Postcards from after the invention of time travel

This is my third post mentioning an article on Cracked.com in a row. I don't know what this means but I felt I should mention it for some reason.

For those not familiar with that website, this link here will take you to a contest where they set up a theme (in this case, the same one as the title of this thread) and people will send them pictures about it. They call it Photoplasty.

I've included a few examples below. Maybe we can come up with more ideas for our own amusement? I mean, we are the Institute right? What do these guys know about time travel?

Anyway, this is some very funny stuff. Check it out!

On the top postcard and the girls along with the amphibian.The air was different then and they might have had a little trouble breathing?

Ha ha ha!

Did I do that right?Pinter

 
Were the girls in the first one witnessing evolution?

They both seem to be in the process of pulling their shorts down.So this is either a mooning, or ecological issue.I dont think that the amphibian would understand at this point.

Just like we do everyday, evolution is always happening! What makes the picture special though, is the fact that they are witnessing a Tiktaalik roseae, rising from shallow water to the ground. This little guy is one of the many transitional fossils we've already found and he's fantastic!
Wouldn't it be awesome to witness your great great great great (..) grandfather coming to land for a stroll for the first time?

I know I would pay for that trip in a time machine...

All indicates that the weather and atmosphere during the Devonian period would be well suited for the modern human. Of course, if we were to organize an expedition to that time, the implications of actually landing there and interacting with the fauna and flora would have to be very clear before doing so. I have no idea how this would work.

Thanks, was a bit misty on the Devonian.

Instead of saying that's incorrect, I'll suggest you reconsider and research your position. :)

Oh no, please tell me, what is wrong in that statement? My english isn't so good and some times I can mess it up...

Perhaps you should consider research as well. Sometimes people can benefit from verifying information themselves as a learning exercise rather than requesting others do it for them. Besides, not all conversation is a debate or should be taken SO seriously that scientific papers are required. Just let things slide. Peace. Zen. Let others have an opinion. Ummmmmmm.
:D

I assume you've already done your research. I trust you, Nicolas. Besides, this is about silly postcards, right? It's not a debate about evolution.
I am enjoying your funny threads. Thank you!!! Things need to be lighter some times! Life is too short!

Lol, I had to google mooning to understand it! :ROFLMAO: :roflmao:At first I thought it was just one of those things @pinterest says... :D :D

hahaha. No, no.... it's showing your own personal "moon" to someone... hehehehehe :ROFLMAO:

I bet you'd find some interesting photos if you did a Google Image search. hehehehe

 
Lol, thank you for your support @PaulaJedi. I sure do agree with you on that. Things should be lighter all the time!

But, I have to admit... I'm always up for a debate on evolution! Such a wonderful subject, I always learn new things when talking about it!

Have a nice day!

 
Do you think Gpa meant about the Devonian? Not only the data is pretty conclusive but you've been there right? I remember you telling me about that quick stop you had to make there on your way back from the Cambrian... If you had had any trouble breathing you'd have let me know right?

The issue of the cambrian and precambrian era and land.What made the incorrect statement, is technically does anyone really know when sea creatures officially started to crawl out of the oceans onto land?Back to those eras, the issue of enough O2 in the air, was at debate, as there had not been the massive die offs as of yet.Yes'my error, but with reason.I know at least sea scorpions and Trilobites, but there was no higher developments then.
The Devonian was way after the cambrian precambrian eras.Pinter Thank you for pointing out this error.

See what happens when I try to play nice with the other kids on the playground.

I was going to offer a more detailed response as follow up to my post but, I'm not going to waste your time or mine since, many won't benefit from it anyway. Paulajedi says I should consider research. Since "I" already have, I'll offer these links so any of you that want to, can research it for yourselves. This is what I studied in college. If you are capable of gaining enlightenment from it, then I hope you enjoy it.

This statement...coming from you...

Since you've missed the point, as usual, I was not debating evolution, I was pointing to an error in a statement about "people" surviving in the Devonian period.

 
Come on you guys...

Gpa, I'm interested in your point of view. I just read the paper on your first link (I'm on my phone, waiting for my wife to come out of an exam... I'll read the other one when I get home), and it sure does corroborates what I said, in the section "Mid-late Devonian atmosphere, climates, and environments".

The temperatures and levels of oxygen of that time are even better than some places of the earth today! I really don't see why a group of tourists would have any trouble breathing during the Devonian... Would you care to elaborate?
