    Seems like a valid argument

      If I was younger I’d call him an antisocial psycopath, but tbh we could probably use less people and more dinosaurs…

      Only issue is that it has to remain indiscriminate, and maybe move him around the globe a bit.

        more dinosaurs

        We’ve got more than twenty-six billion (and growing) just in chickens alone; I’d say that’s more than enough when it comes to dinosaurs.

    Question. Does the dinosaur transformation still cure the cancer?

    source
    • NielsBohron@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If I had cancer, I would see that as an absolute win.

      Shit, even as a healthy (if overweight) man approaching middle age, I’d be tempted to volunteer for dino-gene therapy. “You mean I could continue life as I am and watch my health slowly fall apart or I could be a dinosaur? Can I still talk to my family? You know what, nevermind. Where do I sign up?”

      I’ve never met a dinosaur with cancer

        *taps head* Can’t have cancer if you’re fossilized.

        Dinosaur fossils with signs of cancer have been found.

        And birds can get cancer too, of course.

      Since we’re not all dinosaurs right now, it’s safe to assume that his plans were thwarted.

      I read this issue digitally through Marvel Unlimited.

      I’m not sure which story arc it was, sorry.

      source
  • notabot@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    He could charge for that. I reckon people would queue around the block to be turned into sentient dinosaurs. He could be one rich dino dude with huge fanbase of folks who’ve got his product and idolize him. That’s bound to work out well for everyone…

    • PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Free cancer treatment. You gotta pay to be a dino tho.

      source
      • notabot@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Absolutely. That’s the thing that always gets me about so many ‘villains’, they could inevitability gain their desired ends much more easily by being ‘good’ but persist in being evil.

  • Big_Bob@hexbear.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    What if cancer could be cured by turning the patient into a dinosaur?

    Ever heard of a dino with cancer?

    source
    • oce@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think depending on the dino, they didn’t have the same pteryx to develop one.

  • whotookkarl@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Pretty sure that’s from the spiderman x-men crossover where spiderman becomes a teacher at Xavier’s. It’s a pretty short run with just a few issues and a really good read imo.

    Mad paleontologist doesn’t know that Pterosaurs (which he turned himself into) are not Dinosaurs.

    source
    • JargonWagon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Maybe it’s a self deprecating joke and he’s simultaneously calling himself a nobody! /s

      source
    • dmalteseknight@programming.dev ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      To be fair he said he will turn people into dinosaurs, not himself.

      source
    • darkphotonstudio@beehaw.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t know how serious they are, but there are calls to categorise them as Dino’s.

      source
      • lauha@lemmy.one ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Calls from serious scientists or just some people who want Pluto to be a planet because they don’t know what’s going on?

        Can you link me so I can read more. I’m interested.
