I really don’t think dinosaurs were properly real and I’m not sure that the earth is proper round

[SomethingNarstyInTheWoodshed]

It makes my brain hurt so I’m just not going to try.

Oh, love it, love it, OP , too tired to get involved but just go on please, we do need some fun around here...

Welsh... and patchy.... [off sniggering merrily, best thing I've read here for ages...]

Or what anachronistic corpse just said.

Who's Brian?

That dinosaur vs Christian thread was hilarious, one of my favourites. Was it EatShitDerek who posted all the funny memes? I’ve never been able to find it again.

Who's poor Brian?

Strax, you know they’re not real bones, right? They’re castings. They could make up any old bobbins, really.

I've got a poor Brian too. It's a such a shame but we love him oodles.

I’ve seens things that someone claims to be dinosaur bones. They looked like bobbly rocks assembled in a certain way.

A bit like that Victorian chap did with the Knossos (most disappointing place ever). Oh look a bathroom. And a bedroom. Bollox they are

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it isn’t a fact.

I want a pizza joint.

I'd like to live in a world with Jean Luc Picard being seen as the person to be worshipped.

You could look at each episode and create laws from it. Moral ways to live and treat each other.

Pretty sure the Ferengi would be in there as a lesson.

Anyway. I digress. Dinosaurs, satsumas, bathrooms in Ancient Greek ruins. All someone else’s imagination.

I dont entirely believe in narwhals

It's only a fact if Brian says it is. He's not always just a naughty boy.....

It really takes something for a person to trust their vague and uneducated feeling that something is too hard to understand more than the consensus view of thousands of scientists.

That said this thread is obviously a wind up by OP, so I won't let it worry me

The world is actually an oblate spheroid.
If there was no space in atoms between electrons and the nucleus, the earth would be the size of a satsuma.

Oh, bugger.... bees confuse me... who decided what their dances really mean. Whether they actually dance, even, or just wiggle their bottoms because they're itchy?

I mean. They’d possibly be able to argue their case more coherently. So I’m not. But maybe I should be.

This is not a case you can argue coherently. Because it's bollocks. Even other bollocks like astronomy doesn't work if the earth is flat. Excellent run down here: www.popsci.com/10-ways-you-can-prove-earth-is-round

Hint: gravity wouldn't work the way it does if the earth was flat, we'd all be pulled into the middle all the time.

But scientists aren’t always right are they?

I'm not prepared to argue with better-informed posters about the shape of the earth but I'm with you regarding the dinosaurs OP. They're totally implausible.

I think the safest position is to assume that I know fuck all (obviously) and the scientists etc are working with the best knowledge and tools they have currently to explain stuff.

And that it’s likely someone will come along with better tools and knowledge to explain it differently.

So in the meantime we should all just nod and smile and bask in the wonder of the unknown. Or something.

Are we talking about a dinosaur named Brian?

Hmmm. Gravity. I’m not sure.

This has been done before and the OP was much more convincing that time. Actually had arguments for their theory rather than "it makes my brain hurt"!

True words Something I'm not a scientist and I am always right.
