You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 8 points 2 days ago

If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

It's too bad the Stenograsaurus never reached it's evolutionary peak, just think of the records we could have had from that time!

Well they dropped the 'a' from the Apt-erodactyl because their daily performance felt phoned in.

[-] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 70 points 3 days ago

You got it all wrong, it wasn't "rule" as in "management" it was "rule" as in "radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*".

Just seeing that made the theme song pop into me head full force. Crazy how things can stick with you.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

I didn't know they had a ruler. I thought they were an autonomous collective.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You're fooling yourself. They were living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class dinosaurs...

[-] Uruanna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

[-] hungryphrog 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They probably didn't have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn't invented yet.

[-] hungryphrog 7 points 2 days ago

Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Just because T-Rex has those little arms didn't mean it wasn't good at typing!

[-] Grassgrowz@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

should i put eating and pooping on my CV??

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

You mean: ruling your house.

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

He is on his throne

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You don't already?

Do you even want that IT job?

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They made Anarchy work

[-] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well if you were alive back then dinosaurs would be the ones to be the ones to decide if you lived or died

[-] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Are we ruling the Earth or making the biggest mess ever in history? Who's to say who has the better admin skills?

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Dinosaurs had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!

[-] hungryphrog 1 points 2 days ago

Ruling the Earth and making the biggest mess ever in history are not mutually exclusive.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago

They did a better job than we are.

[-] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 19 points 3 days ago

we barely know a thing about them. maybe they were burning trash on the sidewalk

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

If they had elevators that could handle Brachiosaurus then let the trash burn and pee flow in the streets.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren't ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I'm not an expert but I know enough to know there's a lot more out there.

[-] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I think the word you're looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

My bad, thank you

[-] amon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

It's interesting how dinosaurs went from largest animals on land to small creatures we factory farm

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

It's is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

We need an imminent giant meteor impact to know for sure

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 3 days ago

Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide

[-] Foxfire@pawb.social 15 points 3 days ago

Almost certainly

So you're saying there's a chance!

[-] Kompressor@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Washing away the brutal bureaucracy of the Devonian period as well smh.

[-] Boozilla@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 9 points 3 days ago

Not what Dinosaur Train told me

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Once upon a time, there was a mom
Her name was Mrs. Pteranodon
Sitting on her nest she heard scratching and said
"Oh boy, my eggs are hatching"
One by one her kids popped free
Baby Pteranadons, one two three
"I'll name you Tiny, Shiny, and Don"
But Tiny said "Wait... what's that noise?"

Through the ferns and trees, orange she did spy
And as she began to focus she made out an eye
Fixed right on her and her newborn pups
With her husband out she knew time was up
With tiny in her beak and shiny clasped up tight
As fast as she could she took off in flight
Dawn called out
"Oh no! Mom please!!"
Shiny clipped a branch and fell through the trees
Mrs. T couldn't hold back her shouts
She accidentally spit Tiny out
By then the T Rex was right upon them
It had made a quick snack out of dawn
And as it raced towards her other kin
She whispered to herself "never again"

"We'll bring this beast back to our home
And raise him like one of our own
teach him tolerance and love
He'll be as docile as a dove
(She is a time Traveller after all)
He'll grow into a T-Rex Jesus
Or T-Rex Hitler if it please us
We'll control his destiny
Now are you against or are you with me?"

Mr. T look up and sighed
A single tear fell from his eye
And he said "No we'll raise him right
And treat him well
His attitude, well time will tell
But if we can beat nature with nuture
Then dinosaur truly is the dominant lifeform."

"We're not technically dinosaurs" said Mrs. T

Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train)
Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train)
Shes gonna use (what has she got to lose) The dinosaur train!
