it started with gamergame, everyone knows. It just accelerated in 2016 because the intelligence agencies got involved then. It was mostly just activists from one side or another who did it for free before then.
I like how mannish its face looks. Really hitting the nail on the head here

Oookay so pedophiles (leftists) spamming disgusting sex propaganda at children, more at 10!
have a nice day, you fricking rapists

Are the paedophiles in the room with us now?
All known mega theropods clusterin pretty closely around a specific weight suggests otherwise.
But those bumpkins are just uneducated neo luddites who think they're fighting a culture war against Biden and Pfeizer. Where is your evidence that amomgst the paleontology community, "feather homosexualry" is dying out because people are waking up to the lies of "chink peasants"?
most of that is already happens to an extent so I can see it
Dinosaurs
Cool dino 🙂
I like this one, it has lips but not "bear lips"
Let's post more cool dinos
Spinosaurus, my beloved...
https://files.catbox.moe/pmcuw5.png
Wonder if they would be buttholes to people like Salties or super chill like Orcas.
So this is it? They were really just fish all along?
Almost certainly
We don't know.
The idea of Spinosaurus as a wading bird doesn't make any sense, because it is too short to get prey large enough to feed it.
Think about it, Spinosaurus was almost 50 feet long and 8-9 tons. It would need fish that were massive in their own right to reasonably sustain itself. Fish that can only be found in water that is quite deep. But Spinosaurus is 7-8 feet tall at the hips, so it clearly couldn't wade in deep enough to get those fish.
So it either was mostly aquatic or some other niche we haven't figured out yet.
There were big fish back then. Keep in mind, the modern groups of fish were not around yet. Large lungfish, gars, arrowowanas and primitive shit like that was the norm. And humans didn't exist yet to drive everything to fricking extinction yet. They would have had plenty of food.
You need a certain minimum depth to handle a fish of a certain size.
How many of those fish are going to be in water less than 7 feet deep? Not many.
Large river fish in our time still require significant depth.
Mekong Giant Catfish are 10 feet long and weigh >500lbs at full size. They live in water that is ~30 feet deep.
Spinosaurus would have to be a fully aquatic hunter to catch the equivalent of that in its environment.
Why can't it have done both? Why would it have had to hyper-specialize as either a wader or a diver? It probably hunted in all sorts of ways to get the food it needed.
That's the answer that makes the most sense so clearly it's going to be ignored
Sure, animals are diverse in behavior.
But we typically categorize them based on what they do most often.
Lions might eat small fish by the edge of a river once in a while, but they're primarily ambush and pursuit predators. So we call them the latter.
What Spinosaurus was doing most often, is the interesting question. Because sure it also scavenged, ate smaller herbivores on land if it caught any, and all of that, but it was doing 'something' most commonly to feed itself.
I like the interpretation of the sail making it look bigger than it really is, making stealing kills from other predators easier
the sail could have been to alert other spinosaurs that there was one here wading or swimming about already. either that or it would be camoflagued so that it could approach animals drinking on the shoreline easier?
How do you camouflage a 1.5 metre long sail?
It's actually even bigger, more like 2 meters
leaf coloured 🙂
>It would need fish that were massive in their own right to reasonably sustain itself
There were fish the size of cars
>Fish that can only be found in water that is quite deep
A 15 ft sawfish can comfortably swim in water less than 2 ft deep
A Great White Shark can swim in 2-3 feet of water too.
Doesn't mean that it ever will. Hell, an Orca can probably make into 5 feet of water and still be mobile.
Fish tend to want a certain depth of water for mobility purposes and hiding themselves from predators.
it would probably not have a very mobile lifestyle as a full adult. just standing still in the reeds, fishing on whatever came to rest in it's shadow, walking around in water scares fish away you have to stand still. the big sail would have helped against overheating standing still in the african sun. not sure what I think about the tail, maybe fat storage, as I think generally fat would have been stored in the base of the tail, it doesn't seem like a big stretch to add some bits above and below the spine to that fat storage. and if the area it lived in was seasonally wet, having saved up fat in the tail could help fasting through the dry season, with some odd bits of carrion or whatever they could catch.
