Not news but I've never even heard of a cassowary before. These fucking things are intense

that comment that birds are not descended from dinosaurs, but rather actuallly ARE dinosaurs is just stupid. whether they are or not just depends on whatever definition of dinosaur you choose to use. and as far as i understand there is no universally used definition

If there is no universally used definition, then it's all fine and dandy to call them dinosaurs. You invalidated your own point.

no i didnt, you just missed my point



if theres no universally clear agreed upon definition of dinosaurs, then "birds are not descended from dinosaurs, but rather actuallly ARE dinosaurs" is a stupid meaningless statement. for it to make sense requires there to be a preagreed upon notion of what a dinosaur is.
