Also, new here, how do yáll normally capture posts longer than a full screen, cause chopping them up into multiple screenshots looks bad to me.

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

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

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

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.