They still haven't decided.

This dude just has to bee shitposting right? there's no way he thinks they actually looked like this
But that's what the Science says they looked like.
Why are you feeding him ?
How long before these idiots start claiming T. rex was actually a synapsid?
Can you stop posting these ugly fricking images? we get it, paleotards are stupid, you don't have to burn my eyes on every thread with their shit
Why is it illegal to draw tyrannosaurus rex skinny/lean with scales?
Because that would be accurate. And neoliberalism can only exist through subverting everything. Otherwise people fall into empire.
> a “Super Rex” with a length of 70 feet, and the height of 22 feet.
I'm a huge rexgay, but this is just ridiculous.
whats with this obsession with turning trex into an overweight brown cgi blob?
Subversion.
Targeted at all 5 people who think being obsessed with a 90% made up lizard makes them manly?
Lemme go tell all the DnD nerds that dragons had feathers and laugh as they all transition on the spot
Whats next, you’re being subverted if some troony makes fun of your favorite anime? You nerds are just prime bullying material even for trannies
So now we've moved onto the "DINOSAURS WEREN'T EVEN REAL!!" stage of cope. You dumb israelites all read from the same play book and it's tiresome.
Dinosaurs as they were depicted in the 90's were never real. They were as made up as Dragons.
>paleoschizo discovers that Jurassic Park and Walking with Dinosaurs were in fact not documentaries but works of fiction
We're making progress!
Jurassic Park is a documentary though. You've been coping, seething and wishing you could dilate (you will never be a real troony) for 30 years now because of it.
Yep. It's paleo-pilpul basically.
>You nerds are just prime bullying material
Fricking kek, is that what you think is happening here?
What the actual frick is this? It looks like it contracted a prehistoric STD. This is just some weirdos art right?
>T-rex could be 70% larger
>trannies REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
never change Wauf
Sexual dimmorphism is nature, being trans is a big pharma capitalistic invention
Transgenderism is when you can't accurately reconstruct dinosaurs. The more inaccurate the reconstruction, the more trans you are.
I for one am glad that paleoart is returning to the 3-D Dinosaur Adventure (1998) aesthetic.
I miss CD-ROM educational bullshit so bad bros.
We are going to keep fricking reinventing what Dinosaurs """actually""" looked like until another meteor hits us
I mean, that's what we should be doing? As more evidence comes to light we should keep refining our images of what these creatures looked like to build ever more accurate extrapolations.
>As more evidence comes to light we should keep refining our images of what these creatures looked like to build ever more accurate extrapolations.
And do you really think that's what's happening here?
Not only have we never found "evidence" to support abominations like

>I mean, that's what we should be doing?
No it isn't, you fricking midwit. You're not supposed to just make shit up.
Honestly, t-rex with a beak kinda looks cool.
>t-rex had lips so it means they had mammalian faces
Why are ""paleo""artists so moronic? terrified of being cancelled for portraying a singular lizard-like trait in dinosaurs?
Not even going to mention the feathers or literal whiskers
Think its possible that rex teeth were mostly obscured by gums/lips as seems to be the case in komodo dragons?
The relative size of the teeth to the rest of the skull seems similar.
Actually serious lip reconstructions that don't try to make theropods look like dogs go for that route
Like this. Blue Rhino has done a great job creating plausible lips on Theropods, but I'm still unsure if it's correct or not. Sauropod lip reconstruction reinforces my skepticism, becuase Sauropod jaws give even greater problems if you try to claim they had lips fully covering their teeth. The fact that both of these groups are saurischians and this is the most primitive branch of dinosaurs strongly implies they didn't have lips the same way lizards did. Sauropods, in fact, have a similar problem to T. rex in that T. rex has to have its incisiform front baby teeth exposed so it can use them to scrape meat off of bone. Similarly sauropod feeding requires a scraping action similar to marine sponge and algae feeding fish like Surgeonfish, Angelfish and Moorish Idols, so at least the tips of their teeth were likely exposed and at a similar goofy mouth partly open angle.
