What if the Dinosaurs still were wandering the earth

[GregB0Participant]

Following alternative history, would the plant be a better place without the rise of Homo Sapiens? Or would we be better off if France had not invaded Russia in 1812? Of if DC was the primary electrical power transmission over AC? Of if women were not granted rights and privilege?

Yep, this is tangential to the current Zoom Webconference going on now.

Hillary is still here. Just about. So I’d say that answers your thread title.

Dinosaurs DO still roam the earth, only they’re not called dinosaurs anymore. They’re called big government and they swallow people whole.

Ac was chosen because Edison showed it to be more effective at frying death penalty recipients.

I would like to meet a T rex.

Id like to shake his hand…better bring a step ladder!!!

LOL! Now you know how I feel when these roaming millenials look at my car with the stick shift and say, “What’s that?”

Had it wrong..

Edison wanted dc. His argument was that it killed elcectric chair dudes faster and more humanely.

He lost.

Now they fry slowely…

Been there. Factory accident. Yikes!!!

For us men it would be a biological marvel; for c~~~s, however, just another list on the c~~~ carousel.

I remember a scifi short story where game hunters went back to hunt T-Rex’s … did not go well for the Alpha Big Game Hunter! 🙂

So poor old Edison is not remembered incorectly.

He was Against the Death Penalty.

Wanted it to be Humane if it was going to be used for that.

Plus he wanted to reap the benifets of His invention.

No dinosaurs spotted here lately, but I’ve been hearing some strange noises at night deep in the forest close to where I live. Others have heard them too. It sounds like crying. I was talking with my Amish neighbor and he thinks it’s the cougars. Others think it’s some different type of large feral cat. It’s a very rugged expanse that goes on for miles and I wouldn’t recommend the uninitiated currently explore it without a knowledgeable guide and a gun .. any time, night or day until t they find out what’s going on in there. Personally, I tend to think it’s probably several cat-like animals called Fishers. They aren’t really cats and and aren’t the largest animals – probably under fifteen pounds, but they have been known to attack humans and bite badly. They usually hunt porcupines. They have a loud shriek cry that travels a long way and that sounds fairly similar to a Tasmanian Devil.

If dinosaurs still roamed around, we as humans wouldn’t be here, because we would be their dinner.

RE7, you and I would have been pushing people towards them of course. My list is very long and unfortunately for others, my name is not on my list!

Ive dealt with some urban cougars in my day. Theyre dangerous too!

With the help of transformers and the merucry arc rectifier – two things which neither Tesla nor Edison either invented or saw the need for – AC can be transmitted long distances while DC cannot.

Electrification along Edison’s lines (no pun intended) would have resulted in hundreds of thousands of small power plants feeding relatively small distribution grids. When Edison first began to electrify portions of NYC, his use of DC meant he was forced to build generations stations almost every other city block.

Without AC, electricity would be an “urban” thing much like the gas lighting systems electric lights replaced.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

We’ve fisher cats in New Hampshire, in fact our minor league baseball team is named for them.

They’re extremely nasty little bastards and I’d rather come across a black bear sow with cubs than a fisher cat. Fortunately, they’re the apex predator for their particular slice of the biome so a lot of territory is needed to support even a small number of them.

We’ve been having increasingly trouble with a mixture coyotes and feral dogs, so much so that there’s a professional hunter bounty on them as with feral hogs in the US southeast. A couple years back a pack moved through an area where some of my relatives live; about 10 houses along ~ 4 miles of dirt road. In about a week, they picked off most of the pet cats, took down a few pet dogs, and began f~~~ing with the horses at a riding/training stable.

One neighbor of my relatives was out for an early morning run an came across the pack crossing the road maybe a 1/4 mile away from him. The damn things stared him down and even followed him part way home when he backed away. After the incident with the jogger, a couple locals with some game wardens spent a few days making a sweep, shot 2 or 3, shot at several more, and “convinced” the pack to move along.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

The Dinosaur and Magafauna apex predators, along with the historic ice ages, would have certainly made humanities rise to ascendency very difficult, if not impossible.
