Sharks are older than trees.

They're older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.

Sharks are older than trees.

But are younger than the mountains.

Yellowstone

Well....

The geologic processes that led to the formation of the Appalachian Mountains started 1.1 billion years ago.

There's no shark without Mountain Mama

Ehhhh they're younger than some mountains though. There are ranges that are over a billion years old, but the Himalayas are "only" some 40-70 million years old, depending on when you start counting (40-50 if you actually start from being mountains, 70 if you start from "ground moves up")

They're mountains when it's impressive that I can throw a football over them.

Sharks are older than the grinning bobcat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

But are they older than why he grins?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Some of it.

I refuse to believe any animal is older than doritos

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

No they are wrong. Doritos are eternal.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

What do you think the first several hundreds of millions of years were like before they had Doritos?

Appendages? Like, fins?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

He's thinking of penguins

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like appendix I imagine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Aren't appendages external?
