Well, she excavates the earth thousands of times a day... I wouldn't trust her opinion about what is strange.
You gotta look for the litte marks that form on the ground, then you dig it up and sell it to the owl that lives in the museum.
Paleontologists typically do not find fossils either (or at least not the initial dig sites), they just safely extract them out of the ground after they got reported. It's just some random ass people who find them, often in quarries or construction sties, but sometimes also just some playing kids who stumble upon them.
Exactly. Someone finds a weird-looking bone, calls a nearby university or something, and then paleontologists get involved. You generally wonβt find paleontologists walking around with shovels, unless theyβre working a site thatβs already known to be a source of interesting stuff.
That depends on the definition of βreal.β By any definition, dinosaurs were real, however.
I'm guessing her definition of "real" is "whatever the King James Bible says." And it was written before people knew dinosaurs were a thing, so she thinks they weren't real.
Then how do you explain Job 40:15β20??
/s
I know, that annoyed me too. Especially since I love archaeology and am much less interested in paleontology.
That's the least wrong thing in the post too...oof
It seems strange to her because she's a moron. Everything seems strange and confusing to morons.
I wouldn't even call her a moron IF she took her ignorance and tried to learn from people that do this shit for a living. Go and learn about fossils, strata etc. That would be commendable.
But no, she's a moron that thinks she's on to some conspiracy instead of trying to grow and learn.
Iβm impressed by the constant misuse of theyβre/there/their.
By that criteria, most of Reddit are complete moro----- oh, I get it now. Carry on.
All of human knowledge at the tips of their fingers on their phones, yet we have more ignorance than ever.
All of human knowledge, but also more lies than ever.
Disinformation is a thing, but not a good excuse.
I know it may seem that way, but the reality is, you just get exposed to the morons more often now, the average level of moron has actually gone down! just look at some of the shit people used to believe not 40 years ago
there are also 7 fucking billion people now, so there are more morons than there used to be, it's just that there are also EVEN WAY MORE non-morons too.
Maybe, at least 40 years ago those people would have only their local groups to feed from. Now it's echo chambers with thousands and thousands of people all feeding off each other's stupidity.
Whaaa? π€―
Huh?
Does my comment feel strange? Is it confusing? ARE YOU A MORON?
"We excavate the Earth thousands of times a day."
Looks out window.....missed a spot
The first identified dinosaur came from a slate quarry in Oxfordshire, England.
You know, where no one but "archeologists" can dig.
I really wish these people would notice spellcheck occasionally...

Is this not satire? I assumed the OP was satire...
No. The image is not satirical. Hence it being in this community.
Spell check won't fix stupidity, or bad grammar. "Their" -> "They're".
True, but at least she would have spelled 'archaeologists' properly.
'Archeologists' is one of the proper spellings tho. Autocomplete even suggests it for me so I don't think spell check would have marked it.
Archaeopteryx... archeozoic... archeobacteria... dammit, neither can I!
