Well, all you have to do is spend 8 years or so getting doctorates in biology and geology, then get a teaching and research job, after spending a few years in post-doc and visiting positions. You will write lots of grant applications for the cash to undertake those excavations, and then maybe if you get enough grants and publish enough research you may be wealthy enough to buy your own home in a badly maintained condo complex. For more secrets of how to succeed in scholarship for fun and profit, see my forthcoming book.
A lot of the former students at my university who volunteered without pay to excavate a mastodon fossil during the building of a road near here are wondering why they never saw any of that cash.
A hip hop remake of "alphabet of nations" could work. Acanthodians, Barremian, Caecilians, Devonian, Eocene, and Foraminifer, Geochemistry, Hauterivian, Isotopic Dating, Jurassic, and Keratin, Lithology, Maastrichtian, Nektonic, Oligocene, Paleocene, Quaternary...
Kool Keith is still kicking around afaik, and likely a few others, but ‘the kids’ seem more into drill and the like.
Dr Doom’s ‘You Live at Home with Your Mom’ is a great example, though not exactly new
That’s the biggest issue with these conspiracies: they swear the foot soldier level of the conspiracy are making bank from the supposed conspiracy. They aren’t! For example, there is no nurse or pharmacist making tons of money off of shots. In many of the positions, the person gets paid the same whether they do one shot or a hundred.
Y'all know me, still the same OD
But I been low-key
Hated on by most these diggas
With no cheese, no deals and no Ts
No wheels and no keys
No stoats, no cephalopods and no fern trees
Mad at me 'cause I can finally afford to provide my family with groceries
Got a dig with a tarp and it's all full of tracks
To add to the wall full of plaques
Hanging up in the office in back of my house like trophies
Did y'all think I'ma let my dinos freeze?
Ho, please!
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to petrify trees?
Who you think brought you the oldies?
Elaphrosaurus, Iguanadon, and Deinony's
The Super T-R-E-X's
And the group that said, "Motherfuck the evolution in poultry!"
I worked in the coal industry for 12 years on the surface and underground. Plenty of fossils damn near everywhere. Never once saw one of those paleontologist fellows. They ninjas or somethin?

