    It seems strange to her because she’s a moron. Everything seems strange and confusing to morons.

      All of human knowledge at the tips of their fingers on their phones, yet we have more ignorance than ever.

        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

          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.

          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.

      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.

      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…

    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 won’t find paleontologists walking around with shovels, unless they’re working a site that’s already known to be a source of interesting stuff.

      I know, that annoyed me too. Especially since I love archaeology and am much less interested in paleontology.

      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.

    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.
