I am here for this. Make our old memes scientifically accurate.

What’s a Super Pope gotta do to find a good history book name writer?
wow. you really do.
Little known fact: the Philosoraptor was created by a young engineer as a funny tee shirt template to sell at the local Saturday Market. His name is Sam, and he actually finds it hilarious that his design has gone on to become a globally recognized meme. (He’s also created an affordable set of bluetooth headphones specifically for use in “silent disco” parties.) 🤓🤌🏼
I fully support this.
What do you mean, they had feathers??
Wait until you imagine a giant rooster call
Yeah, imagine that giant cock just singing to you.
Chickens are the closest modern ancestor of the Tyranasaurus Rex. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Is it really chickens specifically that are the closest relative, not any other bird?
Nope. That’s just a shitty article. Here you can read that 1) what they compared was not T-rex’s DNA, it was collagen and 2) the results confirmed the closest relatives to dinosaurs were birds in general, not chicken. By the way, dinosaur DNA might indeed have already been found (in a hadrosaurid called Hypacrosaurus), but it’s not entirely sure yet.
So it’s inclusive of ostriches and not exclusive of chickens, so what I said was entirely correct just incomplete.

Technically yes. You forgot to include all other birds. Chicken and ostriches are mentioned at the beginning of the article as examples of birds.
I hope you are not being sarcastic. It is exciting to find people that don’t know about this. And I am totally serious because this is such a cool discovery. While we knew for long time that birds are dinosaurs, seeing the latter with feathers makes today’s chicken looking even more majestic.
The first xkcd I ever did see was this one, fitting that its also the first xkcd I’ve witnessed referenced on Lemmy
The theropodes (raptors of all sizes) all had. Some even had some huge feathers on their heads, maybe with vibrant colors.
I’m not sure what is currently known about the others. I know some definitively didn’t have feathers, and it was not only the theropodes that had them. The feathers had move diverse shapes than on the birds too.
Just wanted to comment to appreciate the effort and the quality content that Lemmy now provides. Thank you for your work, sir.

The unexpected inclusion of the adorable cat makes this comment the best thing I’ve seen today
That picture of the cat feels like the text people on forums have and I love it
tbh, I kinda like it. Feathery dinosaurs are a look I can get used to
I want a Jurassic Park re-re-boot with big bird boys just chomping on everything. Bird dinosaurs are so much scarier and cooler than lizard dinosaurs and you cannot change my mind.
Cooler, yes. Scarier? I kinda wanna touch the soft feathers ngl. Where does PETA stand on keeping a raptor as a pet?

Yeah nvm I’m not touching that thing 😳
I dont know, the claws on therizinosaurus are pretty scary. I wouldn’t want to walk up to that and pet it. Hell, I keep my distance from wild turkeys even daily, those barbs are no joke.
On second thought, I once feared for my life while being charged by a rooster. Perhaps it’s not such a good idea
That pet ownership is basically slavery
Big berds. Big berds with big teeth.
But these aren’t the ones I know and love from Jurassic Park.
(Also, that twist about 5 minutes in. Holy shit, LOL.)

Omg
But the claw to the raptors face is from his hind leg
Yes
It’s innacurate. That was its foot.
Their foot
And our talon

Wait…it’s behind me right now, isn’t it

Memes, uh, find a way.
Indeed, Raptor looks even more thoughtful now.
