Akshually, modern birds are descended from dinosaurs, effectively making them dinosaurs themselves. So humans did, and still do, live with dinosaurs.

Little birds are so cute, until you watch them hunting for prey and imagine yourself at that scale.

Watched a chicken jumpkick a rat and the rat bleed to death. We are lucky the world isn't full of cassowary.

I mean it’s not hollowed out and literally filled with them, but we do have SOME cassowaries.

Preach! And it’s not even “effectively,” birds are dinosaurs—full stop. They are avian dinosaurs.

I worked in a nature reserve, a couple times we needed emergency treatment for ostriches, and our vet said wrestling an ostrich to its knees was safer for the ostrich than using sedatives...

I'm not sure if its true, but when I was 18 years old, it was the highlight of my life

I went to Australia and went with a tour group and the bus stopped. All of the cars were stopped on the road for some reason. The tour guide said "nobody get out of the vehicle!" Then I saw a velociraptor with a couple of baby velociraptors just walking down the side of the road.

I think they call them cassowaries, but if you see how they move, those things are goddamn velociraptors.

being a fruit isn't an indicator about what to do with it. are you putting cucumbers in fruit salads too?

god forbid you put a strawberry in the fruit salad, because that isn't a fruit.

you're the one being pedantic. birds are all dinosaurs, that is a scientific consensus.

that doesn't mean that a pigeon will be the next monster in Jurassic world 8. but there are all dinosaurs.

same way humans are also primates and mammals and animals...

I spend a fair bit of time in 'Murica

I used to think that the stereotype of the stupid yank was just that, nothing more than a stereotype

Sure, there are millions of normal, intelligent people, but there are a huge and concerning number who are exactly as stupid as they are portrayed

The casual religiousity is damning, and when people believe in one absurdity they are primed to believe in others too

I doubt it's that high. They surveyed 1000 people over a decade ago to extrapolate that:

The poll surveyed 1000 adult Americans between June 15 and June 17, 2015, apparently on-line; the margin of error reported was plus/minus 4.4%. Further details of the polling methodology are not readily apparent.

All I have to do is turn on their national news program to gauge just how dumb America is.

This is probably the reason why we haven't had any alien contact from outer space. Aliens tune into our news networks, see just how stupid we are, especially Americans who are supposedly the wealthiest country and aliens just cringe, turn off the channel, place an intergalactic sign post just outside the orbit of Neptune warning everyone to stay away.

Demographically, YouGov noted, "While most Americans who describe themselves as 'born again' (56%) believe that humans and dinosaurs once shared the planet, most Americans who do not describe themselves as born again (51%) think that they did not."

"Humans and dinosaurs living together" is a popular trope in entertainment. Surprise, surprise - repeatedly exposing people to this anachronism will lead people to believe the thing.

By comparison, a mere 6% of Americans doubt the Moon landing happened. When we're constantly including Americans-visiting-the-moon tropes in our historical dramas and near future fictions, people get the answer correct far more often than not.
