My takeaway from this is that T-Rex probably tasted delicious when breaded and deep fried.

[-] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Their tiny t-rex arms were probably the chicken wings of their time. Forbidden wings..🤤

Which part(s) of the t-rex do the nuggets come from?

[-] TurtleTourParty@midwest.social 11 points 6 months ago

All of them

You're telling me ancestor worship is eating...oh nevermind.

I can't remember what they are but I'm certain there are reasons we prefer to eat herbivores generally.

[-] IMALlama@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

From a farming perspective, herbavores require less input to raise.

Hypothetical example: to raise one herbivore you need an input of 3 grains. If your carnivore requires more than one herbivore's worth of input you're looking at needing more grain, plus having to rear the herbivore(s).

I don't know if there are flavor implications between the two and if those differences would decrease if both were farmed.

I think you're right.

I was thinking more like in ocean food chains, where mercury accumulates as you move further up the food chain.

... but in the hunter gatherer sense, of course we eat more ibex or buffalo than we do lion or cougar, because there are quite simply far fewer of the latter wandering around on the plains. Which is pretty much what you said just arranged in a different way.

Heh. I was outside this morning, having a little hippie speedball, listening to the birds chirp.

There were a lot out this morning. It was a symphony. Tons of calls.

Then I realized how wild it must’ve sounded here 70 million years ago.

Beware of Chicken

Why does that T-Rex look like it's from the Hellraiser dimension?
