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 .
TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 16 hours ago
my biggest problem is that for animals that still existed artists could not get them right.
So them getting anything right about stone-bone chicken-asaurus seems highly unlikely.

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

Does a dinosaur taste like a chicken or a lizard/fish?
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
I know at least one dinosaur that tastes like chicken: a chicken.
volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
Did you just assume all dinosaurs tasted the same? Or are you asking about a specific dinosaur species?

Yes

Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 1 day ago
I think what makes them interesting to a lot of people is 1. they dominated the world back then and 2. there’s a lot of room for imagination because we know comparatively little about them. How they lived, how exactly they evolved, what they looked like, sounded like. It’s anyone’s guess and some consider that kind of guessing fun. The lack of definitive answers also means there’s always a chance of groundbreaking new discoveries. A fossil with intact pigments for example is to the paleontologist scene what getting ones rocks off while high on crack is to the layman. And then 3. the Jurassic Park franchise got a lot of people hooked.
