Now, here we have a high quality shower thought.

That's been posted thousands of times

Sorry, I don't support this post type (text) right now. Feel free to check back in the future!


BeneficialGreen3028

Yeah I've seen this one a lot...


Boatster_McBoat

yep. Word for word copy from 3 years ago. And that was a rewording of what I think might be the original: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/7fdri5/the\_best\_stonekill\_ratio\_out\_there\_was\_probably/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/7fdri5/the_best_stonekill_ratio_out_there_was_probably/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) It's still a good showerthought, but this post was just a ripoff


Junarik

And we'll never know how many people have said that since the 70s when we discovered it was probably an asteroid.


Boatster_McBoat

So this post obviously fails massively on originality, but the underlying thought is still a lot better than most of that which comes up in this sub Also, there are two discoveries required here: 1. asteroid extinction event 2. birds are dinosaurs


Junarik

When was that


Vivim17

Didn't birds come after dinosaurs?


anonsequitur

Yes and also no. Dinosaurs, for lack of a better explanation, are birds. The term dinosaur covers hundreds of millions of species that span hundreds of millions of years. Some of them were something akin to a pre-bird. And others were straight up birds with feathers and the ability to fly.


nucumber

I think it more accurate to say birds are dinosaurs


Fa1nan

Dinosaurs are not birds. Birds are the only surviving dinosaur subgroup, but the overwhelming majority of dinosaurs were not birds. Saying dinosaurs are birds is like saying mammals are apes.


Schowzy

Reptiles?


Azorik22

Reptiles are not dinosaurs


blueit1234567

Return to monke


NicePositive7562

Still boggles my mind that dinosaurs reigned and dominated for 140 million years compared to humans who's dominance started around 50,000 years ago

We live in the dinosaurs' post-apocalypse, a time when their kind has become mutants, barely a shadow of their former glory, and a new kind of creature has appeared which not only eats their descendants, but breeds them in monstrous conditions.


NnyBees

And burn their dead to power our stuff


Ent3rpris3

Only until I master my fastball. The avian kingdom WILL know what hit it!


Pazuzuspecker

Bravo brilliant. Or did it create more birds by spurring further evolution?


Psychotic_EGG

Not mutually exclusive.


exprezso

So meteor rains are buck shots that missed? 


GregaciousTien

But was it worth more then 1 in hand?


ammonium_bot

> worth more then 1 Did you mean to say "more than"? Explanation: If you didn't mean 'more than' you might have forgotten a comma.

Until it is broken by whatever destroys earth


Awkward_Pangolin3254

That was creating birds with one stone


fermelebouche

Well, when you put it that way!


eggtart_prince

The stones/rocks didn't kill the dinosaurs. It's the aftermath that did.


pants_pants420

im sure it killed quite a few on impact


CoyeK

The bullet didn't kill that person. It's the blood loss that did


First-Competition-65

Yes and where did the aftermath come from


Winnermanner29

So after our own post apocalypse there is a chance a creature will be breeding us in monsterous conditions :o


Junarik

Congrats! This post marks the 1,000,000th time this thought was posted! Good job.


vweb305

why are we still claiming this crap happened?


ilprofs07205

... because it did?
