          Look I just learn stuff that college teaches me okay. So decaying trees, plants and animals (dinosaurs) are the primary source of oil. Oil is being made daily based on decaying organic material. This is why the planet has so much of it.

          some of them likely did, given the current theory of how oil happens. dead organic material is dead organic material.

          there’s just more vegetation than animal matter.

        A stegosaurus cannot build microcontrollers, rocket engines or nuclear explosives. We can. But sure, some bones on your ass I guess.

    Except dinosaurs weren’t taken out and some species like chickens probably have more biomass than ever.

    I think that’s the more horrific scenario anyway - we cause a massive catastrophe but like the end of a slasher franchise, we’re still around to do it all over again.
