Yes, dinosaurs are defined as all descents of the last common ancestor of [blank] and [blank].
I don’t remember what the blanks were but I’m sure they would have included pterosaurs if they knew about them back than

Maybe they spoke German but with other words for dinosaurs?
They are the direct sister group. It’s kind of a definition thing. People defined dinosaurs before pterosaurs were known so they were not included
Always make falsifiable predictions and make sure they will not be falsified
I hate to repeat myself but DST is garbage. I never said it’s good
But what is the alternative? Sure, fck daylight saving. Having the date changed at noon is fucked up, too, and that’s what happens if you agree to one global time. And having countries that are too big for a time zone is fucked up as well. Russia for example actually only spans to the Ural mountains, everything to the east are colonies. Fuck states in general #nobordersnonations
Sounds like daylight saving is the bigger issue. Maybe not bigger but when you compare cost and benefit. I think the US uses even different start and end dates than the EU and I don’t know about the rest of the world
Aren’t time zones quite straightforward? You add a whole number of hours and for some a half. Compare that to a sundial on the one side and having times that don’t match your day at all on the other, I’d say it’s good
I moved to Hessen because my heart told me to do it in morse code
True. Every physical condition has a psychological root
Does she ever admit that? Because that would cause a paradox
When I’m talking about the government, I’m not talking about some shadow government like the Bundesregierung of German or the president of the US. I’m talking about the deep state government
Are you implying that pandemics are created by the government and spread by governmental drones?
Humans: colonize the global south
Also humans: live in the global south
We should stop thinking about humans, bacteria and viruses as monoliths
Someone summoned their ancestors
Is that even allowed? Because I don’t think so
Maybe you can reinterpret the legs as a outline of a structure of some kind?
I understand quite well how monophyletic clades work and I hope you understand that they are a human construct. That doesn’t mean they are wrong or bad or something, but the question you are ignoring is: Who decides what the stem dinosaur is and would the decision be the same if they know about pterosaurs? Maybe but maybe not. Now that decision is made and set in stone, there is no going back but “dinosaur” and “ornithodiran” are just words that would be swopped (again, not gonna happen anymore)
