They may not have ruled, but they certainly rocked.

We haven’t even found fossils of their MBA degrees

Exactly. It is still an area of active research

Now I'm picturing a T-Rex trying to take notes in the middle of my meeting... Thanks a lot.

There was so much time in between that they could have had computers and we would likely never know about it.

The world without us is an interesting book that details how quickly evidence of humans would get wiped away.

There is proof however, that they did in fact fuck:

Well the dinos lasted millions of years so they are doing better than we are.

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Not really. IMO, it's much more impressive to successfully complete a Fallout 2 pacifist run than to just eat plants or other big lizards for a million years πŸ˜›

This is the good kind of pedantic.

Anybody have any interesting dinosaur facts?

Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 7 pts · 3y

They once ruled the world.

They very likely taste like chicken. Chicken are very closely related to dinosaurs and so are crocodiles. Crocodile/alligator meat also allegedly tastes very similarly to chicken.

erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y (5 replies)

Yum. I'd totally eat dino-meat, chicken-flavor or not.

Holzkohlen@feddit.de · 1 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Which dino you think tastes best?

schnitzelbub@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y

I'd bet on raptors, at least for familiarity and close relation to chicken. Pangea fried Caudipterix. PFC.

I'd turn that bad boy into a living-room sized schnitzel in a heartbeat.

*(Historically inaccurate as Caudipterix lived in the late jurassic/early cretaceous, when pangea was already kind of broken apart. Also, it was discovered in China) *

If it's anything like with big mammals, definitely the herbivores. I wouldn't say no to a genuine triceratops steak πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜‚

Sharkwellington@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Pretty sure this is the plot to Butterfly Effect. πŸ€”

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

That herbivores are tastier? That movie must be VERY different from what I previously heard, then! πŸ˜›

Stupid dinosaurs can't even make a rudimentary "might makes right" dictatorship. Even lions can do that.

explodicle@local106.com · 3 pts · 3y

Great, now I want to know about social structures that have been forgotten forever.

z3k3lon@lemmy.pt · 6 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I can totally see a T-Rex rocking a crown.

Raxiel@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

That would be a very brave dentist

Holzkohlen@feddit.de · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Oh, yeah? How is it gonna put it on?

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Very carefully.

MrFlamey@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y

"almost certainly" So you're telling me there is a chance that they did indeed possess the administrative skills needed to rule the planet?

RippleEffect@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I thought the proper phrasing is that they roamed the earth.

Methylman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Yeah but they were probably just wandering

subash@programming.dev · 2 pts · 3y

cool
