itt: pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving meteor

"Changing Nature" Tom Trbovich Kirk Thatcher July 20, 1994 D365
The family prepares to celebrate the return of the Bunch Beetles, who arrive back on Pangaea every May 14th to eat the rapidly growing Cider Poppies. This year, however, they fail to arrive and it soon emerges that WESAYSO built a wax fruit factory on top of their mating ground and killed the species. Without the Bunch Beetles to eat them, the Cider Poppies quickly begin to overrun the continent. More concerned with bad publicity than any threat to the ecosystem, B.P. Richfield chooses Earl to take care of the problem. Earl, eager to quickly get rid of the poppies instead of looking for a long-term solution, chooses to spray everywhere with defoliant. Although this succeeds in getting rid of the Cider Poppies, it also manages to destroy all plant life on the entire planet. Deciding that rain is needed to bring back the plants, Richfield decides to drop bombs in every volcano, reasoning that the clouds they produce will bring the rain. Instead the volcanoes produce thick black clouds, blocking out the sun and plunging the planet into an ice age. Earl finally realizes what a mistake he made by tampering with nature and taking it for granted, however it is too late. He apologizes to his family for ending the world, but promises that dinosaurs won't just disappear. The Sinclairs agree that they'll remain a family no matter what happens, as the house begins to be buried by snow.

if you need to kill a couple hours here's an arguably not-terrible video about why we all think a asteroid dunnit (answers: 1. because it did and 2. carl sagan was scared of getting nuclear bombed and 3. brains love simple story structure [although science, ideally, does not] and and and and)

(also the video creator was forced to visit swindon and he seems to have been scarred by the experience, which has left me perversely intrigued. "swindon." it sounds ominous, like an evil place made up by a children's author)

It’s kinda nutty to think that if something like that would happen there’d be a short minute window or whatever where people would be able to watch TikTok, instagram live feeds, etc. of idiot’s live posting moments before they’re vaporized (and soon to be the person viewing the post).
