The dinosaurs did not "Rule the Earth".

They were just alive.

Stop giving them credit for administrative skills they likely did not have.

@dgar But they were BIG!!!! Everyone KNOWS that the biggest one wins!! If you can stomp the other animals to death that means you're the king of everything!! That's why we must continue to stomp every other living thing on earth to prove that we tha best and teach that damn ecosystem that we deserve to make all the decisions and it should just stop whining by staging those mass extinctions and extreme weather and respect our authority!! /s

(My take on how authoritarians think)