>Like this. Blue Rhino has done a great job creating plausible lips on Theropods, but I'm still unsure if it's correct or not.

Why is it so difficult for most paleoartist to just do this?
I've explained this before. Science has become very cultish and batshit insane. MOST "scientists" and science-adjacent morons have no actual interest in discovering the truth or revealing it to others. They're trying to make the most moronic, tabloid-tier shit possible because it gets them attention and money. Brian engh, for example, would never be known to anyone if he didn't post pedo-gore and moronic weimar-tier opinions 24/7. Blue Rhino is one of the very few bastions of scientific rigor left on the planet. I've been afraid for years that the rot would make its way to them eventually, but so far they've stayed above it.
Projection. Science isn't "cultish", you just don't want to listen to the experts and instead want to cling to your nonsense awesomesaurs.
i know this is predictable bait but i mean, its a 40 foot reptile with huge teeth that wrestled giant lizard bulls to death and pulled their heads off, it was always awesome, its always gonna be awesome, no it wasnt slow, no it wasnt vegan, no it wasnt gay, no it didnt sit around having tea parties, no it wasnt a communist, no it didnt take it up the ass, no it wasnt covered in gay pride parade feathers.
theres nothing any pedantic redditor can do or say thats gonna make t rex not awesome, try as they might
It's just an oversized vulture.
>no it didnt take it up the ass,
I mean... technically it did
???
Reptiles like Tyrannosaurs only have one hole, All dinosaur sex is ass sex. just like all crocodile sex, bird sex, or lizard sex.
There's no fossil evidence for this. Until a mummified dinosaur is found with preserved cloaca, we must assume they had no cloaca or anus at all.
We actually have skin impressions preserved, though I think that both are technically Ornithischians. But given that birds. crocodiles, and Ornithischian dinosaurs all demonstrate cloacas, we can say that all dinosaurs should be assumed to have cloacas unless specifically demonstrated otherwise.
>ass-bracketing
we do, and we could work out it's color, it had a dark butthole.
didn't psitaccosaurus have a preserved cloaca?
>These aren't your grandpa's dinosaurs
All women are worthless and age like milk.
Not subversive enough.
I don't know why, but ever since the dinosaur renaissance, paleoartists have been trying their hardest to give dinosaurs - especially Triceratops, T. rex and Apatosaurus - as mammalian of faces as possible.
This is a common belief but very wrong. Dinosaur jaws are totally different from lizard jaws. They close like a box even if you remove the teeth. Lizard jaws are more like mammal jaws: if you remove the teeth, the jaws close with a large gap where the teeth should be. That's why modern lizard models of dinosaur jaws, lips and oral tissues can't be used.
This animals skull is broken. It couldn't physically close like this in life.
Yes they could. Sue was found like this also. The claim they couldn't close like this is pure cope to try to give them mammal boot lips. Early synapsids ALSO had jaws like this.
Damn i didin't realise theropods were this flexible!
What a fricking stupid comment. The spinal column is flexible. The jaws aren't. Now break all the teeth out of a human skull and close it like this. You literally can't. These animals have primitive jaw structure and lack a proper ramus which modern mammals have and modern lizards have enough of to make their jaws unclosable even without the teeth.
Everyone does. It's odd. But like I said it occurred in early synapsids also. That's why there's always been such a huge debate about saurischian lips. Their jaws aren't organized like other reptiles. But in gorgonopsids, for example, there is clear evidence of a soft nose, which implies soft facial tissues generally. Not so in ANY Dinosaur.