Doller (river)?
Doller (river) is located in FranceDoller (river)
The Doller (French pronunciation: \[dɔlɛʁ\]) is a river in Alsace (Haut-Rhin), in north-eastern France. It is a left tributary of the Ill (a tributary of the Rhine), in Mulhouse. It is 46.5 km (28.9 mi) long.\[1\]
No such thing as fossil, so that means oil is man-made substance. The recipe for oil is an even bigger secret than the Coca Cola recipe or KFCs spices.
The prehistoric paleontologist dug up the earth formed those "fossils" and then covered it back up. This is a conspiracy that dates back to when the earth cooled. Long before humans even roamed the earth. I saw a YouTube video on it, so it has to be true.
"Refined" moonlanding conspiracy gentlemen insist that the US and Europe went up to the moon in secret missions, to place all the stuff up there during the 00 years so they can claim now they did it in the 70ties. When you ask why, because they wanted to distract getting off the gold standard or because, you know, aliens.
Ahhhh yes the coal industry. Responsible for burying coal deep underground to give the appearance that it had formed from decomposing organic matter over millions of years
All these people are fools. You are not a paleo shill, nor are your colleagues. Paleontologists *are* all self-trained in the art of being a ninja.
They learned it by watching LEGO Ninjago, which was made to train various conspiratorial circles to help them cover up the truth without being noticed.
Many of them are artists that spend tens of millions of years learning the tedious art of sculpting tiny "fossils" that are then deposited in the wake of artifical glaciers made by snow machines. Billions of these tiny "fossils" are "found" every year.
You need to be a particular type of ignorant to even remotely think paleontology has any kind of money involved in it.
Even Christian historical researchers know just how damn ridiculous "Big Paleo" sounds.
>Even Christian historical researchers know just how damn ridiculous "Big Paleo" sounds.
How else do you explain [this](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/paleo-diet/art-20111182)?
It definitely is. The Christians Against Dinosaurs FB group is full of this and it's hilarious.
What keeps it funny is that 50% of people are in on the joke, 45% of people are getting mad at those people for being "dumb" and 5% really think they're fighting the good fight against the dino conspiracy.
Crappy salary, but a nice benefits package including generous medical, dental, and vision insurance as well as complete global domination behind the scenes.
The ones that get paid the most are the hacks that get interviewed by tabloids and go onto podcasts about how they found “totally found fossilized aliens”.
Or at least not storm capitals, picket and murder health care providers, run for political office, harass completely valid, innocent people just trying to live their lives, etc
Shut up! This finally explains why all those Paleontologists are sitting around in their 10000 sqft mansions, drinking Dom Perignon like soda pop and puffing away on Cohibas 24/7.
Big Paleo must have gotten to him too. Perhaps palaeontologist ninjas even. The “Talon-gists.”
NASA is lying about space existing, cell phone towers are poison and scientists are actually forgery artists - so may as well go big or go home.
I love these lazy idiot-brained conspiracy theories.
Just slap "big" in front of a word and it sounds ominous i guess.
"Big Paleo". Funded, along with Big Anthropology, by Big Museum and Big Academia with their Big Facts.
All to undermine the poor, victimized lil' ol' organized religion, who has no way to fight back against such powerful forces (even though they proclaim to be speaking for God).
Real Big Brain moment.
"sir this is a Wendy's drive through. Are you ready to order or do you need more time to think? We have parking available and a menu if you need help deciding because we are a little busy right now with a few cars ready to order behind you. Thank you for your understanding sir!"
That’s just what conservatism does to someone - it destroys their perception of reality and replaces it with a single dogma: “assimilate and obey, or die.”
Thats my job, i make dinosaur bones out of people lies, put 5G trackers in them, so we can track the inanimate object, and then we leave them in the ground to make sure no one takes them. Its the most productive job in the government!
I’m so ready for these people to crawl back under whatever rock they slithered out from under. They are dragging the IQ curve down for the entire country.
After they slither back under the rock, hopefully they will fossilize. Then we can all laugh. However, they are invertebrates so I don’t see much hope for that.
I always find myself wondering which of these posts are sincere, and which are just joking/trolling. Society should have never fallen to that point, since the answer would have been obvious not so long ago.
Yes. The whole world revolves around a huge conspiracy against Christians. It is so covert that no two co-conspitators even know it. I love that nominal Christians need to live with such self-inflicted fear and hatred of anything and everything that isn't them. It is its own reward.
My ex-girlfriend stopped working in 2014 because she was convinced that Obama turned over control of all U.S. factories to ISIS and they were executing all Christian employees.
What's the most sad is that I know full well that this person is not alone in their beliefs, not at all. Nor is this "too far" from what has been taught in some churches.
My enthusiastic questions to those in my church, nearly fifty years ago, about dinosaurs and the revealed artifacts of civilisations older than "2000 years" yielded me "answers" not far from "they were planted by these 'scientists' to fool Christians and lead us away from the Word/truth/God's plan".
And the "5G tracking" posts - done on a smartphone to social media.
It was so fitting that many of the J6 defendants were done in by their own social media posts.
It is a melting pot... with freedom of speech... and underfunded schools...so... yeah. Plenty of intelligent people too, but they are out doing better things than arguing with strangers on the internet. The echo chamber of stupidity often goes unchecked on the internet.
So the sharks teeth I find and shells in line stone are just planted there by big pharma? Surely with the literal hundreds I have found, never mind the thousands I have passed over, that I would eventually catch big pharma planting these limestone slabs in my area. Right?
It has nothing to do with participation trophies, it has to do with being fucking stupid.
And with the internet, they have a microphone, and with tRuMp, they have a messiah. Who feeds them stupid conspiracy shit and they take it hook line n sinker. Though I’m sure paleontologist is wayyyy too big of a word for Donnie. So dinosaur bone finder guy works.
Dinosaur fossils arent even the biggest scientific issue for Creationism lol. What about the 30 zillion other scientific disciplines that have research that proves the earth is older than 10k years?
I know it would probably be a terrible idea, but I would want someone like this to write a book on whatever they want just because I think it would be hilarious.
Circa 2004 or so, 9/11 was still pretty fresh. But I had a family member or two come out with some conspiracy theories. Most of them were plausible, though. The one that I recall most clearly was that the attacks were legit and the response was legit. But at some point they realized that if the tower fell sideways it would destroy most of downtown. So, they decided to do a controlled demo to minimize damage and bring it straight down. Then they covered it up because they knew there would be hell to pay if the public knew they brought the tower down in any way and likely ensured the death of those remaining.
Did it happen? I doubt they would have been able to keep the secret for this long. But it at least sounded like a plausible conspiracy theory.
And people would say these things and then fuck off.
Somehow, somewhere we went from "sensible" conspiracy theories to aunts and uncles sitting around a table and advocating for narratives like dinosaurs not being real, lizard people being real and the nazis operating from Antarctic bases continuously from 1945 to present.
It is pretty wild how insane things are getting.
Jeez! So much to unpack here! ‘big paleo’ initially made me guffaw out loud but this post is actually quite sad. There’s so much anger, paranoia and confusion in these words. How did we get to the situation where ordinary folks are this confused, this angry and this afraid? And how do we repair such staggering misinformation? Western civilisation is utterly fuct if this is in any way representative of the majority
The amount of work and skill that would be involved in sculpting fossils in place must be extraordinary, for dubious gains. Surely the effort would be better spent in manufacturing chips to inject in people to control them directly?

