That t-rex is awfully shrinkwrapped.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Why does that T-Rex look like it's from the Hellraiser dimension?

Little dude looks like he's about his business

Heh. I was outside this morning, having a little hippie speedball, listening to the birds chirp.

There were a lot out this morning. It was a symphony. Tons of calls.

Then I realized how wild it must’ve sounded here 70 million years ago.

That's the sound of the revival of nature, mate...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Aye. New England in March. Start getting the first hints of spring. Birds. Small mammals start showing up more. Little buds start poking out in the perennial bed. No longer nipple-achingly cold outside. My favorite time of the year, for sure.

That chicken is caked the fuck up

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (7 children)

I raise chickens. I adore the little critters, but if they were 20' high they would gleefully destroy us all. Their personality is like a cat on meth.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Yeah, every time I see this meme, every person who's ever owned chickens immediately chimes in with some version of "Believe me, they know." Because the little buggers really do.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I think their personalities are pretty varied.

The modern breeds like isa brown or i-line are nutters. Like they're not all there. The heritage breeds can be very... companionable.

I mean just look at cassowaries.

Chickens are so insistent and ceaseless.

I just said that last night after watching our pet hen pounce on and demolish a peanut like it was going to murder her in her sleep.

She's brutal lol.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wait until she spots a mouse

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, her and the rooster have wrecked mice. We're on the edge of town, right next to farmland, so we get mice coming through regularly. It's pretty common to find little shreds of fur and bone when they're particularly predatory.

Hell, the cats we had over the years weren't as vicious as these birds.

How many of them have you destroyed?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

You broke Wheaton's law just then.

Don't be that person

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Destroyed? As in slaughtered for no reason, none. If we're talking about how many died to feed my family and neighbors and friends; several hundred. And I continue to do so to this day. If you don't like that, I don't care.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, they haven't forgotten a damn thing. Just watch them when they catch a mouse.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Roosters still are T-Rex. Those buggers are mean.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I've only seen that once and it was brutal

This is the first repost on Lemmy I've seen! :)!

Haha it's just nice I've been here long enough to where I'm recognizing the same memes / images being posted.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Quick, somebody repost!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My takeaway from this is that T-Rex probably tasted delicious when breaded and deep fried.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I can't remember what they are but I'm certain there are reasons we prefer to eat herbivores generally.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

From a farming perspective, herbavores require less input to raise.

Hypothetical example: to raise one herbivore you need an input of 3 grains. If your carnivore requires more than one herbivore's worth of input you're looking at needing more grain, plus having to rear the herbivore(s).

I don't know if there are flavor implications between the two and if those differences would decrease if both were farmed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I think you're right.

I was thinking more like in ocean food chains, where mercury accumulates as you move further up the food chain.

... but in the hunter gatherer sense, of course we eat more ibex or buffalo than we do lion or cougar, because there are quite simply far fewer of the latter wandering around on the plains. Which is pretty much what you said just arranged in a different way.

Their tiny t-rex arms were probably the chicken wings of their time. Forbidden wings..🤤

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

You're telling me ancestor worship is eating...oh nevermind.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Which part(s) of the t-rex do the nuggets come from?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

All of them
