  1.  @user-kk6ht1id5e  What drugs are you on? I didn’t compare anyone. The drawings have been proven to be hoaxes.

  2.  @keenfire8151  I have been saying that birds are dinosaurs…

  3.  @norman4628  The drawings claimed to have been of dinosaurs have been SCIENTIFICALLY debunked. You can Google for all the proof you can handle, from actual archaeological and anthropological studies from universities, not that facts matter to you.

  4.  @norman4628  EVERY SINGLE comment from you is a question, not a statement, but every one is posed as a rhetorical question (because you don’t seek answers) and exists SOLELY to be a troll. Your whole participation in this thread is seemingly to undermine facts and the scientific method, process, and scientists themselves. You pathetic, to state it mildly.

  5.  @jjww30  When something is unequivocally proven it is called a FACT, not a theory. You need to grasp that concept. A theory doesn’t need to be proven to be a theory. Most aren’t. What makes something a theory versus a hypothesis is supporting evidence. Hypotheses are ideas, thoughts. Hypotheses are not supported by any evidence. Once some evidentiary support for a hypothesis exists, it becomes a theory. Once you have enough evidence for it to be evident (through the scientific method), it becomes a scientific fact. You think you’re the best-educated person here… I assure you, given your arguments and suppositions, that you are far from that, especially in physical sciences. The scientific method dictates this: Hypothesis -> Theory -> Fact/Fallacy There is, at this time, more than sufficient evidence for the hypothesis of this mass extinction event for it to be a theory. It is actually the leading theory among many, and for quite a while. Evidence from multiple disciplines supports this (geology, biology, paleontology, oceanography, physics and chemistry to start). In fact, once the data from this latest finding is verified by peers and published, it will likely make this a scientific fact.

  6. No. There were no months or weeks yet.

  7. How does history help or how does science?

  8.  @aarons6935  Actually, the moon’s formation was before the Earth’s formation, technically.

  11.  @1A.....  I’m just going to leave it here… For you, it is clearly “hard to think”, as you’re clearly demonstrating.

  12.  @Schnitzel_23  Crocodilians, Tuataras and snakes DID NOT come from dinosaurs, but crocodilians and dinosaurs/birds do share a common crown group Archosaurs (diapsids). Modern day birds are actual descendants of feathered dinosaurs. Tuataras and snakes, while both reptiles, came from other diapsids and lived alongside dinosaurs.

  13. Germany said their stored Leopard IIs will need at least two years of refurbishment as Germany wasn’t allowed to store tanks by law.

  14. No man… 14 are just to start. To train. There will be many more. Only 148 Challenger II are planned to be upgraded to Challenger III. That leaves 100 or so in excess.

  15. Stellar object collisions are constant, but if we’re discussing our planet as we know it, then it only formed after that collision. The planet it was before it was quite different.

  16. Dinosaurs were thousands of species that constantly died out. We are just one species of mammals. Mammals have been around longer than dinosaurs.

  17.  @sosoapy8154  Birds are dinosaurs. Many species of flying dinos survived.

  18.  @antiminer2422  We were talking about one specific person.

  19. The Sea Kings are old, but so are the Mi-17s Ukraine uses. As long as they’ve been modernized throughout the years and kept in good condition, they’ll do just fine.

  24. You THINK that? Are you sure… that you think? From your comment it seems that you don’t bother to.

  25. There isn’t a single person in Transnistria that wants it to be an independent nation. Not a one. They ALL want to be either in Moldova or Russia. Transnistria can’t survive on its own. It has no economy or resources. It’s wholly dependent on Russia.

  26. That’s funny because Russia annexed Franz Josef Land by force. It was actually discovered by Norwegian and Austro-Hungarian explorers. It has never been inhabited.
    1
  27.  @davidgriffiths7696  Except Franz Joseph Land is 360km (220 miles) north of the Russian coastline, not within the 200 mile boundary and Svalbard has a special status.

  28. Yeah… that one in a billion turns out accurate.

  29.  @ConalRF  They modernized coms, yes, but also avionics, engines, transmission, wiring, etc.

  35. Dinosaurs hurt each other too.

  36.  @TheSpenceFencer  Not just you… I agree.

  37. I call “bullshit” on this story. No more are fleeing abroad than before. Actually far fewer. Perhaps thousands want to flee, but the EU is no longer issuing visas, so they can’t, even if they wanted to.

  38.  @danielw5850  Actually no, not a fair point. Neither side has fought using maneuver warfare and neither knows anything about combined arms tactics. There is a battalion of Ukrainians currently in Germany undergoing 8 week training in combined arms by the US Army.

  39.  @namur-iq6ih  Russia still has to keep thousands of tanks and crews in case China or anyone else tries to invade. Russia is a HUGE country with HUGE borders. Also, Russia’s 1000s of tanks is a lie. It’s why took hundreds of T-64s out of storage and sent them to fight.

  40.  @danielw5850  No, you’ve pissed on yourself enough.

  41. First off, they’re EXACTLY the same age. Second, the Earth hasn’t been hit nearly as many times because our thick atmosphere protects us from most impacts.

  42. Ukraine still has hundreds of tanks in their inventory, so they don’t need all that. Even 100 Western tanks will be able to blow a large counter-offensive hole straight to Mariupol, splitting Russians into two, and lengthening the front line, which is what Ukraine needs.

  43. It likely was though.

  44. You have been. Go to Ukraine and help!

  45. There are major flaws with your reasoning. First off, flooded beings most often break down, not fossilize. Second, the impact of the asteroid would have created atmospheric temperatures so high that most beings on the surface would have baked into oblivion, leaving nothing, but carbon dust behind.

  46.  @josephnebeker7976  The oldest humanoid (not even human) fossil has been dated to between 5-7 million years old and was extremely ape-like. The oldest human (h. sapiens) remains found were dated to about 200,000 years ago.

  47.  @josephnebeker7976  You’re a moron. You have NO clue of how carbon dating (or science) works. Did you even graduate high school?

  48.  @josephnebeker7976  Fossilization happens by hard minerals replacing the space occupied by organic matter, through time, as the organic molecules break down. I’ve forgotten more on the subject than you’ll EVER know.

  49.  @Zed9659  It works EXACTLY like that.

  50.  @paul7TM  The modern Chinook has very little in common with the Chinook of the 1960s or 1970s.
