      If we can have a special episode or podcast dedicated to sounds of ancient creatures, I'd love that. I am the most curious what meganeura might have sounded like. I already love the deep hum of bumblebees, but I expect meganeura would have sounded even more bonkers!

      Are you sure you would get oxygen poisoning? A quick google search says humans can endure about 0.5 bars of partial pressure of O2 indefinitely and the estimated partial O2 pressure during the Carboniferous period was about 0.3. Maybe I'm missing an important factor here.

    • @roxyamused
      @roxyamused День тому +6

      It would be awful. The early Triassic was noxious, suffocating, CO2 through the roof, dry af, there'd be dry spells that mummified a lystrosaurus so we know what it's skin was like; there'd be acid rain and gas clouds that suffocate animals; the entire biome was trying to recover from the shear intensity of methane and CO2 from the Siberian Trapps. Even in the late-early of the Triassic the CO2 ppm was like 600. Early triassic is 1200-1900ppm. Also those crazy bipedal crocodilians roaming the dead landscape with only a few trees dotted around with the only food probably going to be lystrosaurus eating those trees, very little fresh water and a global temperature that's 4C above our current. Did I also say how dry it was? Middle Triassic is far more tolerable as the CO2 ppm was down to 350-400, and it was less dry, more forests, more temperate despite the huge desert in the middle on Pangea. Middle Permian to middle Triassic was intense, the world was trying to kill everything.

    In this scenario, i think it'd be difficult to start a fire Because everything is wet! It's gonna be hard to find DRY WOOD to start a fire.

    I'm at the stuck in the mud part, and I remember one of my archeology profs telling the story of how he was so weak from getting dysentery that he got stuck walking across the dig site after a rainstorm. Cue Oregon Trail jokes.

    I'm with Gabriel regarding the bugs, but I'm thinking the Carboniferous would be more like ARK than D&D. Also, I'm loving that Gabriel has Gidorah in the background. KAIJUUUUUUUUUU!

    I'm sad that you won't be doing one set in the thriving part of the Permian. I understand why you want to set one during the Great Dying, but can't you do another before that, during the era of the great synapsids? That would be super interesting and it's not fair to skip right past it just because the Great Dying is one you obviously have to do also!!

    I remember looking at an image of Dimetrodon back in the 70's and wondering if it developed it's sail so it could warm up faster and start hunting while it's prey was still lethargic. Then herbivores would have done the same as a defense.

      Maybe maybe not, most plants are bad for us, many animals pick up those toxins from meals. Many crabs are not edible. And predator fish like barracuda uptake toxins from the algae their prey eats.

      You might be thinking of _Megarachne_ but that's a Eurypterid (sea scorpion), not an Arachnid (spider).

    I would think there were ancient arthropod predators large enough and/or venomous enough to take down a human being. One would therefore traipse around a Carboniferous landscape at his or her own peril.

    I actually looked into the idea of eating millipedes recently. The thing with them is that they are toxic, but the toxin is produced in glands rather than their flesh. This doesn't really help with tiny millipedes like we have now, but with the giant ones it should be possible to remove or clean out the glands to remove the toxin.

    It's funny that Gabriel mentioned pokémon, because the game was based on the bug catching games of kids. They would find impressive bugs and in some cases even make them fight each other. He's literally going back to the roots of Pokemon
