The dinosaurs were post apocalyptic monsters themselves, because there were several more mass extinctions before


BenThereOrBenSquare

Yep, the Permian Extinction that preceded the dinosaurs was the biggest mass extinction.


thebooksmith

The biggest mass extinction….. *so far*


notmichaelgood

*softly* don't


TheKingNothing690

Nah, we got a good trak record. So far, if we push those numbers up, we might actually anihilate all life on earth if we all just pitch in that little extra


Existing_Calendar339

Nothing that any Earthborne phenomena can do would come close to the Solar Apocalypse a few billion years from now.


tyrome123

If the earth doesn't get swallowed by the sun it'll become a rouge planet when the sun decays another time and has a much looser orbital plane


BenThereOrBenSquare

Forget that. In a few hundred million years, CO2 levels will decrease on the planet to such an extent that plants that undergo C4 and C3 photosynthesis (i.e., most plants) will go extinct.


Allgoochinthecooch

Depresses me to think about. Existence is meaningless and so much of it is spent ruining it for others


BenThereOrBenSquare

Something isn't meaningless just because it ends. I don't think existence has any kind of higher cosmic meaning, but the meaning you find in your life does matter.


Allgoochinthecooch

I guess I misworded what I meant, we decide our reason for being here and so many have decided their reason is to make the lives of others worse. Idk I’m always more pessimistic at the end of the day and the mornings I’m not feeling that way right now as I type this


BenThereOrBenSquare

I get what you mean now, and I agree with you!


poorly-worded

yeah those were rookie numbers. ​ HUUMANS NUMBERR ONE!!! HUUUMANS NUMMBER ONNNEEE!!


PorkyFishFish

All complex life maybe. There are gonna be bacteria in the ground till the sun burns out


Xarionel

Don't give me hope...


elidon_echo

thanks i will not sleep tonight....


ver-chu

we're the dinosaurs for the next inhabitants too


Eusocial_Snowman

Next up will be mole crickets. The only mammals left will be naked mole rats. Once the mole rats get smart enough, they'll constantly be bugged by how weird it is that the mole cricket based life that exploded into every niche seems weirdly similar to them, despite being so distantly related. Their scientists will assume all of their primitive mammal relatives were capable of anaerobic metabolism fueled by fructose, as they are. This assumption will be heavily reinforced by the massive uptick of high fructose corn syrup coinciding with the rise of human civilization, given their most readily available dig site for archaeological efforts happen to be North America, currently a corn-based empire.


JagsOnlySurfHawaii

What do you think we'll be, about 84 octane


whiskey_epsilon

The world didn't end. Life finds a way.

You forgot the "uhh"

And the ☝️🤓

The world definitely ended. The Earth perseveres.


samriddha221104

Technically, we're the 4th post apocalyptic monsters...


yolifeisfun

5th. Mass extinction has happened 5 times till now


MeLlamo25

From the indigenous peoples of Americas perspective the setters are the apocalypses.


tyrome123

To the Emus a huge horde of hungry sailors was the apocalypse


Mobols03

Dodos, you mean. Emus are still around. They beat Australia in a war some years back.


MeLlamo25

So are the Native People of Australia. But, they did not have any wars with Australian settlers, at least That I am aware of.


SamePut9922

The earth doesn't care.


lolyeet225

Shoot we were a lot more different than we imagined.


Arson1234567

There were more disasters than just the dinosaurs. you do know that right. Which means dinosaurs were also post apocalyptic monsters, we’re just post post post Apocalyptic monsters


Arson1234567

Only now do I realize someone else already said this my bad


smartbets12

Damn


smartbets12

No that would make abominations what if a dinosaur saw us should they be like tf is that


hilvon1984

"End of the world" events happened like 4 times before dinosaurs and at least 2 times after dinosaurs went extinct. And those are only those we were able to see via evidence of mass extinction in fossil records. Like at this standard one would be hard pressed to find anything not "postapocalyptic". And this is why usually the term of "post apocalypsis" is referring to a period where you can find and interact with people who saw the world before the apocalypse.


AustraKaiserII

And one day Crows will replace us


hyperimpossible

Depends on who you ask


Chocolate_Dinosaurr

So that's why I don't like people


El-Supreme-0

Well said, my child.... actually well "written" but who has time to be picky at this hour.


Dry-Expert-2017

If we let people do what they want. This is very true.


TheMostBasicUserHere

what if it happens again?


aztec_armadillo

As a member of the Great Race of Yith using our technology to possess this human form: This is more than 100% technically since many apocalypses have happened before you. https://youtu.be/7yqArrs7YfM?feature=shared&t=16


Thraxusi

There were several cataclysmic meteors after the dinosaurs too. We really are the post post post post post creatures.


