Maybe I remember it incorrectly, but isn't most of the oil actually from plants far older than dinosaurs?

[–] Mniot@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Dead plants from before there were decomposers who could properly devour the corpses. Oil is lich-ferns

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

You are correct.

Which should make sense if anyone stops to think what kind of weird pile of dinosaurs in one spot would be required to be condensed into millions of barrels of oil.

Oh yeah, I think most of it is Carboniferous trees, technically the chicken nuggets are more accurate

I have long said that the dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets are great because they precisely (though inaccurately) depict what they are made of. I'm glad to see I'm not alone in noticing that.
