Wouldn't have been so bad without it for sure.

💀

I think the animals died in the great dying 🤔

It would just have been „The Great“ without all the dying, sounds more like a good time, so I think your theory holds ground.

Genius turn it into the professor now lol

Unfortunately, too many of certain type of person uses that sentiment as an excuse to continue creating our own mass extinction event. They same to think it's normal.

No species has ever been as narcissistic as us either, WE WILL LIVE FOREVER

@@realdaggerman105 dont think so, our narcissism will be our down fall

@@hsdinoman2267Well no because no other species is as amazing as us, hence we’re gonna live forever

@@rynemcgriffin1752 somebody seems to be high off their own gases

WHO THE FUCK IS YOU?!

Yeah, there are WAYY too many "science" channels out there that are run by people who are scientifically illiterate. (And I include most science journalists in that desciption). But you dont have to have trained in the sciences to be scientifically literate... you just have to be able to review a paper and analyze the methodology. Is there a large enough sample size?if there is experimental data, how were the experiments constructed? was there a proper control? do the claims of the authors actually match the data they collected? how weak or strong is the hypothesis? are the results within the margin for error and therefore too weak to support the conclusion? Etc. And of course, like you said, the realization that science is a constantly unfolding revellation, not a dogmatic Truth... as well as the realization that nothing in science is taken as fact until the results have been independantly verified or reproduced. One paper doesnt change everything by itself.

@@patreekotime4578 yes, exactly. But these facts are either a) not known/understood by most people, even those interested in science, or b) such persons are too lazy/lacking the training in critical thinking to scrutinize the data. Just because something appears in a scientific paper doesn’t mean there is no misinformation in it or that the authors didn’t make any mistakes. That’s why science is a communal effort. No one person can know everything or change everything. Even so, many science enthusiasts (especially it seems those lovers of paleontology), sometimes act more like the “fans” of a movie/book/TV franchise, treating each new piece of data like a “leak” from the studio and speculating about the next film or season. The enthusiasm is appreciated, but we must approach science and fiction differently. How many YT videos are out there that called “What X dinosaur really sounded like” or “Allosaurus’ Sounds Reconstructed” or “new discovers turns the field on its head!” Besides the fact that no one can reconstruct the sound of an Allosaurus or that very rarely does a single discovery “rewrite history”, such videos give the false impression that we have everything figured out, that nothing is forever unknowable, or that science is a straightforward venture. Any reasonably modest person who has ever gone through proper scientific trainer or even just been very well read will tell you: the more you learn, the more you realize how little we actually know, how much more there must be to know, and that most everything-past, present, and future-will forever be unknowable. In other words, humility is essential for doing good science, and that goes for those reporting on the sciences as well.

Not to mention, “mammals” would probably look pretty different.

@@vernonfridy8416 Probably alot more synapsid groups would continue to exist to this day.

@@MrCrunch808 If the K-Pg extinction still happens the Cenozoic would possibly be the age of reptiles.

And humans who are literally the only species to remember what came long before us.

@@UnwantedGhost1 It’s less „remembering“ and more investigating or figuring out.

Death is actually kind of neutral, sometimes bad sometimes good

I think we're living through the great awesome period right now. Or great ok period

​@@nikobellic570 Great for some of us but bad for other creatures. 😅

*that's right, you know exactly what I meant by that.

You stole me the joke xD

Correction: because *_almost_* everyone died

and why are you here then

The P-T event is undoubtedly the largest extinction since the evolution of multicellular life. That's what most people envision when mass extinctions are compared in severity. The Great Oxidation Event caused a massive extinction although few people excluding scientists know about it.

We're currently in the greatest mass extinction in history.

Wouldn't say that: just doesn't get explained step-by-step well. Hard to dig into a topic when you're focused on work/survival. Don't assume you're unable to learn it, just a matter of time needed.

Nikilov & Zeller 2017 already explained how planetary climate works.

Mind sharing some of whatever you're smoking? 😅

Ye the blue meth really hits hard

Oof

9 or 10 orders went entirely extinct, 10 were greatly reduced in diversity, we’ve seen no other loss in insect diversity near that scale.

The Mild Living, perphaps?

Did you miss the part about the geology involved?

That is what makes it a perfect name: even a child can get, what it means.
