I would argue, that orcas are way scarier.

I’d argue sperm whales regularly wrestling colossal squids is also extremely badass.
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I’m not even sure the animal depicted is a sperm whale.
Looks like that little fellow

I would argue it’s the same as a pack of wolves vs. a single bear.
kolmaskommentoija@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
More like pack of humans with spears vs. a single bear.

What about salt water crocodiles though?
notabot@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Crocodiles aren’t descended from dinosaurs, they evolved along side them and outlasted them.
Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Doesn’t everything descent from everything else?
What makes them not a dinosaur?
OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
They’re not dinosaurs.

Your butthole isn’t a dinosaur

Crocodiles aren’t dinosaurs, penguins are

Dinosaurs got wiped out because they all got too cozy and complacent with their lives. Luckily that will never happen to humans
Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Bro penguins are literally alive
abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
So are chickens and I can anecdotaly confirm that they lead very cozy lives. Mostly due to me pamperin them a lot.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No they’re not

I hate how people say birds are literally dinosaurs. That’s like saying homo erectus are still alive today.

i think it was more that they were all really big and couldn’t survive a massive resource restriction. we dont have the same problems, being omnivorous generalists who can eat pretty much anything. if something like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs happened to us a lot of us would die sure, but the species would survive. we could still get power from wind, dams, fossil fuels, and nuclear, and grow food indoors using grow lights. most people wouldnt make it but most likely enough would that wed still have a stable breeding population when the dust settled.

Wish we couldn’t survive it, and it looks to be a slow, painful burn out for us.
