Dinosaurs were around before Saturn had rings.

Saturn's rings are around 150 mio. years old.

Now THAT is a shower thought.
all the dino dust was ejected into space and settled around saturn
- I have to know if this picture already existed or if you just made that because it's perfect
- This is that Charlie Kelley kind of logic.
  
  I don't know enough about planetary rings and dinosaurs to dispute it.
  
  Is dinosaur law just a precursor to bird law?
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
Dios mío, man.
