          💅 lmao I’m not and birds are dinosaurs technically by virtue of sharing a lot of bone structure and evolutionary traits passed down through little bird like dinosaurs.

          Personally though I’d argue its reductive to look at a pigeon and go “lmao tiny dinosaur” because 65 million years of evolution and divergence didn’t apparantly happen just because they have dino feet.

          I’ve flown too close to the sun trying to get this Chud to realise his redditor comment about OPs title read like unnecessary reddit pedantry that contributes and accomplishes nothing but instead I think I’ve just made myself out to be a science denier 😭

            TBF, dinosaurs were around for over 100 million years before the K-T boundary and diverging from each other the entire time. The time that separates birds from their ancestors is less than the time that divided ornithischians and saurischians by the end and we consider all of those definitely dinosaurs.

            Because you literally are denying science.

            And what indicates he’s a chud? The fact that he’s on a different instance?

            And it’s not pedantic or a “redditor comment”, it’s a dude sharing a cool fact he thought others would like.

            Shit like this is part of why autistic people have trouble socializing. We just wanna share cool facts and you act like we’re being assholes for it and use that as an excuse to be assholes in return.

        No, not all theropods were feathered. There were extinct non-feathered theropods, as well as those with feathers only in youth. All of the currently living theropods are feathered, but this was not always the case.
