heard of it and then poof there it is and my jaw is fucking dropped.

[u/Alternative-Amoeba20 → u/HxH101kite]

I had a girlfriend who came from Ethiopia. She had never seen snow, thought it, too, was made up, like just some environment for Santa Claus to exist in. Then she saw real snow, and was completely astounded and fascinated. It was fun for me, too, being able to see the crappy snow I'd seen all my flippin life in a new and magical way. Like seeing it through her eyes.

[u/floobidedoo → u/Alternative-Amoeba20]

A coworker arrived from Pakistan at Montreal in the middle of the night during the worst blizzard in a decade. He and his family were all thinking, “what have we done?”

Ten years later he still hasn’t taken my advice and starts wearing his winter coat in October. You have to acclimatize.

[u/Any_Presentation2958 → u/Euler007]

Tbh I can understand someone not knowing/believing in science/history because they came from a certain country that doesn't allow them to be educated on that/just shit going wild. Happy she knows they actually existed now lol

[u/TheCrowBakaaaaw → u/Euler007]

Kuwait? If that’s the case, I may have judged too quickly.

[u/jran1984 → u/TheCrowBakaaaaw]

Bingo

[u/lost_in_connecticut → u/heloumadafaka]

Nerds!

[u/nem012 → u/lost_in_connecticut]

"...constructing this fantasy world that they think is awesome!"

[u/ZefiroLudoviko → u/nem012]

The complete lack of self-awareness astonishes me.

[u/coffeespeaking → u/nem012]

How do they know Jesus rode the dinosaurs.

[u/Cerestat → u/nem012]

Tell me more about young earth creationism. 🤣

[u/NonviolentOffender → u/Cerestat]

Even the Creationist Museum has Jesus riding a dinosaur

[u/Mdnghtmnlght → u/Cerestat]

How do you know the world doesn't disappear when you play peekaboo

[u/This-is-Life-Man → u/lost_in_connecticut]

Dinuhthoars!

[u/REACT_and_REDACT → u/heloumadafaka]

Her theory is as accurate as her grammar.

[u/tripdaisies → u/heloumadafaka]

“Supposably”! Anyone who says “Supposably”, when the word is SupposEDly, is automatically intellectually downgraded, or should be. Why do people find that word so hard to pronounce correctly?

[u/Mordocaster → u/tripdaisies]

Presumedly they’re getting it confused with another word.

[u/fuck-the-emus → u/Mordocaster]

I mean, I kinda get it... If something isn't too far fetched. If one could be able to suppose it. Like if it wasn't completely out of the realm of possibility, it would be supposable, yeah it's incorrect but I can at least understand it. Irregardlessly, she should of learned better by now

[u/captGzus → u/fuck-the-emus]

I loathe this whole thing. Take my angry upvote.

[u/pissclamato → u/captGzus]

My nose is bleeding. I'm having a grammar migraine. Upvote.

[u/slabby → u/fuck-the-emus]

That's gonna be my band name. Supposable Thumbs

[u/Nightwinddsm → u/tripdaisies]

Don't forget peach tree dishes and the gazpacho police.

[u/OutsideWishbone7 → u/tripdaisies]

Same people who can’t say “specific” and for some reason say “Pacific”? Why, what is wrong with you?

[u/kirito4318 → u/OutsideWishbone7]

Uhhhh I had a manager who for some reason couldn't say liable, and would always say your reliable. Like "Your reliable for damages if you break our product." It always bothered me soooo much.

[u/lost_in_connecticut → u/kirito4318]

That manager needs to spend more time in the liberry.

[u/macva99 → u/lost_in_connecticut]

You mean the reliberry.

[u/ArthurKChristopher → u/OutsideWishbone7]

We should also add those who say “irregardless” to this bunch.

[u/ReferenceMuch2193 → u/ArthurKChristopher]

I could care less.

[u/SLO_Citizen → u/heloumadafaka]

She obviously has been to the libary.

[u/NotYourMutha → u/heloumadafaka]

I bet she also believes that there’s a magic wizard in the sky who rules everything and that the Bible is the truth word for word.

[u/Aggromix → u/NotYourMutha]

"I'm so pretty, don't make me think. Tee-hee!"

[u/bmelancon → u/NotYourMutha]

At one time I was Facebook friends with a former coach from my high school. He had gone on to become a preacher. He made some obnoxious post about gay marriage back when the states were beginning to legalize it. Some blithering idiot woman who was a friend of his started making even more obnoxious comments and even used that line about the Bible being "the word of God" and she believes "every word of it is true".

I pointed out 1 Timothy 2:11-12 to her and asked her why she was still talking.

Coach accused me of "cynically quoting the bible" and blocked me.

I'll call that a win.

