  Are we sure dinosaurs didn’t have F15s?

    Yes but only because McDonald Douglas didn’t exist yet. If you do find evidence of them having jet aircraft we might be able to invalidate some patents under prior art.

      afaik, patents don’t care about that. You can even patent things that don’t exist.

    Same way he’s getting around those back plates and thagomizer:

    Life, uh… finds a way.

    Their arms were about the same length as human arms. I don’t see any issues with that picture.

  I thought this was about the grass until I actually looked at the dinosaurs in the picture

  • mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Huh, yeah the grass is also inaccurate

  If that’s a Tomcat, where’s that lizard’s RIO?

  Chronologically, sure. But are years really the appropriate measure of accuracy here? Biological evolution moves a lot slower than cultural or technological evolution does.

    Hold on. Dinosaurs might of had like some kind of post communist utopian society. They might have been more culturally developed than humans.

      Looking at the state of the world… you might be right.

  What made evolution accelerate that dinosaur evolution took so long, but turning little mammals into humans was fast?

    Mass extinctions promote rapid expansion and diversification of surviving species into newly available niches.

      imagine the roach empires that will rise once we do ourselves in

      There’s also a Hypothesis iirc that this rapid expansion also lowered our life span. Longevity Bottleneck Hypothesis though I think this one includes dinosaurs hunting mammals, and maybe Disposable Soma Theory.

      Huh, the second one could probably be used to explain elves in fantasy: long life, low reproduction rate.
