Bro lived his whole life and never knew dinosaurs were a thing 😭🦖” George Washington died in 1799 — a full 25 years before the first dinosaur fossil was officially identified in 1824. That means the first President of the United States never even knew creatures like T-Rex or Triceratops once ruled the Earth. The first scientifically described dinosaur was Megalosaurus, named by English geologist William Buckland. Even the word “dinosaur” didn’t exist until 1842, when Richard Owen created the term. Imagine building a whole nation… but having no idea that giant reptiles once walked the planet millions of years ago. History feels ancient to us, but the science of dinosaurs is actually pretty new. It’s crazy to think: when Washington was alive, people had never even heard the word “dinosaur.” 🦕 Time really changes what we know about the world. What seems obvious today might have been completely unknown just a few centuries ago. History hits different when you realize how much humanity was still discovering. #explore #facts #like4like #history #wtf

‎Shrek, created by DreamWorks Animation in their 2001 film *
9,740,968

‎Shrek, created by DreamWorks Animation in their 2001 film *Shrek*, is an ogre who lives alone in a swamp, far removed from a world that judged him without ever really getting to know him. Played by Mike Myers, Shrek was created as a character opposite of a traditional fairy tale hero. He was given nothing of charm or perfection, instead being given a lot of insecurity, sarcasm, and emotional walls built from years of rejection. Although on the outside Shrek seems to take a lot of pride in being feared and misunderstood, on the inside he is desperate to be accepted without having to change who he is. ‎ ‎Shrek’s real adventure begins when he meets his new companion Donkey, played by the incredibly talented Eddie Murphy. Although at first Shrek is annoyed by Donkey’s never-ending chatter, this is soon turned into what is arguably one of the greatest friendship of all time. Donkey is a small horse who sees past Shrek’s ogre exterior and chooses to stay by his side, illustrating that real friendship is based on loyalty, honesty, and understanding. ‎ 🎵 I Thought I Saw Your Face Today 🗣️ Shrek #hopecore #mindset #mentality #shrek
