Why wouldn't they lower their head to vomit? Everything does...

[-] halykthered@lemmy.ml 55 points 3 months ago

Perhaps through the evidence of a crater, and it's depth in the type of ground in which it was found, is enough for scientists to determine these creatures actually threw up fully erect, not unlike the night I lost my virginity.

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 months ago

threw up fully erect

It's called an orgasm

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I've had my orgasm all over the kitchen floor after downing a litre of mead.

[-] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Or it threw up over the ledge; a lot of animals puke over the edge of something

[-] GasMeterCrasher@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

The new "hell in a cell." Get to work and godspeed.

[-] credo@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Sometimes you just don’t have time man.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 13 points 3 months ago

how else would you crush your enemies with vomit

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago

Speak for yourself

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I elongate my neck when I puke, like a turtle. Not sure about you. I do however bend over by the waist/hips.

Some things you just don't want to be remembered by history for.

[-] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 49 points 3 months ago

Hate to be that guy and ruin everyone's fun but this is science memes, dinosaurs like that would not have there head up like that. They rarely raised there head above there shoulders.

According to Kent Stevens, computer-modeled reconstructions of the skeletons made from the vertebrae indicate that sauropod necks were capable of sweeping out large feeding areas without needing to move their bodies, but were unable to be retracted to a position much above the shoulders for exploring the area or reaching higher.

Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.

I'm impressed that you managed to misspell "their" every time there. The only correct spelling was in the quoted text.

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

+1 for consistency.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Like, I want to up vote the fact checking, but I want to down vote the careless grammar. I'm so torn.

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Make a second account and do both.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Make a new account and do two (three) pieces of work instead of no work for the same net result. 🤔🎱🙂‍↔️

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Exactly! Maximum effort for no result.

It's like a management position

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well you got me there. And I bet it pays considerably more too.

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

So I went and stalked them. They largely ignore that ‘their’ exists, which is amazing, since their texts are otherwise near-perfect English.

A few examples of their using ‘their’: 1

[F]or the police to chase their had to be a reasonable suspicion […]

2

Their approval among there base of shias has only gone up since the conflict started

3

[…] let people know about their bias […]

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This and are we all ok with the vomit containing Dino Bones?

Edit: or this the bones of dinos killed by the puke force?

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Actually, the science does not seem to be settled, with there being controversy about the specific neck posture.

Sauropod neck posture - Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropod_neck_posture

[-] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Do we even know if they were capable of vomiting?

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Seeing how both us and birds can vomit, probably. I imagine that developed very early. If you eat something harmful, you're dead if you can't vomit. If you don't have the brainpower to identify safe and harmful things, you're pretty screwed.

[-] gens@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

Didn' know birds can vomit. Horses can't.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Horses are probably the single most fucked up animal on the planet, with maybe the sole exception of Przewaski's horse. Seriously we fucked them up so badly, like im pretty sure if every dog was a badly fucked up as horses they would be a hybrid of American bulldogs, Bull terriers, and chihuahuas.

This is to say never use a horse as a barometer for anything when it comes to standard functions.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

Huh. I might be totally wrong. I thought they could but I'm not really that knowledgeable on that.

[-] subignition@fedia.io 35 points 3 months ago

"Brachiosaurus puke crater" is an excellent band name

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago
[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 14 points 3 months ago

Sold out. Tetrapod Vomit Divot is still playing down the street, however.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 months ago

"Puke crater" alone describes the magnitude.

[-] UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 months ago

Try explaining that one after death.

"How'd you die? I got eaten by a T-Rex!"

"I, um well, I...I was going for a walk to find food and I know following this big guy who never eats the lower stuff is great, he cant reach it and the bugs that fall off the trees hes eating are great! As I was munching on a fleeing bug, the big guy burps and I looked up to see him puke. No matter how fast I tried to scurry away the goo was too much and it squished me flat"

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully you have better luck on this side"

[-] DrMoronicAcid@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

This reminds me of a similar paper - "pressures produced when penguins poo"

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Heeey, now I don't feel so bad about my University days, thanks!

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

Why have I had to wait two and a half years to receive this important information?

[-] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 7 points 3 months ago

I’m impressed someone thought about this question

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Police investigators are on the scene dusting for regurgitant.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Needs more jpeg.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Now I have to know: Do we have fossilized dinosaur puke? I know we have fossilized dung. Or could they not puke like horses.
