Well.. that timeline does match up better with Jesus riding a velociraptor

Don't blame the land fish. If it had stayed underwater we'd just be having meetings there.

Wrong, it was a prawn

As a clarification, the real time line is like 400 million years ago or so

Put a pin in that and we'll circle back to it.

Yeah, some asshole fish climbed out of the ocean 35 million years ago and now we have time as a concept.

That's why they call a group of fish a school.

Hang on, I’ll run it up the flag pole

35 million?

Oh no, I’m glad they did. You see, I've had issues with my bladder recently too. I believed it was an infection, but if his doctor says it was just some irritation, maybe so it is for me too. I just wish I knew what medicine he got prescribed. I guess I’ll have to hope it clears up on its own.

Yeah yeah. If only some asshole mud puddle hadn't decided to come alive we'd all have been spared so much trouble. 🙄

Covid proved this often superfluous content can either be in an email or consumed from home on Teams, with a peppy chat sidebar.

There’s a new manager who keeps trying to make them in person. She was angry only 4 people out of 40 showed up to the last one.

Lady, I’m not here to validate your power point creation. That, and I can watch your little slide show at home, in yoga pants, with hot tea, while watching deer out my window.

As the British so aptly put it: sod off.

@ivanafterall@lemmy.world

you dry bitch!

In a parallel universe: staff meetings, but underwater.

Can we just go back in time and evolve into a crab instead

It was likely a her

It's important, it puts the first patr in context.

Admittedly, we are now significantly less likely to be dismembered by much larger fish.

Meanwhile, whales.

What does that have to do with the nineteen ninety-eight Hell in a Cell match?

*forward in time

Just be patient. It's inevitable.

I'll run you up my flagpole 😏

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Some Gen Z is furious about this.

Or 8 foot sea scorpions.

Nah, the fish crawled out of the ocean just to escape some bullshit meeting with the other fish.

Thanks to *her

We did it Lemmy

It was the same with the trees. There’s no escaping.

🤣🤣

Some of the fish were smart enough to get back into the water. We weren't. It's on us.

Understandable really

Whales and dolphins at least managed to save themselves.

It's why we put so much money into space travel. You can do pretty much everything you need to do with robots, but that's not the point. The point is to get out of bullshit meetings.

"Houston is on comms and wants to discuss the status of the mission". Fuck it, let's fly this thing into the nearest black hole.

350 million would be closer.

A whole ass-fish

Or, in the case of whales, drown and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

You're off by a couple zeroes.

Just one really...

Dinosaurs existed like 700M YBP right?

Nope. The first land vertebrate evolved about 340MYA. 700MYA was a whole lot of nothing. The first plants and fungi to colonize land evolved about 440MYA. Before then, the earth probably looked a lot like Mars. It wasn't until mosses and lichen came along that we even got dirt instead of sand/gravel. Dinosaurs didnt really show up until 250MYA
