itt: pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving meteor

it was wearing a "and all I got was this t-shirt"

just want to check: we covered all 4 of these, right?

In every artist's depiction of a meteor that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, there's always one T-Rex looking up at it like "That can’t be good." pic.twitter.com/AoOZYe0hzc

this thread is one of the leading sources of dinosaur/meteor images

nice -- the very first one in Vig's tweet is the OP of this thread, by Mark S

This thread has barely scratched the surface of all the incredibly lazy single-panel comics out there

God, I am such a billy, even down to being a stegosaurus (always my fave)

I'm confused about the coconuts. Are they coconuts? Is the dinosaur on the left standing on some coconuts? That detail looks as if it's supposed to be part of the joke, but it's not.

Why does the Stegosaurus' head look like a hand holding a bowling ball with spines on it? Is it the mescaline, or something else?

I think the artist can’t draw feet.

t-rex was the accelerationist of the last extinction event (before the current one we're living in)

No, he's not a dinosaur, but you know what? I'm not crazy about his gazing either.

pplains, you knew it wasn't right, but you posted it anyway. and the image link above that, a month ago, is fukken broken. and then i made a threadkilling bad joke, a month before that. what the fuck is happening???

i am going to look for fresh dino metero/extinction content. and the way things are going, i bet it will have been posted sometime before, because you know what? i'm not scrolling through that again, and you know why? because i've done it at least ten times before. ok, be back

We're all dinosaurs, in the end.

if you need to kill a couple hours here's an arguably not-terrible video about why we all think a asteroid dunnit (answers: 1. because it did and 2. carl sagan was scared of getting nuclear bombed and 3. brains love simple story structure [although science, ideally, does not] and and and and)

(also the video creator was forced to visit swindon and he seems to have been scarred by the experience, which has left me perversely intrigued. "swindon." it sounds ominous, like an evil place made up by a children's author)

Weird, I thought of this thread a few hours ago.

borad description :(

how'd it go

It’s kinda nutty to think that if something like that would happen there’d be a short minute window or whatever where people would be able to watch TikTok, instagram live feeds, etc. of idiot’s live posting moments before they’re vaporized (and soon to be the person viewing the post).