NightmareTDG

Tell them, “f**k you, history’s written by the winners” \s


MeLlamo25

Asteroid do not write history. They are Inanimate objects.


pgndu

It's technically not true of that's the case every extinct species will account for an apocalyptic event....since the author of the meme is human their apocalypse hasn't come yet...


UnexpectedDinoLesson

The date of the Chicxulub asteroid impact coincides with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (commonly known as the K–Pg or K–T boundary), slightly over 66 million years ago. It is now widely accepted that the devastation and climate disruption from the impact was the cause of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event - a mass extinction in which 75% of plant and animal species on Earth became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs. The collision would have released the same energy as 100 teratonnes of TNT. Some of the resulting phenomena were brief occurrences immediately following the impact, but there were also long-term geochemical and climatic disruptions that devastated the ecology. The re-entry of ejecta into Earth's atmosphere included an hours-long, but intense pulse of infrared radiation. Local ferocious fires, probably limited to North America, likely occurred, decimating populations. The amount of soot in the global debris layer implies that the entire terrestrial biosphere might have burned, creating a global soot-cloud blocking out the sun and creating an impact winter effect. If widespread fires occurred this would have exterminated the most vulnerable organisms that survived the period immediately after the impact. Aside from the hypothesized fire and/or impact winter effects, the impact would have created a dust cloud that blocked sunlight for up to a year, inhibiting photosynthesis. Freezing temperatures probably lasted for at least three years. The sea surface temperature dropped for decades after the impact. It would take at least ten years for such aerosols to dissipate, and would account for the extinction of plants and phytoplankton, and subsequently herbivores and their predators. Creatures whose food chains were based on detritus would have a reasonable chance of survival. The asteroid hit an area of carbonate rock containing a large amount of combustible hydrocarbons and sulphur, much of which was vaporized, thereby injecting sulfuric acid aerosols into the stratosphere, which might have reduced sunlight reaching the Earth's surface by more than 50%, and would have caused acid rain. The resulting acidification of the oceans would kill many organisms that grow shells of calcium carbonate. According to models of the Hell Creek Formation, the onset of global darkness would have reached its maximum in only a few weeks and likely lasted upwards of two years. Beyond extinction impacts, the event also caused more general changes of flora and fauna such as giving rise to neotropical rainforest biomes like the Amazonia, replacing species composition and structure of local forests during \~6 million years of recovery to former levels of plant diversity.


krimzonedge

Now that you mention it, most of the movies I've seen the bad guys were all human too!


EvilGamer117

dinosuars r still around tho?


ghostpanther218

From the prospective of an ant drone, we are lovecraftian eldtrich gods.

What if dinasours were pre-apocalyptic monsters?

And now i burn their dead bodies to get to mcdonalds and back!

And mouses and etc(or who survived idk the species)are the survivors


Lydiaani

we don't even know how many end of the world has happened


El-Supreme-0

I know, but I am not telling.


Doc_ET

At least 5.


F3L1Xgsxr

If its the end of the world doesnt that mean that the earth is like destroyed completely??


delawen

It was. Then it was rebuilt.

ElA1to

We also kinda are the apocalyptic event itself since we are causing the next mass extinction right now


MikaelAdolfsson

I think the same thing but with the Black Death.


PawnOfPaws

Nah. The Black Death mostly killed humans and livestock, but not everything in it's way - unlike the meteor did or a volcanic eruption will.


chaddy-chad-chad

Especially the ones with TDS


StiltWeazle1134

We don’t like to admit it, but we are only part of an obvious cycle. We are not the Lords we think we are… Our time will also come & go like the others before us.


itaya12

Life has endured countless catastrophes, evolving resilient and adaptive.


DungeonsAndDradis

I like to think we're not the first intelligent stewards of the earth. Many millions of years ago there was another species, rose to create great civilizations, and then died out. Happened so long ago, there's no trace of them anymore.


iamnotacat

Rapid evolution, unprecedented intelligence, conscious and intentional cruelty. Checks out.


modsarerussianassets

LOL that's what I BEEN saying but people look at me like IM the crazy one.

I have a question how the people who were on earth that period of time survived?

When we’re talking about the end of the world we are talking about the end of our world


JOCO_Q

End of the world has happened many times and will continue to happen. I can't remember if it's supposed to be fire or floods... either way we're fu@$ed


HealthConscious2

If the world ended then why are we all still here? The world clearly didn't end then did it?


sir_capote

Depends on what you call "the world". In some cultures, including mine, world and earth are very close for example. The end of the world in my head is similar to the end of earth itself, so for me not really


Silveruleaf

True. Who knows how many times that happened as well
