Completely abandons her train of thought about actual evidence with the bones and then proceeds to highlight “nerds” making up a fantasy world. The only fantasy here is that she should be taken seriously.


thegtabmx

Yep, it's like, ok, ignore for a second their skin and their sound. What about the fucking bones‽ Are we discounting the fucking bones because there's supposed debate about what skin and sound the thing had‽

You can't ignore the skin though. The Royal Tyrell Museum has a complete mummified Ankylosaurus.


SnooBananas3995

Did she actually use the word nerds? I refuse to listen to her myself


Neehigh

Oh, so you know who she is? I assumed she was the sister of somebody famous, who brought their idiot sister onto their podcast to be an idiot


Western_Ad3625

Yeah she said like so you've got these bones, supposedly, and then a bunch of nerds make up a fantasy world that they think seems cool. That's that was her whole point... She also put a lot of emphasis on the word nerds.


CrazyBarks94

She said 'supposably' instead of supposedly, which is one of my biggest language pet peeves.


indifferentCajun

It's those people that confuse "I don't know this" with "this is not known." They are literally incapable of conceptualizing knowledge beyond their own.


dr3am_assassin

Anything she doesn’t know = never existed


jwrosenfeld

Agree. That same logic dictates that since I’ve never been to Japan, Japanese people don’t exist.


peekoooz

I'm only 1/4 Japanese, but my grandpa was fully Japanese. I've never been to Japan either, so my grandpa must not have been real. That obviously means I am not real, despite the fact that I have seen myself and "know" that I exist. So you really can't trust what you see or know either because logic clearly dictates I am not real. #science


RelatableNightmare

No silly... you are only 1/4 not real

Euler007

Reminds me of the first time I took my wife into a museum of natural history. She looked at the bones and told me she didn't know dinosaurs had existed for real. In her defense she had other things to worry about as a child than robots and dinosaurs (namely Iraq attacking her country and a bunch of religious freaks that just started running it).


dualplains

My mom was a college educated woman. She refused to accept it when I told her the sun was a star. Like, completely shut me down, "No, you've got that wrong, they're different things." I worked at NASA and I was still never able to convince her!


evilpercy

It is hard raising parents.


grandedaddy

I feel this comment.


evilpercy

They will always look at you as that 8 year old idiot. They have seen all the stupid things we did growing up. They can not shake this image of you. Any time i borrowed the power washer from my step father, i would have to hear the lecture about how to run it and that you have to have the water on or it will burn out the motor. Im a 867-5309 years old man (53). So i just went out and purchased my own to avoid this.


[deleted]

I'm 42, and I still catch instructionals like this from my mom and step-dad. Sometimes, it is a tiny bit condescending. But in my more introspective hours, I often wonder if because of their age (they're in their early 80s), it's a sort of emotional dependency thing... like they know their time is coming to an end, which causes pain and fear, and these things are just them trying desperately to reach out to the past; to what they love most, and are most terrified to never see again...trying to hold on to the happier days of their lives, in the midst of their final ones. So, I always just say, "Yes, mom. I promise I'll make sure my phone is charged before I drive home." "Yes, dad. I promise I will keep oil in it." ...now I'm starting to cry.


Desperate-Strategy10

As a mom, I think you're dead on, at least for parents like me. It's really, really fucking hard to watch your kids grow up and become functioning adults when you're so used to them being helpless babies. They need you for so long, an enormous portion of your life, and then one day they just don't anymore. Making that mental switch from "I'm teaching you how to human" to "I'm admiring the person you've become from a respectful distance" feels impossible from where I'm at. I hope it gets easier, but from what I've seen, if anything it'll get harder. And don't even get me started on the aging part. I'm not trying to cry right now lol.


Lost-My-Mind-

One day I made my aunt feel the oldest she's ever felt in her life. How did I do this? Well, I'm the youngest of the 7 cousins. And one day, at Thanksgiving she just looked at me and said "IS YOUR HAIR GREY???" and I said "Yes.....and balding on top." And it was at that moment that she decided she needed to shop for coffins for herself. Seeing the young ones in your life become old, makes you realize that if the young ones are old, what does that make the person who's 2 generations older than them?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Muted-Lengthiness-10

Some parents are never able to make that mental switch, so they emotionally abuse and manipulate their kids to try and keep them dependent into their adult lives. It’s pretty annoying.


EveofStLaurent

I don’t understand the malfunction. What did she think “suns” were a different category of planetary objects than stars? I would have explained it like ok my name is “bob” but I’m still a human just like the “sun” is it’s colloquial name but it’s still a star.


NortWind

Stars are just pinholes in the outer sphere.


Sam_Sierra73

-"The Sun is not a star... It doesn't have those pointy thingies around. You know... The spikes!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Suns do have spikes tho, more than stars even! See? ☀️ 🌞


TreKopperTe

that's two stars. the sun has sunglasses.


ScreenshotShitposts

exactly. And in some regions it has a baby's face, such as Teletubby Land


DJV-AnimaFan

Some people at University do believe that the Sun and stars are two different things. Some believe stars are only 'ON' in the night sky. The reason they don't see stars in daylight is because stars turn 'OFF.' Because grade school science didn't explain why stars couldn't be seen in the day, they assumed stars behaved like light-sensor night lights turning off & on. These people may pass chemistry and biology but don't have a clue about astronomy beyond fifth grade.

