[Rome's rightful successor]

Christianstory is a brand new youtube account that will be covering Christian theology and the church.

As an example, the Spinosaurus in Jurassic Park 3 was based on 2 fossils, 1 of which was destroyed in WWII, and one of which was a skull fragment. Spino is actually a fantastic example of this issue, as you can see how its been through like 5 different iterations of "this is what we think it was like" in the past decade.

Hasn't the number of Spino fossils discovered only jumped up to a grand total of like 6 partials? And none of them big?

Kinda schizo...

No cypher anyone would call you a faggot, even if they're the king of homosexuals living in Fagtown, San Francisco, California they would still call you a fag.

Theres like 10 ish, I've actually made a post about it in the conspiracy thread.
Its like 7 skull fragments, 2 partials (like a skull fragment and a vertebre and rib), and 1 "very complete" (mostly complete skull, several vertebrae, several ribs, some pelvic stuff and some leg bones)

and 1 "very complete" (mostly complete skull, several vertebrae, several ribs, some pelvic stuff and some leg bones)

See that's the kind of fossil that I don't have an issue with since that's most of the important bits.

Fake, should be showing Bethany.

Oh damn, Dark5 is still around?

Yup, and he has several subset channels he occasionally uploads to with different themes. Spectacular background/starting info but in the crowded YouTube space, his videos aren’t nearly as detailed/in-depth as I wish they could be. Still, one of the best listicle YT channel(s) out there.

Just today, one of Dark5's subset channels "Dark5 Ancient Mysteries" uploaded a video about ancient Vatican cover-ups. Uses a little too much AI-filler and teeters towards goyslop, but like I said before. He's one of the best listicle content creators on YouTube still and they're good starting-places to do your own research:

When you educate thousands of paleontologists each year then they have the option of becoming educators themselves, internet clowns, or writing academic papers where you just make shit up.

Or all three at once.

 

[Among Us Gaming]

Not quite.
In paleontology, its either writing papers (legit or not, mostly legit) or, describing fossils.
Papers vary, but typically their content is describing what species/family/phylla/etc a creature belongs to, guessing at a size, investigating feeding habits, etc. (For example in a recent study, those therein studied a bunch of white shark skeletons to develop a vertebrae-to-size-ratio and then applied it to megladon)
A fossil description is where a paleontologist looks at a given fossil, and formally and scientifically describes it (it has these bones it in this condition, we think it was [x] age, died in [x] way, etc.)

The problem with paleontology, is that at the end of the day, its guesswork. Talented and educated guesswork maybe, but guesswork. When you account for the fact that most fossils consist of very few bones (that previously mentioned spino fossil is like 20 bones of 200 some total), and that there is no flesh, the discipline of paleontology is a lot more guesswork than they're willing to admit. Things change so often, not because the field is full of hacks, but becuase its just a bunch of educated guesses. What complicates things is that dinosaurs have no real living analogs; even crocodiles are more distant cousins than anything close. Whereas we can look at elephants to get an idea as to how mammoths may have lived, or modern day monitor lizards to understand how megalainia may have lived, we have nothing to guess at dinosaurs.

birbs?

 

[Among Us Gaming]

birbs?

Maybe as a halfway behavioral analog, and even then that mostly serves carnivores.

I hope this counts, I think its pretty neat. Kinda insane how you can relive such a momentous day through youtube.

 

[grump]

Tempted to block 'Sleepless Historian' because I detest the unnerving AI thumbnails. Why can't he use the images he does in the actual videos? Or I suppose it gets attention.

Around 9/11 I will always read forums from the day it happened such as SA and Newgrounds even though you cant hear the voices while reading you just know the people typing are both confused and terrified.

edit: found the newgrounds thread. and the SA thread too

Seeing the forums shows how terrified people can be but also how they could come together in solidarity. I do wish we see a return to the old watermarks like "Demon Love Army" and "Black Science Institute", those were fun.