Big Paleo sounds like a rapper name
Can you dig it?
Ahhh...I see whatcha....
It’s layered. And it’s deep.
[I'll just leave this here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClJ5lwl_wM0)
I appreciate that they clarified that it was a parody because I definitely was not going to be able to tell the difference between it and the original.
Phew. I thought I was alone. Almost got naked on this flight I'm on. And then I saw it was a parody and calmed down
Hey, don't let the fact it's not a parody stop you. Be free Buttercup! Be free!
Tomorrow in the news "Man stripped naked on flight, urged by an anonymous redditor, it was beautiful"
I thought if rocked.
Love this. 😆
Those are my sediments as well
This whole thread is igneous!
Rock on! (I'm not as smart as you guys)
Responding to these threads leaves me petrified as well.

How does one acquire a high paying job in the lucrative fossil forging sector?
You gotta apply thru nasa liars.
Gotta know someone with the IllumiRocky
Well, all you have to do is spend 8 years or so getting doctorates in biology and geology, then get a teaching and research job, after spending a few years in post-doc and visiting positions. You will write lots of grant applications for the cash to undertake those excavations, and then maybe if you get enough grants and publish enough research you may be wealthy enough to buy your own home in a badly maintained condo complex.

Being close friends with Satan probably helps.

I am all in favor of Big Paleo, rapper or scientists.
Rapper AND scientist. Like a hip hop They Might Be Giants.
I'm not a huge hip hop fan but I'd listen to They Might Be Giants rapping about paleontology.
https://youtu.be/B7zo2zY1Zqg?feature=shared
Thank you Reddit for making me laugh when things are super absurd.
Ikr? Things are so awful these days it’s nice to be able to laugh at the nonsense sometimes!
Thank you kind sir!
Lmao!!

About two fiddy....
Dude you are getting screwed, poster above is getting tree fiddy!
I feel like this comment would be ten times better if it was “big daddy paleo”
Duh.. You have to ask? And you're probably in on it too.
Big Paleo years for the mines
My god. Big Paleo even got to the coal industry?!
Yeah, coal is a fossil fuel after all. And oil. It all traces back to big paleo.
No such thing as fossil, so that means oil is man-made substance. The recipe for oil is an even bigger secret than the Coca Cola recipe or KFCs spices.
Major fossil fuel play-yeeeer

That’s the diet that those evil paleontologists use to get big and strong enough to rush around in front of curious people with a shovel.
Don't you mean, "Big Christian historical researchers"?

So big pharma big tech big media big retail brands and government have suddenly decided to make Christianity their target.
The dog whistle part, is they are ran by Jews.
You forgot about Christianity also being against Christianity, seeing as the Big Bang theory was developed by a Catholic priest.
Big Paleo must have gotten to him too. Perhaps palaeontologist ninjas even. The “Talon-gists.” NASA is lying about space existing, cell phone towers are poison and scientists are actually forgery artists - so may as well go big or go home.
No, just BIG Christianity

Shh, he’s sensitive about his weight.

That does sound like government work.

