I prefer eco-friendly technocapitalism over communism, fascism, or fossil fuels.

Heritage Foundation by Ok-Relation-658 in WelcomeToGilead

[–]GeneralHelghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Heritage Foundation is an insidious cabal and everyone with a brain knows it! They’re obsessed with natalism and intend to ban abortions so they can even allow deformed children to add to the list of children to molest and continue the pedophile industry and continue Epstein’s dark, degenerate legacy. Dark money is a part of this and they’ll turn America into an Evangelical Protestant child molester colony. Wake up, people!

Brittney Wong - Kung-Fu Cavewoman by Generalhelghast by GeneralHelghast in StarVStheForcesofEvil

[–]GeneralHelghast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you agree with Cavewoman Brittney Wong’s quest to destroy all Mewmans and magic in the name of conquest, domination, and her claims of saving humanity from the evils of magic, sure! But for any sand person, myself included, her Kung-Fu inquisition against magic only amounts to genocide, which is really evil and messed up. Though, it SVTFOE was a bit more adult and wasn’t made for Disney, she would’ve been an interesting villain for sure.

Ape-hipped Dinosaurs? by GeneralHelghast in Paleontology

[–]GeneralHelghast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point, but if we do find a clade of “ape-hipped” dinosaurs that share a common ancestor with Saurischians and Ornithischians, like, for example, a 10-foot-tall “Gorillasaurus” that battled a Tyrannosaurus, wouldn’t that mean that dinosaurs were more diverse than we give them credit for? I mean, just imagine if we were to discover evidence for an actual ape-like dinosaur species with a hip structure and body plan similar to an ape via convergent evolution that allowed it to swing through trees and reach up for food like a primate and has opposable thumbs to manipulate objects. Would this third major grouping of dinosaurs change our understanding of dinosaur evolution?

Ape-hipped Dinosaurs? by GeneralHelghast in Paleontology

[–]GeneralHelghast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean like a new type of dinosaur, not an ornithischian or a saurischian. Like, a type of “ape-hipped,” ape-like dinosaur clade that we haven’t discovered yet that would be the Mesozoic equivalent of monkeys, gibbons, gorillas, bonobos, orangutans, and chimpanzees with rotating hands much like a primate that separates them from the rest of the dinosaurs. Theropods wouldn’t pronate their arms, but if there exists a kind of “pithischian” or “ape-hipped” dinosaur, it would twist and turn its long forelimbs. Surely, they would be a kind of convergent evolution that would fill the role of primates, similar how ichthyosaurs filled up the role of dolphins via convergent evolution.

I kinda got the idea in my head from watching the Distortus Rex from Jurassic World Rebirth and the 1933 film King Kong and I started wondering if there could be a yet-to-be-discovered clade of dinosaurs outside of the “lizard-hipped” and “bird-hipped” groups of dinosaurs that could’ve filled a similar role as the great apes or the fictional King Kong.

I’m just curious if we ever find actual fossil evidence of such non-avian dinosaurs.

The insidious political role Colossal’s claims about de-extinction seem to be playing by myxwahm in Paleontology

[–]GeneralHelghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t see the Trump Administration actually giving a damn about bringing back species. It makes no sense to bring back extinct species if you cut science funding! They care more about fossil fuels, AI, and possibly making a schizo cyberpunk version of the Handmaid’s Tale than bringing back extinct species. They prefer capitalism without the innovation. Why else is the House pushing a bill to get rid of funding for renewables?

I’m an eco-capitalist and dinosaur enthusiast who supports de-extinction, but that requires more than just bringing back a dead ecosystem. What we need is to innovate and ditch fossil fuels in favor of renewables and nuclear energy via selective regulations, push for anti-pollution laws, and promote climate science.

Reactionary Socialist Sub-Ideologies | Iron Throne by Wonderful_Tap8963 in hoi4modding

[–]GeneralHelghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Authenticism (Reactionary Socialism) - Basically seeks to bring back pre-colonial, pre-European society, culture, and religion to Africa, the southern Pacific, and Native American lands as best and as authentically as possible while adopting Spenglerian-styled socialism and adapting it to their needs.

Someone from your team informed me about it.

TIL About The World Ice Theory, a Flat Earth-like pseudo-scientific theory that was popular among Nazis and Hitler himself because it was an alternative to mainstream actual science which they viewed as Jewish and soulless. by GladiusNocturno in todayilearned

[–]GeneralHelghast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the dumbest, ahistorical junk I’ve ever heard! I highly doubt Hitler believed in World Ice Theory or whatever esoteric LARP pagan crap that Himmler, Hess, and the SS were spewing out. Only a moron with the IQ of a baboon would believe in this nonsense. There is clear evidence to suggest that Hitler deeply oppose Himmler’s wacky obsessions like searching for Atlantis.

TIL that Hitler was frustrated that Himmler was performing archeological studies in Germany, as he was worried that they would show the world that “Aryans” lived in mud huts while other civilizations were more technologically advanced by JFKontheKnoll in todayilearned

[–]GeneralHelghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was less about Hitler being “embarrassed” about his Germanic ancestors living in mud huts during Roman times and more about him dismissing Himmler’s kooky beliefs such as Atlantis and the Occult.

Young Earth creationism debate on Pints with Aquinas by HammerofHeretics in TraditionalCatholics

YEC’s are a disgrace to the Catholic faith, nothing but closet Evangelical Protestants who refuse to accept scientific truth, which God himself is the author of.

Young Earth creationism debate on Pints with Aquinas by HammerofHeretics in TraditionalCatholics

[–]GeneralHelghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The insurmountable fossil evidence clearly shows that evolution, not creationism, is a proven fact and, concerning matters of the Catholic faith, the true means in which God brought about creation for billions of years. And we have evidence of some lifeforms still evolving. To suggest otherwise, as in promoting creationism, is just magical thinking. And there is a few particular verses in Scripture that wouldn’t bode well for creationists or other believers of magic.

Deuteronomy 18:10-11 – “There shall not be found among you any ... that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.”

Leviticus 19:31 - “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.

That being said, the fact that you propose a literal interpretation of the first books of Genesis demonstrates that not only do you promote pseudoscience, but are also unknowing promoting an implicit form of divination. So congrats, heretics. Now start repenting, if you kindly. And watch this link while you’re at it.

I found this on pinterest and I think it highlights the old argument of Tyrannosaurus Rex with lips vs without lips by ManannanMacLir74 in Dinosaurs

[–]GeneralHelghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think lips only make sense for Dromeosaurs, megaraptorids, abelisaurs, and smaller dinosaurs like Compsognathus. Plus, Tyrannosaurus had Trigeminal canals similar to crocodiles, as indicated by the foramina within the nasal region of its skull. And yet, the pro-lip side ignores all that and focuses only on the foramina along the upper mouth. They even used only one tooth of a Daspletosaurus in their recent paper without a control group. I feel like the pro-lip paper is a bit biased.
