You want to know why I find it boring? Where are there ding dongs!?!? You expect me to watch/read about these things and never see their ding dongs? NEVER!!!!

What about dinotiddies?

Edit: I just realized how dumb that statement was lol.

The internet has something for everyone

Sigh (unzips).

It seemed pretty fitting for someone with your username tbh.

I watched Jurassic World: Rebirth the other day (it's alright). It's such an odd franchise - one that seems to have lost faith in its own premise. There's this meta assumption that audiences are bored with dinosaurs (I'm not), and that the solution to this imagined problem is to mutate them (it really isn't, it's invariably just silly).

I also don't care that dinos couldn't really survive in the modern climate - that's what the whole 'suspension of disbelief' thing is for.

Wtf? They couldn't survive? The fukken Nanuqsaurus was a tyrannosaurid living in boreal Alaska. Dinosaurs lived in extremely cold climates and thrived there.

Seeing "Sue" the tyrannasaur's skeleton at the Chicago Field Museum is pretty impressive. Last time I was there, she was still in the main hall. You walk in and this thing is towering over you, making you just a little glad you didn't exist 67 million years ago because you are a perfectly sized snack for a 12 meter long T-Rex.

I used to walk by a replica every day on my way to work, yeah it's pretty impressive. One of these days I've got to take a weekend trip out to Chicago to see the real one.

I saw the T Rex or similar dinosaur animatronic in the British Natural history museum and TBH, it was long, but not as tall as I thought it would be. I pictured them being several stories tall, but it's like... a bit taller than a large box truck to double decker bus?

Ughh have you ever tried going on a date with a dinosaur. Can barely hold a conversation and only interested in talking about how they ruled the world and I should be glad they aren't accidentally stepping on mammals like me. Like God get a grip dude .

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

were they lizards or birds?! Idk anymore. Everyday they say something different

[-] Patches@ttrpg.network 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You're really going to let the flat earthers redefine dinosaurs.

They even tried to make Pluto not a planet. Pfftt

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Have you heard about Pluto? that's messed up

Wait! Lizards that can fly lile birds?!! Dragons?!!!

Does a dinosaur taste like a chicken or a lizard/fish?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

I know at least one dinosaur that tastes like chicken: a chicken.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago

Did you just assume all dinosaurs tasted the same? Or are you asking about a specific dinosaur species?

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago

Like Dino chicken nuggets

my biggest problem is that for animals that still existed artists could not get them right.

So scientist/artist getting anything right about stone-bone chicken-asaurus seems highly unlikely to me.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Those jurassic world movies are the problem