Some still do it..
And guess who that's related to? Birds do it too. Interesting.
What is the cause for that death pose anyway? why does it happen so often?
Dino yoga.
Scavengers pose them that way to humiliate them
>"No the skull wasn't crushed!"
>posts another crushed skull
You could at least try a little since you even tried to pretend to be a well known archeologist once
I find it hard to make sense of how the teeth of the upper jaw seem to be flush against the bone of the lower.
I knew this looked familiar. Modern paleo"artists" confirmed for the 4,550,978th time to just be weird sex fetishists.
You have eyes, don't you?
No.
I could see a Dragon-like monster with this design
God those teeth are awful
Soience
Old and gay.
And this one was even gayer.
The actual paleontologists were homosexuals for explicitly mentioning that the bone/body mass ratio decreases the larger the animal is, and then still using a maximum mass estimate as if this thing had had the bone to body mass ratio of the smallesr dolphins (a realistic estimate gets you circa grey whale mass), and the wider internet were homosexuals for believing it without any factchecking whatsoever.
There is not a single paper positing that Tyrannosaurus was a scavenger. The only one who ever advocated for it was Jack Horner, because he's pissed people like Tyrannosaurus more than Maiasaurus.
But even Jack Horner didn't write a paper on it. He talked to the press about it, he arranged a documentary about it that killed 3000 people, but he never did any actual academic work on such a thesis.
Scavenger Tyrannosaurus is literally just Jack Horner being pissy and laughed out of the room by everyone else.
>that killed 3000 people
What?
jack horner did 9/11 confirmed
It aired on 2001/09/10 and was so bad that 3000 people died the very next day.
Wow. And he got away with this too? He can’t keep doing it…
He framed some muslims.
Real answer. troony "memes" are just signalling your political alignment or a cuckservative meme under a new coat of paint but the point is to signal your politics at the end of the day. They can't hold up as jokes outside of that.
That's why most of them are boring stuff like "my favorite media character is trans rights" or just "x is trans"
See:
Autism. A massive portion of transsexuals are autistic
cute Rexy
I think he went too thick on this one.
He's going for crocodilian levels of mass, but crocodiles spend most of their active time in the water where that weight is supported.
A Komodo dragon by comparison is still a brawny and strongly built reptile, but is comparatively leaner.
T. rex would be closer to a Komodo dragon than a crocodile.
Time is a flat circle.
Except this is a good piece of art but this
looks like shit
old times: t rex was a lazy fat blob of fat,
the 90's after jurassic park: trex was a running gallimimus on steroids and hunts its prey
2020s: trex was actually a giant fat lazy blob of fat that never hunts and scavenges meat
Acquatic sauropods are also in vogue again.
>hurr how did such a large creature mate?
>it must have done so in water, of course!
The more I hear of modern paleontology, the more I long for when we just thought they went extinct because they were too lazy to eat.
>aquatic sauropods are in vogue
No they’re not.
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-did-the-biggest-dinosaurs-get-it-on-91312731/
Your next reply will involve a no true scotsman fallacy.
The only time this article mentions aquatic sauropods is citing a hypothesis from 1994, and only to claim sauropods needed lakes for mating, not to live in. It concludes that paragraph with this statement.
> Sauropods were diverse, disparate and widespread animals that roamed in terrestrial habitats all over the world—there’s no reason to presume that the largest dinosaurs had to seek out the nearest deep lake when they got the itch.
You didn’t read your own article, idiot.
Please see
So aquatic sauropods are in vogue in year of our lord 2024 because an article written in 2012 mentions and rejects a hypothesis from the 90’s? You’re seething over nothing.
he clearly doesn't actually stay up to date with this shit so "in vogue" means whatever he remembers hearing about it last time he cursorily looked into it a decade ago
this article has been fact checked and approved by real dinosaur patriots. spinocucks seething.
Most of the world is unfunny, it's why many of the world's "greatest comedians" tend to just rely on profanity and shock value, they're not actually funny.
You're not wrong, but you're also describing yourself.
As far as I'm aware I don't espouse any ideas I know to be dogmatic and fundamentally false, like the existence of a god or the belief in "sex change" in hominids.
It's really hard to be funny from a place of extreme insecurity, especially about a topic that people decide to base their entire personality around. Arguing for something that deep down you know to be false yet acting like its validity is all that matters to your worldview is really a recipe for horrible stuff. Like any extreme form of religion.

No, that's Perucetus, the elephant seal Spinosaurus is nothing but a meme making fun of speculative paleoart
God that reconstruction was moronic, why did they make the head so small and give it fricking hands?
I think they tried to base the proportions on Basilosaurus for some reason so it’s head was smaller in relation to its length, despite basil being long and snakey even by basilosaurid standards
Bull shit there were 25-30 foot tall 80-90-foot long beast of an avian walking around.
I think they mean weight
>And we could only imagine what the Jurassic world would look like with the presence of an even more terrifying T.rex. Again, just to give you an idea of its size, we would increase the length and height of Scotty by 70%. That would be an increase of 29 feet in length, and 9 feet in height (in the hips). And what we got is a real-life Godzilla, a “Super Rex” with a length of 70 feet, and the height of 22 feet.
This is what it says in the article.
Is the article itself moronic? Very possible.
For one T. rex didn't exist during the Jurassic so yeah it's moronic.

Which is why it shouldn't be considered, it's a waste of time
Then stop spending your time seething over irrelevant online popsci, zoomer
>Which is why it shouldn't be considered, it's a waste of time
It makes an important point
we don't know if dinosaurs had a "top size." They were probably more like crocs that never completely stop growing as long as they're alive. Meaning even the largest specimens we find probably aren't as big as they got.
This is important because the public relates to dinosaurs almost entirely based on their size, and we don't actually know which is biggest, or how big they got.
Though as another anon points out, there are probably biomechanical limits to their size, but we don't really know what those limits were. There is some evidence in the form of footprints of much larger T. rex, but footprint evidence isn't very strong because the print may be larger than the foot that made it. Either way, people should be aware that the largest dinosaurs we have found probably aren't anything close to as big as they could get.
>Either way, people should be aware that the largest dinosaurs we have found probably aren't anything close to as big as they could get.
One of the ways we identify domesticated animals in the archaeological record is size distribution. Domesticated animal tend to have a wider size distribution as human support means that animals too large or too small to make it in the wild survive and breed.
Size variability amongst wild animals of a given species is comparatively limited.
Size variation also decreases the higher the metabolic rate is. Reptiles have relatively high size variation, birds have relatively low size variation.
Tyrannosaurus being a late cretaceous theropod likely tended towards lower size variation. Certainly, it is striking that the dimensions of the largest theropods across all continents are damn near perfect matches, which implies that they hit a hard limit.
Quite likely harder than, say, ceratopsians, who'd be towards the lower end of dinosaur metabolic rates.
So chances are, Tyrannosaurus or any of the other giant mid- to late cretaceous theropods really didn't get meaningfully bigger than the fossils we've already found.
possible, but the size variation in Allosaurus indicates indeterminate growth. They're all over the map.
T. rex has less variation, but we also have 1/100th the number of body fossils. And most of the rex fossils we have are teeth, which aren't great indicators of size. It would be very strange if we found the very largest T. rex possible, the odds of that are tiny.
Keep in mind that Allosaurus is a genus. Tyrannosaurus rex is a species.
Size variation within just Allosaurus fragilis, while noticeable, is still considerably more limited.
>Size variation within just Allosaurus fragilis, while noticeable, is still considerably more limited.
it's not, but ok
The largest Jurassic Carnosaurs aren't much smaller than the largest Cretaceous Carnosaurs or Tyrannosaurs we see.
So it is likely that there is basically a hard limit on the size of large theropod dinosaurs and it was hit a few different times.
Nah.
T. rex is like a solid 3 tons bigger than Saurophaganax, what are you talking about?
>size can only mean the one metric we can't actually measure
k
Weight is the way an animal is determined to be bigger than another, otherwise anacondas would be considered bigger than elephants
>Weight is the way an animal is determined to be bigger than another,
not if you can't weigh them.
I agree you comming up with specific numbers is difficult and not very reliable but come the frick on, you can't look at a skeleton for both of them and not see T. rex is WAAAAAY bulkier
Look man, if one is obviously heavier than the other and anon says they're about the same size, maybe- just maybe- he's not talking about weight.
Body mass is still in the air, but beyond that, T. rex was particularly bulky for any large theropod, even among temporal contemporaries.
Within the Allosauroidea you don't see quite as robust of animals.
fricking moron spouting about eternally growing crocs, when a much simpler fricking point is that we have like 20 something sets of (mostly pieces) individuals of Trex, the statistical probability that we have the single biggest individuals is impossibly small. we have thousands of individuals of protoceratops, and yet they are all roughly of similar sizes for their age, indicating that dinosaurs didn't fricking grow as long as they could eat, or we would see much bigger size differences between each individual then we do.

Deal with it. Shouting Black person everywhere is a cope, some fat frick at some US base 'doing their part' won't get in trouble for using the gamer word on Wauf.
If you think this is not happening you're willfully ignorant or deluded, then again, you don't see it as much on Wauf, board would not be this slow if it happened here.
It's the fact people then start taking it as an absolute, not as speculation anymore, because they only read the title, which is usually purposefully inflammatory for rage clicks. Dumbasses, the lot of them.

Evolution by natural selection does not care for "trans people"
I know, it's exciting! I love when the scientific process yields new results
None of these have any actual fossil evidence to back them up by the way.
It's all fantasy.
This is why i don't care for this type of "paleontology".
The 2020 Spinosaurus tail? fricking awesome, as it is known from direct fossil evidence. But all those worthless "could Spinosaurus actually swim?" papers are shit
Right, it's why I'll give some more credence to the megalodon thing since it's based off fossil evidence... but there's no way of knowing if the vertebrae used were actually megalodon since no teeth were found.
I've legit seen the argument "there's nothing else from that area and time period that was as large" so it must have been megalodon...
Bitch, maybe it wasn't? Maybe multiple kinds of large sharks can coexist? They literally have no idea and are just deciding on shit arbitrarily.
It's like future scientists finding basking shark vertebrae and deciding they belonged to a great white based on the fallacious notion that great whites are the "largest known" sharks from the current era because they're the largest ones with sizable teeth that fossilize... which means whale sharks and basking sharks just aren't known to science yet.
Am I saying these vertebrae were not megalodon's? No, but there's no way of knowing for sure that they are, either. Jumping to conclusions is not sound science.
That's a good point. There's a very strong case to be made that we only ever are able to look at a fraction of any ancient ecosystem, and there are entire niches we'll forever be ignorant of.
>But all those worthless "could Spinosaurus actually swim?" papers are shit
Definitely. Regardless of how aquatic it was I guarantee an animal that lived around water could fricking swim. The fact there were so many people arguing over that seems ridiculous
Reminds me of those papers arguing that therizinosaurus' claws were fricking display structures
The debate wasn't about the ability to swim, but how acquatic its lifestyle and hunting methods were.
Whether it was a giant Bearstork or a Crocoduck
It's all gay attention grabbing shit as usual.
T-Rex had lips though:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/t-rex-had-lips-that-concealed-its-teeth-study-says-180981914/
Oh god, I never even paid attention to the fact that the boot lipped T. rex was witton's doing. I shouldn't be surprised. It's just openly wrong too because T. rex had incisiform teeth that scraped bone and lips would have been in the way. Reptiles don't have flexible lips.
Didn’t they figure out Megalodons may have been built more similarly to Makos than Great Whites?
No, they did not "figure out", they speculated and did some computer models, which ultimately mean nothing. Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong, but the fact is we don't know.
>we could only imagine what the Jurassic world would look like with the presence of an even more terrifying T.rex
gays
It's almost like they just make shit up as they go along to try to pique people's interest like marketing teams.
>T-Rex is the ultimate predator, king of the dinosaurs!
>Wow, cool! T-Rex is my favorite dinosaur, it sounds awesome!
>Actually T-Rex was a scavenger like a vulture and couldn't stand up to other dinosaurs in a real fight. Isn't that so nuanced and interesting?
>Oh... no, not really...
>What if I told you they had feathers like birds? That's cool and new, right?
>generations of kids completely lose all interest in dinosaurs and paleontology
>paleontology starts struggling to be taken seriously
>H-Hey, guys! W-We just found out T-Rex might have been 70% bigger a-a-and actually fearsome! And no feathers, either! Please come back...
Paleontology is more popular now than it ever has been except maybe in 1993-94. You're projecting your own bitter neuroticisms onto the public at large
No it isn't. Featherhomosexualry has been popular for the past 30 years, and now it's losing traction as everyone realizes the entire trend was a fricking lie created by chink peasants and dishonest ~~*westerners*~~ trying to capitalize on doctored fossils. What's ACTUALLY becoming popular is people claiming dinosaurs never existed and you brought that on yourselves.
Do you have any evidence? I think you’re just seeing your own posts, forget that you made them in your mind broken state, and then come to believe other people are agreeing with your deranged obsession.
I don't believe dinosaurs never existed. And if you're asking for proof that this view is becoming common, that's your funeral, not mine. Personally I don't give a frick what people believe. I'm going to keep doing the work. But YOUR side is all about presentation, show and politics so that impacts you devastatingly.
So you don’t have any evidence that your unhinged nonsense is catching on. Got it.
I don't care about you.
Care enough to respond and you care enough to lose an argument to me every time I engage you in another thread you’ve ruined. Deranged freak.
Where's YOUR evidence?
"Experts agree" is a declaration, not evidence. It's the bluehaired equivalent of saying "Bible says so".
Take your meds.
Most people don't need meds to get through their daily life without killing themselves. You being a low-info low-empathy low-imagination flesh golem you might not be aware of that, I can assure you projecting your own wretched habits on others at best results in bafflement.
...you know, you Weimarians know where this is going to end up. So why are you repeating history? Why beat regular people into a shape that will break out the long knives?
>Weimarians
what does this word mean? i don't speak incelese
It’s you silly haha 🙂
Cool NPC dialogue.
Your precious nuPaleo in ten/twenty years:
>It's the bluehaired equivalent of saying "Bible says so".
nah, sorry you're a smoothbrained NPC who rages at headlines designed to make you rage and never actually reads the studies
You're the one claiming feathered dinosaurs as a chinese conspiracy to turn white boys trans is catching on. Do you have any evidence that this view is catching on?
You said right here
That feather homosexualry is dying out because it was a lie created by chink peasants. Do you have ny evidence that "featherhomosexualry" is dying out due to people waking up?
Have you learned nothing from liopleurodon?
Either way t-rex was at the absolute limit of size for a biped, there's a reason why when you actually look into it all the mega theropods that you were taught had greatly varying size ranges were in reality all around the same size
moron midwit. These animals grew throughout their lifetime. That’s like saying alligators are hard capped at 7 feet long because men in the future found three or four 7-foot long gator skeletons in the future
>Comparing a gator to a biped being fricked over by square cube law so hard people can't even agree if it was capable of full on running
This, Chinese feather troony shills are trying to hide the existence of the 400ft long t.rex as part of their propaganda
