    There are some Dino footprints out by Denver that are ~110 mya. When they were made the ground was a flat seashore, and now those prints are over a mile high and at a 50* incline. The earth is so changeable over long periods of time, and it really puts into perspective the microscopic length of time humanity has existed.

    Thinking about it just how long 100 million years is, and also how short it is, is the closest I’ve come to an ‘intellectual’ ego death
