Spinosaurus

A theropod that lived in Africa and Morocco 112.03 million years ago to 72. 1 million years ago in the Creatatious period. At first it was thought to be a full land dweller and with a build similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex (Tyrant Lizard King) with a spine, but studies later found that Spinosaurus had a more crocodile like snout and most likely lived and hunted near water. But the same "closer to a T-Rex and mainly lived on land" idea was kept. As more more information was gathered, a new image of the Spinosaurus was made. The Spinosaurus was changed phenomenally from the first idea. Now it is thought to be pretty much a full water dweller only occasionally going out on land. Its arms were long with sharp, hook-like claws to snag fish. And it did not walk almost upright (the first idea of how the T-Rex walked, now proved wrong) it probably walked mostly on all fours (of course it would mostly swim). Its tail was also not thin and lizard-like. Instead it's tail was more like a paddle to help it swim, like a crocodile. It also hunted mainly fish, leaving less encounters with the Carcharodontasaurus, the other large predatory dinosaur that shared Spinosaurus's habitat. Though Carcharadontasaurus looked closer to a T-Rex. The end of Spinosaurus was caused by the earth warming up, the lakes and rivers that the Spinosaurus lived in dried up leaving no place for it to live and hunt.
I think Spinosaurus is the coolest dinosaur!

Spinflation

When the rate of inflation in a given country increases uncontrollably, but the media and politicians spin the story to say that the economy and people of said country are thriving.
Politician: “In the last 19 months we have worked together to make this country more affordable for all citizens…”
Media: “It truly is incredible how the President continues to decrease costs for the average citizen — all in less than 2 years!”

Average Citizen 1: “Bro, what are they talking about?! I pay a higher price for gas, water, electric, and food just about every month!”
Average Citizen 2: “This is just a textbook example of spinflation.”

spinoza

Rationalist philosopher dude who lived a long time ago.

He basically said that substance is god, or nature, and that every existing thing is one. That kinda made Christian Europe mad and they actually started using the word "Spinozist" as almost a swear word for "atheist".

Then there was this huge intellectual controversy when Jacobi and Mendelssohn were both writing a book about Lessing, who had just died, and they started exchanging letters about it and things got kinda heated when Jacobi took things a little too seriously and competed to have his book printed first. Mendelssohn didn't get as aggresive as Jacobi, but the poor dude ended up dead when he caught a cold trying to send in his manuscript.

Anyway, the reason why this caused so much controversy was because Jacobi claimed that Lessing admitted to being a spinozist and Mendelssohn was friends with Lessing so everyone was like omg no way cause Mendelssohn was a leader of the Berlin Enlightenment and the starter of modern Judaism and being called an atheist or pantheist wasn't exactly a good thing back then.

Long story short, Jacobi's book got printed, in which he actually criticized Spinoza saying that yeah, Spinoza may be right in his ideas but reason leads to atheism and denial of free will so we should have faith. Or something like that. Bu interestingly enough, this criticism restarted an interest in Spinoza. And here we are today, still talking about the dude.
"What's up?"
"Oh not much. Just writing a paper on Jacobi and Spinoza for my philosophy class."
"Wait, why are you even taking philosophy?"
"So I can show off my mad knowledge on random websites."
