He looks like a Compsognathus kinda guy.

(For the non-dino nerds Compsognathus means “pretty jaw”.)

I’m a pachycephalosaurus guy myself.

Oh my favourite has always been Plesiosaur’s, also did you know the tuatara is the last living dinasaur.

Would have been slightly funnier and nerdier with the Dimetrodon IMHO.

Contramuffin@lemmy.world on 24 Jan 10:55 next collapse

My favorite is spinosaurus! The fact that it is fully aquatic is so interesting!

I am also an enthusiast of the… dinosaur of similar words

I kinda got into dinosaurs as a kid. Today, there are so many different collections of dinosaurs in various encyclopedias. My favorite from the new books is Micropachycephalosauarus. Just the idea that a little dino, like tini little guy, was running around headbutting things cracks me up.

I hope it brings you joy to know that “dinosaur” kids are still memorizing these ever-growing lists. I work with kids, and the big dinosaur fan is still teaching me new dino things almost every day. We recently learned of a dinosaur that is basically another student’s name +saurus. That was a cute discovery.

My favorite is the Gallus gallus domesticus.

But which came first, the gallus gallus domesticus or the ovum?

Do you think Jeff Bezos will push his Prime studio to make Homelander a hero now that he’s an ultra right wing supporter?

Randelung@lemmy.world on 24 Jan 14:16 collapse

He’s already the hero for the idiots. No need to change anything, it’s already the perfect allegory - just that they’re rooting for the villain.

Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com on 24 Jan 14:02 next collapse

Is there a good reason why dinosaur is only terrestrial extinct reptiles (and a subset at that)?

Do we have a handy term that includes plesiasaur, pteradons and dactyls, as well as dinosaurs?

Disregarding fictionality, it also includes moths, at least one plant, and maybe arachnids (and controversially perhaps, an ape).

LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org on 25 Jan 13:39 collapse

And robots. Don’t forget the robots.
