Hooray, it's real, that's going straight to !nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

I was literally just wondering if there was a nominative determinism community

Italian name. Grande means big, -oni is suffix for big (plural) so this guy is Biggy big Dino

[-] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

I thought komodo dragons were descended from them?

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

T. Rex and the other dinosaurs shaped like it (the theropods) are the ancestors of birds

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

They could be ancestors of a lot of things!

[-] AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago
