I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn’t such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.

Well that’s true if you have a live animal producing your meat. Not sure that applies if the meat is lab grown though?
At the point where we’re making lab-grown dinosaur meat, I suspect the cool factor is way more important than silly things like efficiency. T-Rex meat all the way babyyy
Ps, pls put a NSFW on it haha. I don’t mind but others will.

Good call - not sure you can tag images in comments as NSFW (to get the auto-blur), but I’ve hidden it in spoiler tags.

When did and why did dinosaurs go from giant fangs to beaks? Or are reptiles more direct descendants of those dinosaurs

Birds are the only direct descendents of dinosaurs. Reptiles were around at the same time as dinosaurs and evolved independently. There are huge differences, scales instead of skin and feathers, cold blooded instead of warm, etc.
The whole “dinosaurs having feathers makes them less scary” line of thought is kinda silly.
If you stick a pink bow and glitter on a knife, it doesn’t become any leas deadly, plus good luck getting that glitter out of your wounds if you do make it to the “I need to get that glitter out of my wounds” stage.

Anyone else ever wonder whether the dinosaurs were delicious?
100% they absolutely were.
Give geneticists 20 years, we’ll have lab grown T-Rex in the grocery store

Can’t wait for brontoburgers.

Great, can’t wait to hear beards gatekeep ancient flavor.
“T-Rex is soooo gamey. I prefer Diplodocus veal” “Have you tried pteranodon wings? Like buffalo wings from real buffalo”
“tastes just like chicken”
Many of them probably would
i’d imagine they’d largely taste like wild turkey/alligator, since that’s basically what they were and how they lived.
I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.
Forget the turducken. This year we’re having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.
Would they taste like chicken, or like lizard?
Most birds don’t taste like chicken though
Not even all parts of a chicken taste the same.
My favorite dinosaur is the Ayam Cemani AKA the big black cock

So your favorite bird genre is birds as a whole? Nice, me too!
How do you call this species?

Are you groove-billed, Ani?
I had to try this out loud, those are too many letters for so little syllables. But it does work.

Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off.
Well who on earth would be foolish enough to piss them off?

pretty sure velociraptors were actually smaller lmao, more along the size of turkeys
cassowaries are significantly scarier than velociraptors would have been.
Make that an Utahraptor and we can reconsider
You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

Why Do Birds No Longer Have Teeth?
TL;DR: Beaks are a lot lighter and more easily adapted than teeth.
fwiw there were plenty of non-avian dinosaurs with beaks, ceratopsids for one.
Fangs are still pretty rare in reptiles. Most lizards have basically some form of serrated beak.
Bird genre?

…it’s a cartoon…
Birds don’t just look like dinosaurs they are dinosaurs, scientifically speaking.
Though by that logic, we’re all amphibians or something.
