itt: pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving meteor

This recent (great) New Yorker piece made me think of this thread:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/04/08/the-day-the-dinosaurs-died

Those opening paragraphs are a real eye-opener.

this thread is better and jake vig can bug-off

It's morning in dino-America.

Those opening paragraphs are a real eye-opener.

one in the face for the "meh, it was the Deccan mega-eruptions that took out the dinosaurs" crew. Even though that fucker there was obv much bigger than the chicxulub impact.

rip big man, heaven needed the planet that invented churros

if you really want to experience it like the dinosaurs did, you need the simulated audio track. nice work discovery:

apparently if you want to have a better understanding of all the recent scientific advances in palaeontology then Micheal J. Benton's The Dinosaurs Rediscovered is your book.

That's ridiculous, how would a t-rex even use toilet paper

the tail wasn't used for the purpose of balancing, some researchers are saying

well obviously they just had to click their talons and a stressed looking edmontosaurus or some other from the precariat/lunch class of dinos would dutifully scamper to the local shitpit to wipe their arse for them with some 2 ply leaves!

Another one.
