r/Showerthoughts on Reddit: Dinosaurs existed for a good 165,000,000 years meanwhile we’ve only existed for some 300,000
January 3, 2024 -
I never really see anyone talk about just how long dinosaurs ruled the Earth for compared to our measly existence. It really is just due to the most obscene chance that we exist… The kings of the world wiped out by some random rock hurtling through space that happened to hit our tiny planet. I can’t help but wonder how different things would be today had they survived.
edit: yeah, it really was just a shower thought. People have been quick to point out how meaningless the term ‘dinosaur’ is in this comparison
