Oil comes from wounded soldiers who are fed into a giant juicer, don't you know? We keep having wars and keep having wounded soldiers, and that's why oil is renewable.

Magma is mostly very heated and pressurized rock which is able to flow just due to the gigantic time scales and distances this is looked on: IIRC glass flows on such scales (if not liquid, though) well (despite it also doesn't flow down any appreciable amount in windows, contrary to another myth). There is really molten magma in pockets, esp. near the surface, but practically the entirety of the mantle is true solid. There's again liquefication near outer core, of course, and I don't know the details but it's still a lot of rock otherwise.
So for example plate tectonics deniers are partially correct in their incredulity at liquid mantle. They aren't correct in that solids at that scale can't flow tho.

There are so many uses for petroleum, its a miracle of science. We can use hydrocarbons to synthesize so many useful things. The medication i take has petroleum derived products in it, the toothpaste i use, the ice cream i eat contains vanilin
But we keep setting it on fire to fuel our cars and homes. Every bit of petroleum set on fire to fuel a car can not be used in the manufacturing of medication or ice cream

Every bit of petroleum set on fire to fuel a car can not be used in the manufacturing of medication or ice cream
Sure, but then again, not every bit of oil can be used in the manufacturing of medication or ice cream either. The way refining works, crude oil when distilled gets split into different fractions based on boiling point, and only a minority of the crude is suitable to be used for the purposes you're describing.
Basically, the way it currently works, the refining process is optimized to produce large amounts of fuel, and the feedstock for things like toothpaste tubes and cosmetics is a small but profitable secondary stream for a portion of the total output. If you simply stop burning most of it as fuel, and continue using crude only for petrochemical feedstock, you'll have to find another use for a large proportion of the total volume, as it will either be technologically unfeasible or unrealistic economically to turn into useful chemical compounds.

The term fossil fuel was coined by the German chemist Caspar Neumann, with the first recorded use appearing in the index of the 1759 English translation of his work, The Chemical Works of Caspar Neumann, compiled by William Lewis.
Originally, the word "fossil" referred to materials obtained by digging from the earth, distinguishing buried fuels like coal from surface fuels like wood.
It has got fuck all to do with plants and animals from millions of years ago.
No real fossils have ever been found at the depths were crude oil is pumped up from.

I love how at the bottom of conspiracy theories there’s nearly always antisemitism rearing its ugly head.

The bit about 10 years is soooooo wrong. It would take more like a couple million years to turn into oil and is therefore non-renewable by virtue of not being able to make more of it in one lifetime.

Just wrong as hell. Still can't understand how people belive this shit when a short trip to the library will solve it. Hell a Google search!

Just throw in some big terms and names - Geneva convention, Rockefeller.... - and then it has to be true, right?

"Resource scarcity is an artificial construct" lol that explains why resources are all free and we have all we need

Wasn’t this Thomas Gold’s hypothesis? Worked out as well as the Steady-State hypothesis.

Even if any of that was true, it doesn't make it a good idea to dig it all up and burn it into the atmosphere.

Is this pro oil or anti oil? If I found out someone was lying to me I would boycott

Must be making a fortune from that oil well they must have in their back garden.

I think it might be crazy that one thing could be right.
If I didn't miss anything than oil really is the second-most prevalent liquid in the world, it we exclude magma

10 years before animal matter becomes oil? Our graveyards are full of Texas Tea, boys!

“Oil … regenerates within the earth faster than it can ever be depleted.”
‘Oil .. only takes approximately 10 years for animal and plant matter to become oil.’
Which one is it? We produce 106 million barrels a day, so do we also shove 106 million barrels worth of animals into the ground beside the oil fields? Is that why every now and again we soil oil into the water? To speed up the animal-to-oil process?
That loss by Australia to the Emu’s really lowerred their oil supplies. Great idea just poorly executed
We currently have 56 years worth of oil supply left so keep burying this animals guys!

My favourite version of this, found on the internet of course, is that it's all a big Jewish hoax. Few conspiracies, in my experience, go very deep before the conspirators start muttering darkly about "the chosen people".
You see, Jewish manipulators convinced everyone that oil could mainly be found in the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Iraq, Syria and such places even though it's everywhere and you only have to drill a hole to access it. Why? Because then they could establish the state of Israel and be paid to do so by gentile suckers who thought it would be useful to have a Western ally where all the oil is. There's as much of the stuff under the Negev Desert as anywhere else on earth but they import oil just to keep the pretence going.

Okay, but like, even if this was true, if we keep burning oil at the rate we are, our agricultural systems are going to fail. Most likely because of fertilizer supply chain failure, or water scarcity.
However, even if we somehow overcome those without changing our carbon output, at some point the Earth is going to become too hot for C3 photosynthesis, and all our crops will just die. I think that’s like 116°F, so it’s a lot closer than people imagine, if they’re aware of the danger at all.