[u/Ex-MuslimAtheist → u/heloumadafaka]

These are the same people who also say "evolution is just a theory". Lol

[u/MechanicAfraid9468 → u/Ex-MuslimAtheist]

I mean it is just a theory, they just don’t have a clue what a scientific theory actually is lol

I got dumberest

[u/autopsis]

Stupid nerds with all their intelligence and knowledge. I mean, they aren’t even good looking.

[u/ttew93 → u/autopsis]

It’s funny as hell to have disdain for nerds and intelligence but then step into their territory and try and prove them wrong, like dude you’re going to get dunked on from every angle what are you doing

[u/Kendertas → u/ttew93]

Also gestures broadly at human society nerds where pretty important in creating all that. Anti-intellectualism is just so fucked especially in the context of the modern world. Go back to your cave if you hate nerds so much

[u/Bumpyroadinbound → u/Kendertas]

She literally broadcast her shit out into the universe use super advance tech created and maintained by nerds. As a huge science geek people like this really upset me.

Your entire life is so amazing in so many ways, because nerds.

[u/incongruity → u/Bumpyroadinbound]

Yeah - I had the same reaction. The amount of stupidly used privilege is breathtaking but also somewhat unexpectedly anger inducing. Fuck her and the short bus she belongs on.

[u/Hamletstwin → u/incongruity]

Hey, at least people on the short bus are TRYING. She seems incapable. She could use the thing that's recording her idiocy to lookup the answers to her questions. Then try to disprove them, but that would require an actual thought.

[u/27SwingAndADrive → u/Bumpyroadinbound]

The downside is we have to maintain the technology they use to mock us.

The upside is we can use that same technology to mock them.

[u/leviathansbane → u/ttew93]

The tuna have developed a taste for lion meat

[u/3eemo → u/autopsis]

This girl is too stupid to exist. She doesn’t exist. She’s just some fantasy nerds made up to make fun of, I mean how do we know she’s real, she could just be a robot /s

[u/boomer-75 → u/3eemo]

Depends on the nerds but I am pretty sure they would not have programmed her to talk. Then again, maybe it fills a kink for exceptionally dumb girls.

[u/ButterflyScared → u/autopsis]

[u/Magister5 → u/ButterflyScared]

[u/Whale-n-Flowers → u/autopsis]

I believe you mean "they aren't even good looking, *supposably"

[u/Capt_Autismo189]

We actually have very little evidence of what they sound like, but we've have recently discovered an nodosaur that was completely mummified with skin intact.

[u/gau-tam → u/Capt_Autismo189]

Yeah. She ironically mentioned the two things we know least about in Dinosaurs.

[u/dkac → u/gau-tam]

A dumb person making a good point and coming to the wrong conclusion.

[u/PerryDawg1 → u/Capt_Autismo189]

We can predict the type of sounds because of their air passageways and the comparison to modern birds and reptiles.

[u/BranJon_Stark → u/PerryDawg1]

The sounds they make can be reconstructed by analysing their skulls or something like that

[u/Ajaliah]

If peaked in highschool was a person.

[u/Khaisz → u/Ajaliah]

I don't think she ever peaked anywhere, it's just a flat line at the bottom.

[u/Wat_Senju → u/Khaisz]

There's always a peak.. even if it's below sea level

[u/ResearchNo5041 → u/Ajaliah]

"peaked in Sunday school" ftfy

[u/nvanalfen → u/Ajaliah]

The "a bunch of nerds" really cements that point.

[u/Geroditus → u/nvanalfen]

A “bunch of nerds” made the microphone she’s talking into, the camera she’s being recorded with, the material her clothes are made from, the birth control pills she’s (hopefully) taking, and are the reason she didn’t die of tuberculosis at the age of 12.

Nerds make the world go round, sister.

[u/DOGSraisingCATS → u/nvanalfen]

Her interests are reality TV, talking shit about her own friends, and brunching with the girls...she can't figure out why her boyfriend can't stand talking to her for more than 5 minutes...

[u/NoLibrarian5149 → u/DOGSraisingCATS]

She obv Keeps Up with the Kardashians. Smart shit like Carl Sagan/Cosmos is FOR NERDS!!!

[u/Geroditus → u/Ajaliah]

I’m a high school science teacher. There’s always a handful of students who just sort of breeze through by doing the bare minimum of work it takes to technically pass the class, but never bother to really think in-depth about anything or try to understand what’s happening. I assume that they’re thinking this is all “useless” information that they’re “never gonna use anyway.”

But then they leave high school with 0 critical thinking skills or scientific literacy. It is frustrating from my end to see these students who, despite my best efforts, just don’t care enough to learn.

