This economic crash is going to be so much more painful than a nice quick asteroid impact that vaporizes you in a fraction of a second. Jealous of the dinosaurs right now.

You're romanticizing dinosaur's situation tho. Most weren't fatally hit by asteroid, but slowly perished from consequences of that hit afterwards, including worsening of air quality due to smoke and ash, different cataclysms like volcano eruptions and floods, and due to food shortage that happened due to aforementioned things.

So kinda what we're about to get anyway minus the asteroid.

Thanks for pointing that out. That said, I sure wouldn’t mind being among the dinosaurs within the immediate blast radius of the impact point. Like sitting on top of a detonating thermonuclear device.

I dunno, I heard somewhere that the whole world basically turned into an oven almost instantly. The vast majority of dinosaurs were dead on day 1.

Edit: I think it was this RadioLab https://radiolab.org/podcast/dinopocalypse-redux

Edit 2: Added the quote. All temps are in F.

Which means that if you were a terrestrial dinosaur anywhere above the ground on the Earth on that day, you would have experienced some heat that is almost unimaginable. Maybe it started at a hundred degrees, because it was June. It was summer. But within minutes, it would have been 300 degrees. 500 degrees. 700 degrees. 900 degrees. Estimates are on that day, temperatures topped out at something like 1,200 degrees. At that temperature, nothing can protect you. Your scales, your fur, whatever you got, it's not gonna do any good. Your blood will literally start to boil inside your body, and you will die.
