Heeey, now I don’t feel so bad about my University days, thanks!

“Puke crater” alone describes the magnitude.

stom@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 07 Dec 20:53 next collapse

Why wouldn’t they lower their head to vomit? Everything does…

credo@lemmy.world on 07 Dec 21:16 next collapse

Sometimes you just don’t have time man.

halykthered@lemmy.ml on 07 Dec 21:26 next collapse

Perhaps through the evidence of a crater, and it’s depth in the type of ground in which it was found, is enough for scientists to determine these creatures actually threw up fully erect, not unlike the night I lost my virginity.

corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca on 08 Dec 00:13 next collapse

It is.

Focusing on the important parts in the sentence, like a common autocorrect-forced error.

threw up fully erect

It’s called an orgasm

I’ve had my orgasm all over the kitchen floor after downing a litre of mead.

Or it threw up over the ledge; a lot of animals puke over the edge of something

I elongate my neck when I puke, like a turtle. Not sure about you. I do however bend over by the waist/hips.

UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca on 07 Dec 21:02 next collapse

Try explaining that one after death.

“How’d you die? I got eaten by a T-Rex!”

“I, um well, I…I was going for a walk to find food and I know following this big guy who never eats the lower stuff is great, he cant reach it and the bugs that fall off the trees hes eating are great! As I was munching on a fleeing bug, the big guy burps and I looked up to see him puke. No matter how fast I tried to scurry away the goo was too much and it squished me flat”

“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully you have better luck on this side”

TachyonTele@lemm.ee on 07 Dec 21:17 next collapse

Ok sure. But how many keg stands would they do before vomiting?

ComradeMiao@lemmy.world on 07 Dec 21:26 collapse

Contemporary kegs or dinosaur kegs?

subignition@fedia.io on 07 Dec 21:27 next collapse

"Brachiosaurus puke crater" is an excellent band name

Not_mikey@slrpnk.net on 08 Dec 00:49 next collapse

Hate to be that guy and ruin everyone’s fun but this is science memes, dinosaurs like that would not have there head up like that. They rarely raised there head above there shoulders.

According to Kent Stevens, computer-modeled reconstructions of the skeletons made from the vertebrae indicate that sauropod necks were capable of sweeping out large feeding areas without needing to move their bodies, but were unable to be retracted to a position much above the shoulders for exploring the area or reaching higher.

Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.

ikidd@lemmy.world on 08 Dec 03:17 next collapse

I’m impressed that you managed to misspell “their” every time there. The only correct spelling was in the quoted text.

kamenlady@lemmy.world on 08 Dec 05:54 next collapse

This and are we all ok with the vomit containing Dino Bones?

Edit: or this the bones of dinos killed by the puke force?

Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works on 08 Dec 05:56 next collapse

+1 for consistency.

victorz@lemmy.world on 08 Dec 17:09 next collapse

Like, I want to up vote the fact checking, but I want to down vote the careless grammar. I’m so torn.

Make a second account and do both.

victorz@lemmy.world on 09 Dec 19:12 collapse

Make a new account and do two (three) pieces of work instead of no work for the same net result. 🤔🎱🙂‍↔️

SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world on 09 Dec 20:06 collapse

Exactly! Maximum effort for no result.

It’s like a management position

victorz@lemmy.world on 10 Dec 00:47 collapse

Well you got me there. And I bet it pays considerably more too.

bleistift2@sopuli.xyz on 09 Dec 20:24 collapse

So I went and stalked them. They largely ignore that ‘their’ exists, which is amazing, since their texts are otherwise near-perfect English.

A few examples of their using ‘their’: 1

[F]or the police to chase their had to be a reasonable suspicion […]

2

Their approval among there base of shias has only gone up since the conflict started

3

[…] let people know about their bias […]

Meron35@lemmy.world on 08 Dec 06:32 next collapse

Actually, the science does not seem to be settled, with there being controversy about the specific neck posture.

Sauropod neck posture - Wikipedia - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropod_neck_posture

Same thing with giraffes.

It’s a huge misconception of unrealistic biomechanics.

flames5123@lemmy.world on 08 Dec 13:12 next collapse

Are you talking about puking or just how they hold themselves? Because if it’s the later, have you ever been to a zoo? They clearly walk around with their necks held at like a 60-45 degree angle up from their spine. We can look up pictures of this in modern day too.

lengau@midwest.social on 08 Dec 14:15 next collapse

That giraffe is drinking.

When they’re not intentionally bending down to reach something low down like a water hole, they look like this:

Giraffes literally have a rubber-like band tht keeps their head vertical at rest.

So yes, they do.

Let me guess, next you’re gonna claim the Egyptians already invented rubber bands to keep their brachiosaurs upright? Not falling for it.

Neon@lemmy.world on 08 Dec 22:40 collapse

Almost. They actually stole it from the Aliens that they enslaved to build the pyramids.

spicehoarder@lemm.ee on 08 Dec 13:56 collapse

Do we even know if they were capable of vomiting?

Cethin@lemmy.zip on 09 Dec 04:49 collapse

Seeing how both us and birds can vomit, probably. I imagine that developed very early. If you eat something harmful, you’re dead if you can’t vomit. If you don’t have the brainpower to identify safe and harmful things, you’re pretty screwed.

gens@programming.dev on 09 Dec 14:23 collapse

Didn’ know birds can vomit. Horses can’t.

Cethin@lemmy.zip on 09 Dec 18:21 next collapse

Huh. I might be totally wrong. I thought they could but I’m not really that knowledgeable on that.

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works on 09 Dec 20:37 collapse

Horses are probably the single most fucked up animal on the planet, with maybe the sole exception of Przewaski’s horse. Seriously we fucked them up so badly, like im pretty sure if every dog was a badly fucked up as horses they would be a hybrid of American bulldogs, Bull terriers, and chihuahuas.

This is to say never use a horse as a barometer for anything when it comes to standard functions.

captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works on 08 Dec 06:08 next collapse

Now I have to know: Do we have fossilized dinosaur puke? I know we have fossilized dung. Or could they not puke like horses.
