Dinosaurs -> chickens
Chickens -> pulverized chicken paste
Pulverized chicken paste -> dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets
I don’t think we have the technology yey to create dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. The ones I have seen usually are shaped like nondescript blobs.
It is possible, but it’s wasteful and expensive.
Dinosaurs = Chickens
Therefore dinosaur shaped dinosaur nuggets
Ackchually, oil is mostly from plant matter.

Does Oil Come From Dinosaur Fossils?
It’s a commonly spread fiction that oil comes from dinosaurs because when people hear fossils, their brains immediately jump to dinosaurs. However, that’s not the case.
The truth may be less exciting to some, but oil and other fossil fuels are not actually formed from the remains of dinosaurs. The oil we’re drilling and pumping to the surface as fuel is formed from diatoms, small organisms such as algae and bacteria that lived long before dinosaurs even existed. Source
A more entertaining source:
We need to induct Randal into the wholesome four at some point.
Edit: typo
Induct? Or has he committed a crime I’m not aware of?
The crime of being wholesome and helping other people!!
Ok, autocorrect hates me. Thanks for pointing that out.
I am under the impression that’s coal.
Oil is from sea life. Though I did read that in the 80s so entirely possible its nonsense.
Nah, coal is plant matter too.
Trees from before anything existed that could break down wood
I guess algae and bacteria are close to plants.
How close? Like cousins or Alabama cousins?
Louisiana cousins I believe.
Yes and no. They’re both hydrocarbons.
Coal is organic matter from dry land, so typically plants.
Oil is from organic matter that fell to the ocean floor, so microbial life, algae and the like.
But both are from and end up as the same types of organic molecules. Carbon and hydrogen.
Wow ok that’s cool… so then every* oil well is in a place that historically was underwater?
Yes. A lot of such places are still below the seabed, hence off-shore oil-rigs.
Yes, specifically shallow seas that are so rich that they go anoxic. Without oxygen, the organisms don’t break down and just accumulate.
Can Texas just go back to being a shallow anoxic sea?
Please?
And non-plants like algae and bacteria.
Following the flow chart I came to the conclusion that plastic dinosaurs are real dinosaurs.
restorationActually, it’s mostly plancton.
Let’s make microplancton plastic toys.
Wait. What about microplastics in the oceans ?
They will become new oil in a million years.
They won’t. There are bacteria that eat plastic. There is no path* to creating oil or coal again, biology is too good at breaking hydrocarbon precursors
*Except by deliberate human industry
If enough greenhouse gasses get released by this breakdown of hydrocarbons, and the temperature rises enough, the oceans may stop circulating and loose all their oxygen. The resulting die off and anoxic environment might be enough to form a massive new layer of tar and proto-oil with some luck.
Stage Three: The sign marks the absence of basic reality. The image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists.
And thus Philosoraptor was born
The circle of life is really about the CO2 we make along the way
Since we are all full of microplastics, does that mean we are part dinosaur?
Plastic is almost entirely made from plants much older then dinosaurs, but if you ate a chicken on the other hand…
Does mechanically separated chicken count?
I’d say no, because the microplastics aren’t really a part of our DNA. But that’s just my definition.
I think we could say that we all have dinosaurs inside us, just like our pesky skeletons.
Does it need to be part of your DNA?
If I weigh 99 Kg, and I eat 1 Kg of ravioli, I am 1% ravioli.
Like I said, it’s just the way I feel about it. Yours is a compelling argument though, and honestly more fun!
I thought this was a guide to the game “Workers and Resources: Society Republic”
I must be playing it too much…
I just picked that up in the summer sale! Looking forward to playing it.
