      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.

If so your ownly hope might be to head towards a nearby mountain where oxygen levels would be lower higher up otherwise you would suffer severe lung damage.

      @roxyamused 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      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.

      I have also been stuck in mud, but my class was on a wetland field trip, so almost everyone got stuck in the mud at least once. It was past my knee. But the really scary thing happened after I got out of the mud and accidentally kicked a stick. The stick stuck itself through my skin and we had to wash the foot thoroughly to make sure I didn't get any pathogens.

    35% oxygen sounds high, but this was for dry air.. When you get to a temperature where water vapor makes up a significant fraction of the air, the effective oxygen concentration goes down.

    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.

  • @jessiec668
    @jessiec668 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Riding a giant centipede around would work right up until it decides to crawl under a root or right through a dense thicket because it's not used to having to worry about dodging anything taller than itself.

    I think the swampiness is my #1 concern. Managing to stay dry, but not having your dry area start on fire randomly is going to be a very fine balance. Clean fresh water as well is going to be in rare supply unless you get lucky enough to be around very deep water.
