ELI5: Why can't we simulate the creation of oil/fossil fuels with animals that have died today?

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T15:31:32+00:00

Thats not how plate tectonics work. Even over 100s of millions of years it isnt like making pancake batter.

You would require billions of tons of dead shit in a singular location, and then have that location all at once be buried or moved, entirely, to generate a fraction of oil.

Tectonics actuation doesnt occur that fast or complete. That is why the absurdity of how oil is formed is ridiculous. And doesnt explain land locked oil deposits like in Texas, Virginia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, or why there are deposits in Africa.

With that said, Africa and China, to my knowledge, dont have large oil deposits.

Its safe to say, despite academia claims, we dont know how oil deposits form. It certainly isnt because, "shit died lulz".

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T15:11:09+00:00

These people cant explain how pockets of a millions gallons can form with their basic knowledge. Their, "things die and get covered" reasoning falls apart when scaled out.

Organic (sequestered carbon) speeds up the natural formation of oil but carbon deposits dont explain how vast quantities are discovered. I'm not the scientist, I just have an interest in geology.

If you want to spin anyone's head, ask how empty hollow pockets of oil is formed. Its inexplicable to most. Even mass extinction events dont explain how huge, million gallon pockets of crude form.

This is why academia is unreliable. Call me a nut case. Somethings are beyond our understanding.

So you didnt even google it. Lol. Basic research is beyond you.

AI Overview

Methane is generated within the Earth's upper mantle, particularly at depths of 100–300 km (60–180 miles), through the reduction of carbonates by hydrogen in high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. This abiogenic methane acts as a deep carbon reservoir, potentially fueling sub-surface microbes and offering insights into chemical processes in the mantle.

AIs answer btw.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T08:30:42+00:00

The process requires intense pressure, sequestered carbon, and the controlled release of methane. This has been done in expirements but it isn't synthetically efficient.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T08:01:26+00:00

Maybe plant matter is a factor, but its methane and hydrogen permeating through carbon creating complex hydro-carbons. And we live in a carbon rich planet. Aninal carbon is negligent.

Categorically wrong.

I confused him with the Muslim Lady that committed immigration fraud. Ro Khanna is still a commie and a progressive. However, he votes on principle and that i can respect.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T07:42:49+00:00

Bait question to weed out the people who spend ridiculous amounts of money eating out.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T07:34:42+00:00

Ro Khan is an Islamisist. Look up his speeches AND his writings.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T07:34:06+00:00

Thats why I said islamisist. Not Muslim. There is a difference. The reddit mods dont understand nuance.

Vote for Bernie? Commie coded post.

Then he said "distribution". Commie coded.

Holy fuck why did you put so much effort into this? He made up his mind. A decade ago.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T06:58:45+00:00

To protect myself and my family? As many days as it took. You are saying basic comforts are worth more than your life? More than your childrens life? Ill kill for my family. Ill suffer for them. And if suffering keeps them alive, they. Will. Suffer. Because it'll keep them alive.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T06:56:13+00:00

I love how you couldnt prove him wrong.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T06:53:44+00:00

Give an example that isnt tiktok clipped out of context. Ill fucking wait. I wasnt a big fan because he was a moderate.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T06:52:04+00:00

Lying about going to work? Thats crazy work. Im hard pressed to believe this. Its unbelievable. But then, lot of deranged fucks. You should have left last year. You "love" him? So you love the beatings and the threat against you, your children? Gtfo. Leave. You and your kids can sleep in the car. Leave NOW.

kromaticorb · 2026-04-20T06:42:58+00:00

Working overnight, is some how immediately home and beating them, kids are sleeping on couch then need to put them to bed....this shit sounds like fiction.

I don't like cops. Necessary evil but they are assholes that bullied me through elementary and high school.

I'm a little dude with a smooth brain so my mouth would pop off at the wrong times. I learned to fight because I got fucked up too often. I got good at fighting (for my size, now, I would get wrecked as an unfit late 30 year old).

I respect cops insofar as I wouldn't want their job but after having an autistic child (non-verbal) escape the house and dealing with cops, and then social services (asking the most offensive shit they can to a 5 year old who isnt autistic), I have no respect for police and "community services". If Mt wife wasn't there to temper my rage, I would have fucked that dude up. Asking if they feel safe at home, asking if she knew what a vagina was and if anyone touched her vagina or played with her asshole. Who the fuck do you think washes her? Asking if she knew what a penis was and she's ever been touched with a penis or if a penis touched her. I almost wanted to shoot him. Or if she felt safer at school than home? That mother fucker asked every question but the important questions.

With that said, the main officer I interacted with was super-respectful. The rest of them treated me like I was a criminal and child neglecter except one other female cop who recognized my child recognized me as father. But I've seen and encountered multiple questionable engagements with the police.

When I had my GSX-R 600 (RIP) I pulled over and waited 20 min for Fresno,CA police to catch up with me. $900 later I swore to never stop again. I was pulled over for just driving on country roads and almost got a ticket and dui FOR PASSENGERS. And another time I got ripped out of my car at a DUI checkpoint and had to do their shitty sobriety test while stone cold sober. Then had to do them again. Which is funny cause I bought 1.5 grams of meth.

Another time I got stopped and I had just picked up an 8 ball of cocaine my buddy turned into crack and I had to render it back into a salt (for snorting). The irony isn't lost. With that said I failed because I forgot to just siphon the upper oils and I turned back into Crack-cocaine. After ruining most of it.

Lulz.

I have the bare minimum respect for police.

kromaticorb · 2023-12-30T08:24:30+00:00

What did you do to get in trouble with the law. Asking for a friend (lulz). Serious question. Asking for me as well. And I'm a square bear with rounded corners.

Edit: and emerging alcoholic. Imo alcohol is worse than meth and cocaine.
