This is dumb. Dinosaurs looks are so diverse. He should have chosen a specific one.
At least narrow it down to clade, like just Theropods or something.
Dinosaur fish!
That’s like saying Huckleberry Finn doesn’t exist. Just because it’s made-up doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It exists as a concept which billions of people understand.
I think it is pretty clear in the context of the joke that they weren’t saying the concept doesn’t exist they were saying the attributes of the concept doesn’t exist.
The Sun’s position on the ecliptic at the vernal equinox is not a “concept”, it’s a physical reality, recognised by the International Astronomical Union.
And the astrology signs exist as a concept as recognized by thousands of years of human history dating back to Babylonia 2 BCE. Yes we understand that they’re likely completely bogus, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
This thread is so dumb. The signs, and the Sun’s progression through them, are as real as anything else in the sky.
Oh. I wanna steal this.
You don’t have to steel it. It’s a virtual picture. You can download it and share it with everyone, as often as you like, whenever you want. There’s no cost attached in sharing data other than hardware and energy
Yep, OP stole this meme.
But…you mean…my nfts?

I like your username. Do you mind sharing where it comes from?
Shit. Then who I have been mailing my money to?
Np, OP also stole it
I would argue that the zodiac is the proto-science of psychology.
This is people trying to find behavioral patterns
Faulty pattern recognition isn’t something we should be holding on to.
The problem is that we still don’t have a proper pattern recognition. We could discard all the soft sciences such as Economics, Sociology or Psychology.
What hard sciences could replace economics and sociology? They’re not very rigorous, but they seem to be useful. Psychology also takes some load off psychiatrists
Astrology is also useful.
So is palm reading; for grifters.
Fuck those people who wanna categorize me so they can ignore who I actually am and just put a handle on me.
They want to understand you
No they don’t. They want to put me in a neat little box for easy handling.
Then they should talk to me, rather than rely on generalizations that were created a couple of thousand years ago and revived by new age mystics.
I just did a quick search and the difference between seeing astrology talk about fate vs personality is at least 1200 years apart.
Economic Science is also about fate
Cough… science…cough
Turns out you can make up any arbitrary distinctions and they just start existing. The question is if they severe any useful purpose.
I can make zodiac 2.0 exist by adding shoe size to distinguish between regular aquarius and aquarius without platypus (above EU 42 is with). So now the Zodiac 2.0 exists with the same predictive power as 1.0.
zodiac 2.0
Already kind of a thing, since the constellations the zodiacs were based on have moved since they were “decided”, and no longer match what people continue to use:

Considering how the universe is full of stuff circling around stuff circling around stuff circling around… the zodiac signs have moved over the last couple of millenias.
Dinosaurs don’t exist?!
As a zodiac sign, no they do not.
Isn’t it about time we do something about that? I’m going to write to my congressman.
But dragons do?
Botanically, dragons are dinosaurs but not the other way around. Most dinosaurs were not dragons.
Botanically speaking, that’s bananas.
Which is my zodiac sign by the way
No, only ambiguous bones that could be anything and are interpreted to be dinosaurs by old earth creationists making you believe the earth is older than a millennium. Most bones are actually from giants, unicorns and centaurs depending on the color.
Wait only a millennium?
Does this mean Jesus didn’t really exist and his existence is a trick by God to test our faith?
He lived, obviously, but some years after him were counted twice
Whatevs more freaky rock ladies for me
Don’t in crazy. Listen to your elders junior.
While most zodiac signs are inspired by real animals, wtf is an “aquarius”?
An age. I heard a song about it.
That made me spit out my coffee🤣
You’re missing out on some wild pussy.
Ophiuchus
Bless you
The actual signs exist (get yourself a planisphere or a stargazing app, find some dark skies, and discover them for yourself!), it’s just all the magic personality nonsense associated with them is bullshit.
That’s Capricorn is it? https://piped.video/watch?v=WIjBO26qjYM (Life of Brian - 3 wise men)
