The English Major
Grenelda Thurber 2 years ago
I once once used the word "uvula" and was ridiculed by a male friend for using one of those "female anatomy" words. He was gay, so my first inclination was to blame his confusion on that. But then, no, you have one, dumbass. Open your mouth and look in the mirror.

Three. That snake was not the largest reptile in the age of the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were reptiles and some of them were definitely bigger than that snake.

I'm Cristian, but I'm pretty sure dinos existed as one of gods creations, they possibly still live in the garden of Eden. Maybe we decided they went extint after Adam and eve got banned after eating the apple the snake tricked them into.

It’s also Titanoboa (not Titanboa) and it lived AFTER the extinction of all land-living dinosaurs (avian dinosaurs still existed, obviously).

The second comment is very funny after you’ve read the Bible and realize there’s basically an entire ‘book/chapter’ (or… whatever you call it) completely on dinosaurs XD
Kyllein MacKellerann 2 years ago
(Sigh) The BIBLE is a political anthology intended to keep "Kings" in power by showing that God is the "Kingiest King of all Kings." It has some history, preserved as stories (that may or may not be accurate) and has some ideas that still haven't been acted on. If you're so focused on the Bible... Where's your paddle? (Go look it up, Old Testament)

Titanoboa lived Not during the time of the dinosaurs, but in the early Palaeogen, shortly after the dinosaurs.

I find it so difficult to understand people who believe the bible is fact and not a guide. If they truly understood the bible and the power of God, they would realise that man realising great achievements is all due to the way God created them, and vice versa.

Not only are both comments wrong, dinosaurs are thought to have gone extinct predominately 65 million years ago while the Titanboa is thought to have lived either from the very end of the mass extinction event or evolved a million or so years later so the original article title is a little off as well.

They didn't live during the time of the dinosaurs either, but close enough... that's the least concerning piece of information, though.

Georgia

That was a problem during the 2020 US elections if I remember. People claimed there was election fraud because of the number of votes from Georgia, the state was too high. People had Googled “the number of people in Georgia” and the country results showed. Where had the millions of extra votes come from?

i like this one better: In the beginning there was Chaos, a yawning nothingness. Out of the void emerged Gaia (the Earth) and other divine beings — Eros (love), the Abyss (part of the underworld), and the Erebus (the unknowable place where death dwells). Without male assistance, Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the Sky), who then fertilized her.

Bro Doubled Down And Had The Audacity To Tell Others To “Educate” Themselves
Spidercat 2 years ago
Yeah but no. The UK is a sovereign nation made up of three countries and one province (Northern Ireland). Great Britain is a country made up of three countries (England, Scotland and Wales). This is why, in some sporting events we compete as 'Great Britain & Northern Ireland'. Northern Ireland is NOT a country in of itself. As a British person with Irish Citizenship (Republic of Ireland). I can confirm that this shìt gets veeeeery complicated if you look into it enough... Complicated enough that the OP was neither totally correct... Or totally incorrect.
