I read that algae actually makes up more of what we know as oil than decomposed dinosaurs.
Edit: the source of that tidbit. He does a cool demo at the beginning.
Algae and plankton. It also obviously takes longer than a few minutes, like at least an hour.
At least
To ruin the joke i learned recently that oil comes exclusively from dead marine life 🤓
but that T-Rex served as a marine
That t-rex was a swimmer 🏊
Fun fact: we now know for a fact that many dinosaurs could swim, including T Rex! How do we know? There are footprints that get smaller and shallower as the dinos got deeped into the water, eventually reduced to just small scratches by the tips of their claws and eventually disappearing altogether. It looks something like this:
How do they know they weren’t taking off? Maybe they were able to fly without wings!
Awesome fact btw
Then there’d be one really deep print as they kicked off.
But what if they had a organelle which generated helium and made them slowly float
Hydrogen.
You can’t generate helium unless you have a fusion reactor.
Actually, nuclear powered flying T. rex sounds cool, so let’s go with it.
That’s super cool I had no idea!! Does anyone have fun sources to start with?
TIL, thanks.
You see, if aborted babies were a viable fuel source abortions would be government funded by now.
Imagine if when you died you just turned back into a pile of your component materials. Leaving behind a muddy puddle.
what are your component materials?
The rocks, in time, compress
Your blood to oil,
Your flesh to coal,
Enrich the soil,
Not everybody’s goal.Carbon and Vodka.
Literally dirt and water. A muddy puddle. XD
He was under a lot of pressure
A Shell of their former selves.
That’s what happens when you donate your body for science
brutal.