This girl 100% seems like one of those. Sooner or later though, real life is going to hit them like a ton of bricks—because the laws of physics are largely indifferent to your “theories.”

[u/SirPoonSmasherIII]

Stupid D average student learned how to use a microphone.

[u/01-__-10 → u/SirPoonSmasherIII]

Someone set it up for her.

”No, no! You don’t put it IN your mouth!…”

Edit: ”Supposably”

[u/No_Entertainment1931 → u/SirPoonSmasherIII]

Bible

[u/OddConfidence9848 → u/No_Entertainment1931]

Probably the second biggest reason she thinks this

[u/MedicinalPorpoises → u/No_Entertainment1931]

Someone needs to play reverse uno card.

[u/urbeatagain → u/majj27]

Fox News Audition tape leaked.

[u/numbertenoc → u/urbeatagain]

In 2017, I took a job at TheBlaze as a contributor and began offering commentary on a variety of Fox News shows.

From her website

[u/WiseSalamander00 → u/numbertenoc]

ah there is the explanation

[u/killerjags → u/numbertenoc]

My first book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love, is available now, and I couldn't be more excited! In this age of what I call "trendy narcissism," young women are bombarded with the myth that self-love is all we need for satisfaction. The truth is, self-love, self-empowerment, self-fulfillment, self-whatever will ultimately lead to a dead end of disappointment.  In the book, we bust five of society's most popular cultural myths, such as "you can't love other people until you love yourself" and "you determine your own truth." These are superficial lies that, when believed, have both personal and societal ramifications. Thankfully, the Bible gives us truthful alternatives that show us a better way.

She sounds like an over the top antagonist in a comedy sitcom. Who the hell is actively against self acceptance?

[u/olivegardengambler → u/killerjags]

Doesn't believe that you determine you own truth

Does exactly fucking that

[u/AdgeAy]

I know what they looked and sounded like because I watched the Jurassic park movies….

[u/dj92wa → u/AdgeAy]

Documentaries. They were documentaries. Just like Star Wars.

[u/mark3121 → u/AdgeAy]

Fair

[u/WaffleGoat6969 → u/AdgeAy]

I played Ark Survival Evolved and can confirm dinosaurs are real.

[u/Post-Scarcity-Pal]

Confidently dumb.

[u/ashpanda24 → u/Post-Scarcity-Pal]

She's calculated. This is Allie Beth Stuckey, conservative Christian grifter and hypocrite.

[u/thehorseyourodeinon1 → u/ashpanda24]

Amazing one can be so confident God exists and yet questions the existence of dinosaurs.

[u/Ryokurin → u/thehorseyourodeinon1]

It's all to test your faith, you see. Depending on the denomination of Christian you ask the Devil or God put them there to create doubt that they exist. That's the same reasoning on why she'll probably will also say the earth is roughly 6,000 years old. Carbon dating is another big lie to them.

I remember asking when I was little, is it just that time was counted differently in those days since like 7 people in the bible allegedly lived over 900 years, and it didn't go over too well.

[u/GradeDry7908 → u/Ryokurin]

I went to a catholic school for 10 years and I once asked how people could live so long. Teacher said there was less pollution and 12 year old me thought “makes sense.”

[u/CaliBigWill]

She said Supposably. Just stop there

[u/NoMembership6376 → u/CaliBigWill]

Hopefully one day she'll fade into Bolivian!

[u/mdsg5432 → u/NoMembership6376]

But there's a Brazilian other people just like her

[u/Alan_Smithee_ → u/CaliBigWill]

Ok Barbie, back in the cellophane box.

Edit: someone suggested “cellophone box,” which works on a number of levels.

[u/mezlabor → u/Alan_Smithee_]

Thats an insult to Barbie. Barbie is a friggin genuis.

"How do you know, what like, people looked like before photographs? How do you know?"

[u/Yen1969 → u/pakman705]

I call this: " I don't understand, so obviously nobody else can understand either" syndrome.

[u/Fearsthelittledeath → u/Yen1969]

There is this person who made an hour long video "auditing" the Chicago Field Museum and it literally starts off with her trying to pronounce Eukaryotes and said it wrong anyway while not caring because she didn't believe it made any sense to her. Complained about evolution, all the scientific theories, that dinosaurs are really dragons, and kept saying "how did they know, they weren't there?" or "it doesn't make sense to me so it makes no sense at all for anyone else".

They claimed to be "unbiased" and said the creationist side is also as "ridiculous", but she "audited" the creationist museum later and ate up all their lies. Her later videos of course showed even more what a typical idiotic person she is by being a Trump supporter who tries to get views by wearing a MAGA hat in public trying to force fights.

[u/Accipiter1138 → u/Fearsthelittledeath]

Facepalmed ten seconds into the video. Hoo boy, good thing the original appears to have been deleted or I might have hurt myself.