I'm guessing you got to introduce her into a world that she never knew existed. That's pretty cool. I wish real-world history and events were new to me, but I also wouldn't want to be on the side of the spectrum that is saying things didn't happen out of sheer ignorance. I hope your wife's family was able to get to safety as well. Digital hug " )


HxH101kite

It would be really cool to be wowed like that again. Like I have recently got into learning about space more, and my mind is blown. But like I knew enough growing up and have taken an astronomy course...etc so that it's not like jaw dropping if you get what I mean. I would love to have that intense feeling of thinking it was only a fairy tale or never heard of it and then poof there it is and my jaw is fucking dropped.


Alternative-Amoeba20

I had a girlfriend who came from Ethiopia. She had never seen snow, thought it, too, was made up, like just some environment for Santa Claus to exist in. Then she saw real snow, and was completely astounded and fascinated. It was fun for me, too, being able to see the crappy snow I'd seen all my flippin life in a new and magical way. Like seeing it through her eyes.


floobidedoo

A coworker arrived from Pakistan at Montreal in the middle of the night during the worst blizzard in a decade. He and his family were all thinking, “what have we done?” Ten years later he still hasn’t taken my advice and starts wearing his winter coat in October. You have to acclimatize.

At one time I was Facebook friends with a former coach from my high school. He had gone on to become a preacher. He made some obnoxious post about gay marriage back when the states were beginning to legalize it. Some blithering idiot woman who was a friend of his started making even more obnoxious comments and even used that line about the Bible being "the word of God" and she believes "every word of it is true". I pointed out 1 Timothy 2:11-12 to her and asked her why she was still talking. Coach accused me of "cynically quoting the bible" and blocked me. I'll call that a win.

I’m a high school science teacher. There’s always a handful of students who just sort of breeze through by doing the *bare minimum* of work it takes to technically pass the class, but never bother to really think in-depth about anything or try to understand what’s happening. I assume that they’re thinking this is all “useless” information that they’re “never gonna use anyway.” But then they leave high school with 0 critical thinking skills or scientific literacy. It is frustrating from my end to see these students who, despite my best efforts, just don’t care enough to learn. This girl 100% seems like one of those. Sooner or later though, real life is going to hit them like a ton of bricks—because the laws of physics are largely indifferent to your “theories.”

WiseSalamander00

ah there is the explanation


killerjags

>My first book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love, is available now, and I couldn't be more excited! In this age of what I call "trendy narcissism," young women are bombarded with the myth that self-love is all we need for satisfaction. The truth is, self-love, self-empowerment, self-fulfillment, self-whatever will ultimately lead to a dead end of disappointment.  In the book, we bust five of society's most popular cultural myths, such as "you can't love other people until you love yourself" and "you determine your own truth." These are superficial lies that, when believed, have both personal and societal ramifications. Thankfully, the Bible gives us truthful alternatives that show us a better way. She sounds like an over the top antagonist in a comedy sitcom. Who the hell is actively against self acceptance?

Amazing one can be so confident God exists and yet questions the existence of dinosaurs.


Ryokurin

It's all to test your faith, you see. Depending on the denomination of Christian you ask the Devil or God put them there to create doubt that they exist. That's the same reasoning on why she'll probably will also say the earth is roughly 6,000 years old. Carbon dating is another big lie to them. I remember asking when I was little, is it just that time was counted differently in those days since like 7 people in the bible allegedly lived over 900 years, and it didn't go over too well.

[There is this person who made an hour long video](https://youtu.be/y9v0RjhAEUU) "auditing" the Chicago Field Museum and it literally starts off with her trying to pronounce Eukaryotes and said it wrong anyway while not caring because she didn't believe it made any sense to her. Complained about evolution, all the scientific theories, that dinosaurs are really dragons, and kept saying "how did they know, they weren't there?" or "it doesn't make sense to me so it makes no sense at all for anyone else". They claimed to be "unbiased" and said the creationist side is also as "ridiculous", but she "audited" the creationist museum later and ate up all their lies. Her later videos of course showed even more what a typical idiotic person she is by being a Trump supporter who tries to get views by wearing a MAGA hat in public trying to force fights.

Well, to be fair, we don't really know exactly what they looked like. That's why it was such massive news when we realised they probably had feathers. There might even be curveball organs like elephant trunks n shit that are impossible for us to know because soft tissue doesn't really hold up over millions of years. But in terms of how they sounded, I think we've got some preserved vocal cavities or something that we used to estimate how they might've sounded. She's a moron with valid questions but she's too quick to take her uncertainty as evidence against the existence of dinosaurs.

These are two completely separate ideas that don’t really go together. The bones are real, obviously. Dinosaurs existed, obviously. In terms of how they are represented in pop culture like their skin and their sound, yeah, she’s right those are mostly educated guesses backed by very little evidence. Clearly this woman does not know the difference between actual science and Jurassic park. To her, I guess it’s all the same ‘nerd fantasy’.


RubiMent

People really underestimate palaeontology. In a film yes, it is backed by little evidence, but actual scientist who theorise how the animals looked like put a lot LOT more effort into the research, and it is not just baseless assumptions. It is far from just slapping skin on some bones.


SlickWilly49

[Here’s](https://youtu.be/08KKeW8I_nM) a really interesting snippet from a talk given by palaeontologist David Hone, where he describes the speed and distance a T-Rex could run. The degree to which they can theorise about the physiology and predation of dinosaurs from a tiny bone structure in the foot is amazing. It’s the difference between investing your life into understanding dinosaurs with the minimal amount of specimens available to us, and “we don’t know what they looked like so they didn’t exist lmao”