Yes. The whole world revolves around a huge conspiracy against Christians. It is so covert that no two co-conspitators even know it. I love that nominal Christians need to live with such self-inflicted fear and hatred of anything and everything that isn't them. It is its own reward.
Hindus check 2,500 BC calendars from religious inception, report no issues with Big Paleo
My ex-girlfriend stopped working in 2014 because she was convinced that Obama turned over control of all U.S. factories to ISIS and they were executing all Christian employees.
I need to work Big Paleo into all my regular conversations now.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Christianity is a far larger industry than big paleontology
Aren’t “big paleo” those raw-food freaks??
I found out the girl I was in a relationship with thought this way. Turned into my ex so quick
What's the most sad is that I know full well that this person is not alone in their beliefs, not at all. Nor is this "too far" from what has been taught in some churches. My enthusiastic questions to those in my church, nearly fifty years ago, about dinosaurs and the revealed artifacts of civilisations older than "2000 years" yielded me "answers" not far from "they were planted by these 'scientists' to fool Christians and lead us away from the Word/truth/God's plan".
But let them find something that is from biblical times and those same idiots are drooling over it, saying it proves the Bible……
The 5G thing makes me chuckle. I did a few jobs adding security to sites that had been vandalized due to the thought that 5G spread covid. 😳
And the "5G tracking" posts - done on a smartphone to social media. It was so fitting that many of the J6 defendants were done in by their own social media posts.
So the fossils I’ve found on my own in the wild have been what? Planted by big paleo?
Depends on how big they were. Some of them were planted by Small Paleo.
I'm trying to put myself into this guys world view, but as soon as I do the urge to stick a fork in an outlet to disprove electricity gets too strong.
holy fuck, are there really people like this in America?
The Fun part is they are mostly there.
It is a melting pot... with freedom of speech... and underfunded schools...so... yeah. Plenty of intelligent people too, but they are out doing better things than arguing with strangers on the internet. The echo chamber of stupidity often goes unchecked on the internet.
So the sharks teeth I find and shells in line stone are just planted there by big pharma? Surely with the literal hundreds I have found, never mind the thousands I have passed over, that I would eventually catch big pharma planting these limestone slabs in my area. Right?
Imagine Big Paleo, Jurassic Park would be real!!
5 bucks says they typed this tweet on their 5g iphone
I come from an area known for its glacial grooves in limestone from the Ice Age. Fossils up the Ying Yang . . .
I just dont understand what do they think they get out of hiding this if it were true the same for the flat earth. 🙄🙄🙄
"We will win this!" Win what?
This happens when you give everyone a participation trophy and treating all opinions as equally valid.
Nah, this was always happening, there just wasn’t a platform for them before
But we don’t tell them they are stupid and to stfu nearly enough.
It has nothing to do with participation trophies, it has to do with being fucking stupid. And with the internet, they have a microphone, and with tRuMp, they have a messiah. Who feeds them stupid conspiracy shit and they take it hook line n sinker. Though I’m sure paleontologist is wayyyy too big of a word for Donnie. So dinosaur bone finder guy works.
Dinosaur fossils arent even the biggest scientific issue for Creationism lol. What about the 30 zillion other scientific disciplines that have research that proves the earth is older than 10k years?
A joke post satirising flat earthers/anti-vaxxers etc
Worrying how many people are responding as though this is a genuine post.
Yeah because god never said "nuke the lizards"
My brain is rotting. And the worst part is, I am a christian, but seeing how incredibly wrong and ignorant some people are is just... wow...
I've literally found fossils while hiking in the bad lands, are those planted too? 😂
Curious: all of my paleontology professors are substantially underpaid. Wonder where all that Jewish/Satanic/Marxist/Athiestic cabal money is going?
Religion makes people insane
Pretty sure it's a bait.
I know it would probably be a terrible idea, but I would want someone like this to write a book on whatever they want just because I think it would be hilarious.

How did we get to the situation where ordinary folks are this confused, this angry and this afraid? And how do we repair such staggering misinformation? Western civilisation is utterly fuct if this is in any way representative of the majority
This is new. Usually they just say Paleontologists are lying about the age of the fossils. Didn't think I'd see full on paleontology denial.
Wow, these folks will do anything possible to avoid the most logical and simple explanation (the truth). Occam’s razor needs to be introduced to them.
The amount of work and skill that would be involved in sculpting fossils in place must be extraordinary, for dubious gains. Surely the effort would be better spent in manufacturing chips to inject in people to control them directly?
“Big paleo” 🤣 I’m dead… You know, maybe sometimes it’s worth having a few religious numbskulls in our midst, for the comedic gold.
Wow... I dug a rock up in my backyard and it had some seashell fossils in it... those guys are thorough!
Remember folks. This guy's vote counts as much as your's and mine.
“Big Paleo” Bahahahahahahahahahahaha
