Did Dinosaurs Really Die Or Are They Still Living Among Us As Birds

I think that’s a rather commonly accepted course of events these days

I often wonder if over a few hundred or a thousand years ir so if chickens could be bred to be serious killing machines. Imagine what could be done with emus/ostriches over time. They’d be fucking crazy.

Is OP trying to post to the year 1986?

Man… It takes about a minute to find this out for yourself;

This isn’t a question. There is no debate around this. Your post is pure engagement bait *(and I unfortunately don’t have the strength of will to not engage due to my passion for this particular topic)*. **Birds are the only surviving lineage of Dinosauria, and are one of only two surviving groups of Archosaurs** *(with the only other living Archosaur lineage being the crocodilians)*. Specifically, Aves *(birds)* are Coelurosaurian Theropod Dinosaurs and this isn’t really a debated subject. The scientific consensus is and has been for a very long time that birds are dinosaurs, and this is supported by a ton of paleontological, genetic, and morphological evidence.

Furthermore, Aves didn’t evolve after the dinosaurs, they evolved alongside them. Birds existed at the same time as Tyrannosaurus Rex, and looked remarkably similar to some birds day, it’s just Aves was able to survive the K-Pg extinction while the non-avian dinosaurs didn’t *(due to a variety of factors, not the least of which being their small body sizes and ability to travel long distances to find food)*. Birds were just one branch of hundreds of different clades of Dinosaurs alive at the end of the Cretaceous, but they were the only ones to survive past it.

The only people shocked about this are people who don’t really know *anything* about biology. It’s not a secret, it’s well evidenced, well researched, and is actually quite a mainstream scientific fact nowadays. **Pretending like this is some brand new conversation or theory is just selling slop to the uneducated**. I have a strong dislike for people who pretend like *literal* hundred year old knowledge is somehow a fringe, debated theory. Birds are dinosaurs, this has been known for over 100 years, and has been fully accepted by the scienctific consensus for at least the last 50 years.

Please, do us all a favor, and do like a 30 second Google search next time you get the urge to post about some “mind blowing” theory. It’ll save folks like me from developing a headache from encountering your ignorance.

I have chickens… we call it the raptor house. I guess chickens are more like T-Rex, and velociraptors a precursors to eagles and ostrich.
