    That’s a cactus, but to answer your other question: Cacti aren’t able to connect to the internet despite looking vaguely like antennae, so it’s a decent symbol to get the point across.

    because having no internet feels like being in the stone age, when dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

    (this was before Jesus invented the internet)

    some* dinosaurs predate the invention of the internet

    also the desert is a remote location less likely to get a signal

      is that why we call them predators?

      What dinosaurs were discovered to have evolved after the internet? Otherwise even if they still exist in some way they predate it.

    So that you could play the funny T-rex game.

    Make sure to hit the space bar a couple times when you see that screen.

        Say this is a joke?

        The developers chose the dinosaur theme as a reference to the game’s function, a joke that not having an internet connection is equivalent to living in the “prehistoric ages”.

        It starts a dinosaur themed game where you scroll endlessly and have to avoid obstacles

    Boring answer: T-Rex has proportionally short arms. It can’t reach the Internet.

    Actual answer: They didn’t have a choice in that. They programmed it at gunpoint, held by a T-Rex.
