We haven’t even found fossils of their MBA degrees

[–] redhydride@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly. It is still an area of active research

Now I'm picturing a T-Rex trying to take notes in the middle of my meeting... Thanks a lot.

Well the dinos lasted millions of years so they are doing better than we are.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not really. IMO, it's much more impressive to successfully complete a Fallout 2 pacifist run than to just eat plants or other big lizards for a million years 😛

This is the good kind of pedantic.

Anybody have any interesting dinosaur facts?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 1 year ago

They once ruled the world.

[–] schnitzelbub@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They very likely taste like chicken. Chicken are very closely related to dinosaurs and so are crocodiles. Crocodile/alligator meat also allegedly tastes very similarly to chicken.

[–] erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yum. I'd totally eat dino-meat, chicken-flavor or not.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which dino you think tastes best?

[–] schnitzelbub@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd bet on raptors, at least for familiarity and close relation to chicken. Pangea fried Caudipterix. PFC.

I'd turn that bad boy into a living-room sized schnitzel in a heartbeat.

*(Historically inaccurate as Caudipterix lived in the late jurassic/early cretaceous, when pangea was already kind of broken apart. Also, it was discovered in China) *

If it's anything like with big mammals, definitely the herbivores. I wouldn't say no to a genuine triceratops steak 😋 😂

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure this is the plot to Butterfly Effect. 🤔

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That herbivores are tastier? That movie must be VERY different from what I previously heard, then! 😛

Stupid dinosaurs can't even make a rudimentary "might makes right" dictatorship. Even lions can do that.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 3 points 1 year ago

Great, now I want to know about social structures that have been forgotten forever.

[–] z3k3lon 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can totally see a T-Rex rocking a crown.

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That would be a very brave dentist

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, yeah? How is it gonna put it on?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Very carefully.

[–] MrFlamey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"almost certainly" So you're telling me there is a chance that they did indeed possess the administrative skills needed to rule the planet?

[–] RippleEffect@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought the proper phrasing is that they roamed the earth.

[–] Methylman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but they were probably just wandering
