The reason we have oil is because there was nothing that could eat early plants
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 6th, 2026 10:33 PM Author: Tripping senate For millions of years we had all these plants growing everywhere just like today, but there were no insects or worms that ate them when they died. Nor any bacteria. For millions of years, plants would die but never decompose. How much would that suck? Eventually all that plant matter got crushed into the earth's crust and turned into this black carbon goop. If any worms had existed way back then we'd have no oil today.

Date: January 6th, 2026 10:45 PM Author: wonderful university cumskin i'm probably wrong about this but i thought that coal was created because the lignin created by trees couldn't decompose at that time, but that oil was created earlier when life died in low-oxygen settings. iow, there were plenty of bacteria that could have decomposed the algae and plankton that became oil but the bacteria couldn't do that in the low-O2 environments.

Date: January 6th, 2026 10:47 PM Author: Sinister naked voyeur That's correct but the trees and the coal happened later. RE oxygen that's also true but the effect is the same: no bacteria could decompose these plants (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5818203&forum_id=2,#49568068) |

Date: January 6th, 2026 11:04 PM Author: wonderful university cumskin the OP seemed to suggest that plants preceded bacteria. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5818203&forum_id=2,#49568090) |

Date: January 6th, 2026 11:22 PM Author: Sinister naked voyeur There were billions of lifeforms preying upon each other, but none of them had eaten a plant before. There were worms and arthropods and bacteria but they couldn't digest plants any better than you can digest plastic (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5818203&forum_id=2,#49568119) |

Date: January 6th, 2026 11:29 PM Author: wonderful university cumskin again, i could be dead wrong but i think your claim is wrong. bacteria could decompose plants when plants first arose.
what bacteria could not originally do is decompose lignin created by trees but that was much later in time. that's how we got coal.
the leading theory about oil, on the other hand, was that it was organic material that failed to decompose because it happened to die in low oxygen environments.
am i wrong? |

Date: January 6th, 2026 11:32 PM Author: Tripping senate I thought it was the reverse - we had a bunch of leftover anaerobic bacteria that couldn't cope with all the free oxygen these plants were releasing. I don't know what anaerobic environment was full of plants back then (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5818203&forum_id=2,#49568138) |
