Yes, dinosaurs are defined as all descents of the last common ancestor of [blank] and [blank].
I don’t remember what the blanks were but I’m sure they would have included pterosaurs if they knew about them back than

Maybe they spoke German but with other words for dinosaurs?
They are the direct sister group. It’s kind of a definition thing. People defined dinosaurs before pterosaurs were known so they were not included
I hate to repeat myself but DST is garbage. I never said it’s good
But what is the alternative? Sure, fck daylight saving. Having the date changed at noon is fucked up, too, and that’s what happens if you agree to one global time. And having countries that are too big for a time zone is fucked up as well. Russia for example actually only spans to the Ural mountains, everything to the east are colonies. Fuck states in general #nobordersnonations
Sounds like daylight saving is the bigger issue. Maybe not bigger but when you compare cost and benefit. I think the US uses even different start and end dates than the EU and I don’t know about the rest of the world
Aren’t time zones quite straightforward? You add a whole number of hours and for some a half. Compare that to a sundial on the one side and having times that don’t match your day at all on the other, I’d say it’s good
I moved to Hessen because my heart told me to do it in morse code
True. Every physical condition has a psychological root
Does she ever admit that? Because that would cause a paradox
My greatest fear would be to slide and roll down and I would try to get up as quickly as possible out of anxiety but to each their own I guess
If I remember correctly, the very first fade out was at a live performance included the orchestra to physically leave the room
I will never vote Democrats!
Since I do not intend to move to the US but I vote the lesser of several evils here in Europe
No, merge the 8h work with the 8h sleep. Gives you: 8h sleep at work/8h participate in democratic structures and 8h free time, to modify SRSLY WRONG’s 4/4/4 proposal
No, I wasn’t ironic. It’s not wrong to think of these dilemmas, paradoxes and ideas as memes. Memes are not only pictures
I love how you call them memes. These are things philosophers talked about long before the word meme had its modern day meaning, even before it was coined in the first place. But in a way, yes, they are all memes
When I’m talking about the government, I’m not talking about some shadow government like the Bundesregierung of German or the president of the US. I’m talking about the deep state government
I understand quite well how monophyletic clades work and I hope you understand that they are a human construct. That doesn’t mean they are wrong or bad or something, but the question you are ignoring is: Who decides what the stem dinosaur is and would the decision be the same if they know about pterosaurs? Maybe but maybe not. Now that decision is made and set in stone, there is no going back but “dinosaur” and “ornithodiran” are just words that would be swopped (again, not gonna happen anymore)
