In 174,910,000 years the human race will be as old as the dinosaurs were when they were wiped out.

They ruled the Earth 1944 times longer than we have.

And that’s ONLY if you consider us Homo sapiens 90,000 years old.

Civilization itself is arguably only 5000 years old

Welcome to the party, it’s just getting started.

Aug. 26th mind blowing random thought of the day: Teddy bears are reportedly responsible for 22 deaths every year, whereas real bears have only killed a total of 82 people in the last 90 years.

Is that 82 number only brown/black bears and only in North America or something? Between 1989-1994 there were 48 deaths from bear attacks in the state of Madhya Pradesh in India alone. Between that kind of activity, and however many of these actually check out from reputable sources, I think the number would be a lot higher.

Of course, teddy bears are still likely going to win by any stretch :wink:

Edit: Here’s a fun auxiliary random thought, since I’ve already gone down this rabbit hole:

In another study done on 137 sloth bear attacks on humans in one region of India between 1998-2000, the most common activity at the time of being attacked was defecation.

Maybe public washrooms aren’t so bad.
