    I read that algae actually makes up more of what we know as oil than decomposed dinosaurs.

    Edit: the source of that tidbit. He does a cool demo at the beginning.

      Algae and plankton. It also obviously takes longer than a few minutes, like at least an hour.

        Fun fact: we now know for a fact that many dinosaurs could swim, including T Rex! How do we know? There are footprints that get smaller and shallower as the dinos got deeped into the water, eventually reduced to just small scratches by the tips of their claws and eventually disappearing altogether. It looks something like this:

          How do they know they weren’t taking off? Maybe they were able to fly without wings!

          Awesome fact btw

            Then there’d be one really deep print as they kicked off.

              But what if they had a organelle which generated helium and made them slowly float

                Hydrogen.

                You can’t generate helium unless you have a fusion reactor.

                Actually, nuclear powered flying T. rex sounds cool, so let’s go with it.

    Imagine if when you died you just turned back into a pile of your component materials. Leaving behind a muddy puddle.

        The rocks, in time, compress
        Your blood to oil,
        Your flesh to coal,
        Enrich the soil,
        Not everybody’s goal.
