Do You Want To See My Rock Collection. Will You Want To See My Rock Collection. When Will You Want To

Okay then, if you're so very clever...

If we're not meant to eat rocks, how come they're named shit like "apatite"?

You're damn fucking right I have an apetite.

Yeah, I think they're gneiss.

I like rocks, anyone else like em' too?

*Elmer Fudd voice* Be vewwy, vewwy, quiet, I'm hunting geowogists

wait are chickens actually decended from t-rexes or is it just a comedic pairing

Chickens and T. rex share a recent common ancestor, more recent than T. rex shares with Stegosaurus or Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus

Chickens did not descend from T. rex, because T. rex is a very specialized and derived dinosaur

However, they - and all other birds, because all birds are in a single group - descended from small raptorial dinosaurs like Velociraptor. And, the common ancestor of Velociraptor and all birds (including chickens) could fly

And since birds descend from the same common ancestor as all other dinosaurs, they're dinosaurs.

Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can't be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can't be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.

Hey, yeah you, come closer.

I literally don't give a

fuck

about your obsession that dinosaurs

need

to be scary, even with feathers.

One of my current professors was at the conference where plate tectonics was officially accepted as a real thing and witnessed two geologists almost get into a fist fight about it

Absolutely insane that plate tectonics was only really figured out in the 1960s. How the fuck did we make nukes and get to space and discover dna before we figured out how the fucking ground works

i love grocery shopping!!! The best parts are when my hands go numb and my heart and lungs get to play jump rope!!!!
