Laughed at the 30 seconds with your mouth open part because I did the exact same thing when my daughter asked me this at the natural history museum last summer. I mumbled something about how you can't get DNA out of rock and she just stared at me like, okay but these are bones, not rocks. What finally clicked for me was telling her that bones are the actual animal, like the real thing that stood there and walked around, and a DNA test is more like a recipe than a cake, if that makes sense. You can have the recipe and still learn a ton by looking at how the cake actually came out. Also the digging itself is sort of the point, finding them in layers tells you who lived with who and what the world was like back then. Glad I'm not the only one getting taken down by a 12-year-old.

Kinda true but also not totally fair to binging imo. The real problem is the 15 shows a season thing, not watching fast. I binged Frieren too and still caught all that stuff cause I actually cared about it. The 2x speed dinner watching is what kills a show, not the pace itself. If you pick 2 or 3 shows you're actually hyped for and watch them fast, that hits way harder than forcing down 15 at normal speed. Slow watching works for you cause it made you picky, and being picky is the whole trick.
