ah yes, the openarse

ironically i fear the SHIT out of right wingers, because they seem to actively want me to suffer before i die, for the crime of not being able to have a job

i’m just autistic and have re-watched all of Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong like 5 times

the new one lol, people were really excited about it so it’s weird that you missed it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking_with_Dinosaurs_(2025_TV_series)

From what i’ve seen it’s basically 50/50 if any one species had a significant amount of feathers, but feathers do seem to have existed in the earliest dinosaur ancestor so it could maybe potentially show up in any species.

Then you can get more detailed and memorize which kinds of dinosaur had what kind of feather covering, like sauropods seem to at most have some quills and similar decorations, while dromaeosaurs (dakotaraptor, velociraptor, etc) were basically big murder birds with full on wings.

But of course even within clades there could be significant difference: T.rex seems to have been, uh, covered in straight up skin like a giant plucked chicken… but at least some of its relatives were mostly covered in feathers.

yeah, we have some absolutely amazing art these days. i particularly love this type of depiction of dromaeosaurs: Just MASSIVE birds with teeth instead of beaks and huge claws, they feel very… cromulent…

i have to wonder if americans uh, get them confused with geese… Because geese can absolutely have a tendency to actively harass you, while swans don’t get close enough to interact with us in the first place.

Unless american swans are just suffering from lead poisoning like the general population?

it’s not like documentaries aren’t plenty popular, that recent series on dinosaurs (walking with dinosaurs, i think?) with our homeboy David Attenborough was hyped as fuck, no cap, on god, etc

oh yeah that makes sense

what

well yeah, obviously! You have to dilute it 1000 times for it to have any effect.

i saw a video of a system like that in action, guy left it running for a good long while and then dumped out a PILE of dead mosquitoes (and only mosquitoes)

what i’ve done is simply lower the power of my 2.4GHz network so i have reliable coverage in my apartment, but by the time i’ve walked 2 floors down my phone is utterly unable to even see the network.

super simple way to avoid polluting the local airwaves, though i presume it’s not really something you can do on most standard router interfaces…

well maybe that’s why they didn’t come to Hawking’s party, they’d have to strip him and it’s not like he has use for a motorcycle.

ah, the democrats

it would frankly be dumb not to throw the party, because at worst you just have a bit of a weird boring party, and at best you meet some fucking time travellers

in the words of a great sage: “the only difference between science and messing about, is writing it down”

guy who’s really into greasing his hair and listening to elvis, discovers elvis impersonators and “suddenly” starts wanting to impersonate elvis.

we really have to put a stop to this rampant presleyism, it’s harming our children

which cultures are we talking about here? i kinda don’t feel like going through every single set of native american constellations looking for ones that are bears…

if you dig deep enough that’s what almost all place names are, and as stupid as it feels it’s a great way to make fantasy place names feel not stupid.

There are a series of cities on the northeastern coast of sweden that all lie near the mouth of a long river, and those cities are quite literally named [Name of the river valley]-stream, while the rivers themselves are named [Name of the river valley]-river. It’s so profoundly stupid and yet no one ever thinks about it at all.
Luleå, on Lule älv. Piteå, on Pite älv. Umeå, on Ume älv. Etc etc…