[u/Magister5 → u/pakman705]

I would love to see her explain Vesuvius and the people in "Bombay"

[u/IHaveAChairWawawewa → u/pakman705]

Well, to be fair, we don't really know exactly what they looked like. That's why it was such massive news when we realised they probably had feathers. There might even be curveball organs like elephant trunks n shit that are impossible for us to know because soft tissue doesn't really hold up over millions of years.

But in terms of how they sounded, I think we've got some preserved vocal cavities or something that we used to estimate how they might've sounded.

She's a moron with valid questions but she's too quick to take her uncertainty as evidence against the existence of dinosaurs.

[u/Various_Cricket4695]

Is this Miss South Carolina?

[u/HisPetBrat → u/Various_Cricket4695]

And such as!

[u/HelloDarkHarden → u/Various_Cricket4695]

Such as the Iraq? It's because people don't have maps!

[u/ForceGhost47]

Another moron

[u/Extreme_Assistant_98]

This is what happens when you are groomed and indoctrinated as a child. Sad.

[u/irr1449 → u/Extreme_Assistant_98]

This is what happens when anyone with a cell phone and a pretty face can become an authority because a large group of unintelligent people follow them on social media.

[u/Extreme_Assistant_98 → u/irr1449]

100% the internet has made the stupidest fucking people famous.

[u/joemeteorite8 → u/Extreme_Assistant_98]

It’s given every village idiot a megaphone and mountain top to scream from.

[u/alborigano]

I’ll never understand their delusions. To them it’s impossible to know what a t-rex looked or sounded like because fossils are made up, but they are dead certain of what Jesus looked and sounded like based on a bunch of old stories. How do they compute?

[u/DigoesDidIt → u/alborigano]

Everyone knows dinosaur bones were planted by the devil to distract true Christian’s from their ultimate goal: hating the gays.

[u/Uncle_Gru]

Supposably

[u/mrsagc90]

Duh. Everyone knows fossils were planted by Satan to make people doubt the bible. /s

[u/iamzion248 → u/mrsagc90]

No your wrong, they were put there by God to test the faith of the people. /s

Because you know God has to occasionally make trouble to test all the children that he loves to make sure that they have enough faith to fear, love, and worship him.

[u/WaffleGoat6969 → u/iamzion248]

And if they get out of hand just drown all the bastards.

[u/Warkitz]

This girl makes more money than me.

We deserve our coming extinction.

[u/Exam_Ordinary]

Guessing this is Fox News’ new science correspondent?

[u/BriefCheetah4136]

Supposably, she feels she is somehow relevant and that her opinion matters

[u/AmserAlto]

She’s got that Marjorie trailer park Greene voice and face

[u/Jonahmaxt]

These are two completely separate ideas that don’t really go together. The bones are real, obviously. Dinosaurs existed, obviously. In terms of how they are represented in pop culture like their skin and their sound, yeah, she’s right those are mostly educated guesses backed by very little evidence.

Clearly this woman does not know the difference between actual science and Jurassic park. To her, I guess it’s all the same ‘nerd fantasy’.

[u/RubiMent → u/Jonahmaxt]

People really underestimate palaeontology. In a film yes, it is backed by little evidence, but actual scientist who theorise how the animals looked like put a lot LOT more effort into the research, and it is not just baseless assumptions. It is far from just slapping skin on some bones.

[u/SlickWilly49 → u/RubiMent]

Here’s a really interesting snippet from a talk given by palaeontologist David Hone, where he describes the speed and distance a T-Rex could run. The degree to which they can theorise about the physiology and predation of dinosaurs from a tiny bone structure in the foot is amazing. It’s the difference between investing your life into understanding dinosaurs with the minimal amount of specimens available to us, and “we don’t know what they looked like so they didn’t exist lmao”

[u/LazerDogs → u/Jonahmaxt]

Whoa there buster. Jurassic Park wasn't a documentary? You've shattered my world view

[u/Diabl21693]

It’s fucking terrifying that the stupidest people on this planet are given the biggest platforms to spread their bullshit.

[u/JadedSpaceNerd → u/Diabl21693]

Often the dumbest people are the loudest

[u/This_guy_Jon]

Me driving my car , yeah fuck them dinosaurs 👁️👄👁️

[u/itoldyallabour → u/This_guy_Jon]

Unfortunately you’ve got carboniferous plants in your tank

[u/ithinkitsnotworking]

The education system there needs some work.

[u/Evening_Chemist_2367]

Here's a girl who got nothing but F's in science

[u/Psychological-Gur783]

Some people just shouldn’t talk.

[u/victor86vazquez]

Wow stupidity at its best
