If they weren't stupid, they would still be alive

(I still think they're really cool, I'm just mad they aren't around anymore and misdirecting that frustration toward them)

one lineage of dinosaurs survived the mass extinction because they were small, could fly and some other things. you might know them as "birds"

True! And birds are really cool

They are still alive. There's more dinosaurs than humans on this planet. My favorite is the secretarybird.
