    Crocodiles are literally not dinosaurs.

        Not just closer, they ARE dinosaurs. The entire class of Aves (Birds) is part of the clade Dinosauria.

          Didn’t they reverse the genes on one, and it grew a tail and teeth and stuff?

            I’ve never heard of that.

            If beaks evolved from teethed ancestors, that might be plausible. Beaks are quite old though. You can find them on Parasaurolophus or Psittacosaurus.

            Pretty sure birds already have tails :P

    Ever seen a wild turkey? They’re basically velociraptors. The toms have big sharp spurs on their legs and they will attack you if they even think you’re looking at a hen funny.

        I’m not disputing that. But if you want to kill them, do it from a distance.

        For all I know, bear is delicious too, but I wouldn’t want to face one off up close.

          Shit, I know that Deer and Antelope are delicious. I still wouldn’t want to attack either one with anything less than a modern compound bow and arrow.

        Who’s to say all raptors for all time have not been similarly delicious? Based on how every bird I’ve eaten so far has been yummy, I’m guessing a breaded, bacon-wrapped V. osmolskae would be tits.

      Huh… You made me look up birds sense of taste and it varies from dozens to hundreds of taste buds. Humans have thousands and catfish have over 100,000. Neat!

        As a hot pepper fanatic, I love this trivia:

        Birds don’t have receptors for capsaicin, the chemical that makes peppers hot. They could chow a bag of Moruga Scorpions with zero effect.

        Evolution’s idea being, birds will swallow the seeds whole, poop them all around. Mammals will chew them up and destroy the seeds, so they evolved a defense specifically against us.

            I mean, if it propagates its offspring in a way that allows seeds to spread, it’s doing very well

              Turns out that the best way to propagate is for humans to like eating you so they’ll build entire farms to harvest you.

            As a species, we actively search for food items that are borderline toxic, for the fun of it and because it flavours our food.

      I commend your commitment to not only not tracing the original capture. But posting a heavily compressed bad quality screenshot, that was badly cropped anyways.

      And some people say shitposting isn’t art.
