  Ok but Spinosaurus and Tryannosaurus lived in different time periods in the late Cretaceous and different continents.

  The web is full of bad spino takes, but these have to be some of the worst.

    Ex ante, I think I’d say the probability of a complete, fully decorated, detailed chart on social media discussion of Spinosaurus being created for this specific discussion is about as large as it being reused again and again on several occasions.

    Also, again ex ante I think I’d say both probabilities are close to zero. So I guess I should reevaluate my priors.

    (Also, my autocorrector insists on fixing “Spinosaurus” into “Tyrannosaurus”. I think my autocorrector should reevaluate its priors too.)

      This image dates at least from 2020, I didn’t create it! Looking around, the oldest occurence I found was from paleoartist Mark Witton posting it on Facebook, but I don’t know whether he’s the original creator or found it somewhere else.
