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

@roguetrick @TheSlad I occasionally talk to groups kids or sometimes adults about dinosaurs. A lot of them are still surprised to learn that all birds actually are dinosaurs (descendants from the only lineage(s) that managed to survive the K-Pg extinction event).
Surprisingly (or perhaps not surprisingly) people’re often resistant to the idea that birds are dinosaurs, i.e. that not all dinosaurs died out. The fact that many were feathered is helping shift the paradigm

Since we are all full of microplastics, does that mean we are part dinosaur?

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!

But aren’t like 50% of cells in your body bacteria? I’d say those are considered part of you. But I get what you are saying.

Plastic is almost entirely made from plants much older then dinosaurs, but if you ate a chicken on the other hand…

Ah yes, triceratops and T-Rex.

Why not the iPad? It’s as far time wise to the Rex as the Rex is to the tops.

Are you confusing Triceratops with Stegosaurus? Triceratops and T. Rex both lived in the late Cretaceous.

Totally. I’m no Expertosaurus on this, I’d consider myself more a… Nooboraptor.
