We had known that birds are descended from dinosaurs well before the general public and the majority of paleontologists starting saying “birds are dinosaurs”. So simply saying that “we discovered that birds are descended from dinosaurs” is not sufficient to answering your question.

Traditional taxonomy allows for paraphyletic groups, meaning that not all of the descendants of the most recent common ancestor of the group are required to be in that group. So in this case, even though it was known that birds are descended from dinosaurs, they continued to be considered two separate groups, with dinosaurs being a paraphyletic group. Birds were known first, dinosaurs were later discovered and were considered a distinct group, then the link between the the two groups was discovered, but how they were grouped did not immediately change. That birds were not considered to be dinosaurs was a rather arbitrary effect based on how they were discovered and not on any scientific basis.

One book on dinosaurs from 1997 wrote:

In a phylogenetic sense, dinosaurs are not extinct, for birds are theropodan descendants (but see Feduccia 1996 for a dissenting view). For the purposes of this review, however, the term dinosaur connotes what cladists might term “non-avian dinosauromorph.” We thus (unrepentantly) use a paraphyletic rather than monophyletic (holophyletic) “Dinosauria.” Whatever the scientific merits of the latter, the former is widely understood, and avoids such circumlocutions as “non-avian dinosaur.”

A later edition of that same book from 2012 not only uses “non-avian dinosaur” extensively, it also has an entire section on birds.

So why the change? There is a trend in science to prefer cladistic classification, which requires every group to be a clade, meaning that all descendants of the most recent common ancestor of a group are in the group. This effectively means that paraphyletic grouping is being abandoned. So with cladistic taxonomy birds are dinosaurs.

There are other traditionally paraphyletic groups that are still in the process of changing. For example traditionally monkeys were a paraphyletic group, but any clade that includes all monkeys necessarily includes the apes, so in cladistics apes are monkeys. Though, you will still hear many people say ‘apes are not monkeys’. Fish was also a paraphyletic group, which included all vertebrates except tetrapods, but of course in cladistics, tetrapods are fish.

The new deaths bring the total reported so far by various countries to 577, according to an AFP tally.

The do cite their source.

At least 60 Jordanians also died, the diplomats said, up from an official tally of 41 given earlier on Tuesday by the Jordanian government.

Do you think it’s impossible that 41 people could die, reported on, and then more people die?

That’s not the ingredient list, the list is to the left, and that’s not a version number, it’s a reference to a food category system.

12.6.1 Emulsified sauces and dips
Sauces, gravies, dressings based and dips, at least in part, on a fat- or oil-in water emulsion such as salad dressing (e.g. French, Italian, Greek, ranch style), fat-based sandwich spreads (e.g. mayonnaise with mustard), salad cream, and fatty sauces and snack dips (e.g. bacon and cheddar dip, onion dip).

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”. On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

And even further back, the systematic use of rape by Zionist militias throughout the course of the 1948 war as an instrument of ethnic cleansing and dispossession led to the displacement of around 750,000 indigenous Palestinians to make room for the nascent Jewish state. Palestinian women, who are entitled to “birth the nation,” to borrow from Rhoda Kanaaneh, have been particularly targeted by this eliminationist Zionist practice, as a way of disposing of an undesirable population.

They have always been doing this, since the founding of their country.

The late, legendarily brutal campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves:

You start out in 1954 by saying, “N*****, n*****, n*****.” By 1968 you can’t say “n*****”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N*****, n*****.”

This is the foundation of the current Republican party. There is nothing redeemable.

The fresh vegetable section is the first aisle in most grocery stores that I can think of. Any fresh fruit or vegetables she got would be at the bottom.

I suspect that they knew it they would have to correct it, but did it anyway because the lie would be spread more than the correction.

If you are referring to the gemini ai model that identified a deadly mushroom as a button mushroom, then that is also google.

They are probably influenced by Christian Zionists or are Christian Zionists themselves. Their support for Israel is not to support Israelis or Jews, but to use them as pawns to bring about the second coming of Jesus and the Apocalypse.

That’s Robert Landsburg although I don’t think his photos are very famous.

The series of photos that were turned into a video were taken by Gary Rosenquist, who survived the eruption.

It’s also in the opening scene of Monty Python’s Life of Brian

This style of halos appear a lot in stained glass windows and those are in movies and tv shows often enough that most people have probably seen some.

The thing on the head

It’s a halo. Are people unaware of what halos are?

It’s a halo. He is a saint in Christianity.

In the US, the calorie used in nutrition data is actually a kilo calorie.

and therefore one kilocalorie (one large calorie) is 4184 J

In the United States, in a nutritional context, the “large” unit is used almost exclusively.

Marriages and funerals are the few occasions when non-members go to church, so the priests often use those times try to convert the people and/or get money out of them.

As a side note, Atheism@kbin.social is not larger than Atheism@lemmy.world. I suspect that you got that from looking at the subscriber count on kbin.social, which is different from the subscriber count on lemmy.world. I think they only show subscribers from the local instance, i.e. subscriber count is not federated.

That’s not likely accurate. They predicted unaffiliated in the US to be 25.6% in 2050. But it was already 29% in 2021.

Unaffiliated grew far faster than they predicted, at least in the US. It’s clear that they don’t really understand enough to make accurate predictions.
