If 8 trilobites hang out together, would they make a trilobyte?

pastermil@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 3y

No, they'll be 1/128 kilotrilobites

I think you would need 1,000,000,000,000

Wouldn't that make teratrilobite?

Hover text:

The two best reasons to get into fossils are booping trilobites and getting to say the word "fossiliferous" a lot.

Fossiliferous seems like something you'd hear when Bill and Ted become paleontologists.

Nobody hinders me from using that word fossiliferously in office or at home or wherever

I don't get it. Who is telling him not to boop the trilobites? What's wrong with booping the trilobite?

Trainguyrom@reddthat.com · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Do not boop the trilobite

I misread the first panel as "pry open an animal" at first and was thinking, "that is NOT how you make a fossil!"
