Akshually, modern birds are descended from dinosaurs, effectively making them dinosaurs themselves. So humans did, and still do, live with dinosaurs.

Little birds are so cute, until you watch them hunting for prey and imagine yourself at that scale.

Watched a chicken jumpkick a rat and the rat bleed to death. We are lucky the world isn't full of cassowary.

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I mean it’s not hollowed out and literally filled with them, but we do have SOME cassowaries.

I suppose someone small enough could ride an emu thus be riding a dinosaur! Thank you for that thought.

people ride ostriches, I did that for work a few times. fun

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Ostrich rodeo? Rancher? Member of Jackass?

I worked in a nature reserve, a couple times we needed emergency treatment for ostriches, and our vet said wrestling an ostrich to its knees was safer for the ostrich than using sedatives...

I'm not sure if its true, but when I was 18 years old, it was the highlight of my life

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 7 points 1 week ago

Not only that, but some countries are fully governed by dinosaurs. Ask me how I know...

And only 41% believe it!

I suspect many survey respondents were right for the wrong reason, or vice-versa. I have two dinosaurs in my house right now.

And once you’re done telling everyone a tomato is a fruit, the rest of us still aren’t going to put it in a fruit salad.

Don’t be pedantic, you know what they meant.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Fuck me…. Missed that.

being a fruit isn't an indicator about what to do with it. are you putting cucumbers in fruit salads too?

god forbid you put a strawberry in the fruit salad, because that isn't a fruit.

you're the one being pedantic. birds are all dinosaurs, that is a scientific consensus.

that doesn't mean that a pigeon will be the next monster in Jurassic world 8. but there are all dinosaurs.

same way humans are also primates and mammals and animals...
