I don’t actually hate jurassic park, the title is purely facetious.

Also life uhh finding a way
What is up with power-tripping mods.
They should take a page from Ned’s book.
Jurassic Park did popularize the relatively new idea of dinosaurs being related to birds with the public, which is pretty awesome. They also made us finally forget the image of tails dragging on the ground as the default. It wasn’t as accepted that many dinosaurs had feathers at the time, with it still being likely that the biggest ones had very few in the same way that elephants don’t have furry coats.
They intentionally altered with the dinosaurs’ designs to make them better monsters. They reshaped the t-rex’s skull and teeth in a way that would have made it a less effective hunter, just so it looked scarier. They turned the dilophosaurus into a spitting cobra because it was cool, and made velociraptor way bigger because a human sized intelligent monster is a fantastic movie villain.
I think feathered dinosaurs will become the norm in movies because they are so freaking cool. Jurassic Park made them cooler by being more accurate to what they were actually like, so a new successful blockbuster will eventually update dinosaurs with all the cool shit we’ve learned since then.
My favorite fact about all this is that Spielberg insisted on the giant raptors during production. Around the same time the Utahraptor was first being studied, an actual giant raptor about the same size.
Less fun fact, it was gonna be name Utahraptor Spielbergi but it was changed last minute because Universal was suing museums over the word Jurassic. Trademark trolls ruin everything.
IP is just as disgusting as physical property.
they sued over the word Jurassic? Thats like Google suing over the word Carbon , jfc
Google did not actually do that, did they? 😨
I like both. I got two framed pictures of archaeopteryx.
true dinosaur fan
I like both too, I just don’t get why people hate feathered dinosaurs.
You take that back!
feathered, bipedal \n thats not a man. How do you linebreak…
Use an empty
line where you want a new line
Or just
two spaces at the end of the lineoh
my
god
i
did
not
know
thisYeah, but It’s a pain in the ass if your autocomplete thinks 2 spaces means a new sentence and replaces the first one with a period.
yeah, ive always disabled everything that could change what i wrote. now i just stopped caring and installed a different keyboard from fdroid thats way more useful (it lets me use key combinations like im in a pc
I CAN DO CTRL+C and CTRL+V ON MY PHONE!!!
it is fun)
We can finally greentext properly.
Except for, you know, the green part.
Me, seeing all the inaccuracies in Jurassic Park: “That is one big pile of shit.”
Shut. Yo. Mouth.
