more of a TIL than a shower thought
doesn’t make me any less cool
Interesting thought, but the rings may be older than that, and they may be reoccurring. That's just an estimate based on a range calculated in a recent study.

There's a lot more learning to do.
If they liked it, then they should have put a ring on it.
blows my mind every time I come across this trivia. thank you for sharing
So the dinosaurs all died of disappointment?
Nah, most of them moved to Saturn after they got married.
What blows my mind even more is that, when dinosaurs existed*, the solar system was on the other side of our galaxy.
(*) Dinos were around for a really long time, so it was largely during the Cretaceous when the solar system was on the opposite side.
I also often calculate things like that in the shower
Sharks were around before Saturns rings existed
So was your mom
Dios mío, man.
