Same for cleopatra and the pyramids

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 53 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Wait, why would a T-rex fight Cleopatra and the pyramids?

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 13 points 9 months ago

For the implication.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I think they meant if the T-Rex fought Cleopatra for the pyramids.

Does it really need a reason?

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They just have a born hatred of regular shaped objects. They don't like order and seek to destroy it.

For dominance or feeding rights over a fresh kill.

They were ancient when she was ruling Egypt

[–] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Exactly, she would be better represented riding a monocycle than having anything to do with the pyramids.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why? She would have clearly known about them.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (5 children)

I was thinking the same. People are probably mixing up the being alive during the construction of the pyramids with coexisting with them. Even us today coexist with the pyramids and could be accurately pictured around them.

The pyramids riding a unicycle is a new one

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 37 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I don't know that most people can tell the difference between an Allosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Haha yeah dinosaur go rawr

never did, they just didnt have the organ that most panthers use to roar, or even anything similar.

most non-avian dinosaurs could only do deep and hissing sounds, similar to today's crocodiles. the exceptions to that being parasaurolophus and that one ankylosaurid that might have an organ similar to the one birds use to make sounds (though still not roaring)

Don't get me started on the general public's recognition of the Somosaurus.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's one which looks like the sugmasaurus?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

It's often confused with the mighty ligmasaurus.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I apologize, but is that spelled correctly? I am finding several variations of the spelling with wildly different creatures.

Simosaurus versus Siamosaurus versus Sonorasaurus

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It is not real. I was riffing on allosaurus.

whos somosaurus

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 29 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Now I just wanna see the T-Rex fighting a stegosaurus while both are riding unicycles.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 54 points 9 months ago (6 children)
[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 34 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Clearly this is not a fight but a family picture. You can see their hybrid kids in the background.

The kids in back just want mom and dad to stop fighting.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 4 points 9 months ago

Oh hey, it's me, one of the kids.

And yet I can't get the damn AI to get anything close to the scene in trying to get it to draw for me for my D&D campaign, being one that could conceivably exist in the real world.

Google's is especially hilarious. Even just the word "waterfall" and it complains that it would be against the terms of service.

I guess there were no pedals in the training data 😆.

TIL that electric unicycles exist...

[–] zarquon@lemm.ee 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They are so much fun. On a related note I've broken my wrist twice since discovering that.

[–] ComplacentGoat@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

Over 10k miles here, not a scratch. My brother though, he's biffed it at 45mph. Got back up and kept riding. These things are awesome

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Is the one on the photo missing some tooth?

[–] Sigh_Bafanada@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

It took him a few tries to get confident on the electric unicycle.

And his arms didn't protect him when he fell.

[–] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

He’s from the south, his name is Cletus.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean technically a thesaurus could've fought both

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 27 points 9 months ago

That’s just ridiculous, goofy, supercilious, absurd, laughable, comical, ludicrous, chucklesome, and risible.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

if you made a movie where George Washington defeated the British with tactical nukes while wearing a cowboy out it would still be more accurate than Braveheart

Same for cavemen fighting dinosaurs, since humans came along long after dinosaurs went extinct. Not that I don't love Ray Harryhausen's work.

[–] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So what's the verdict, are the electric unicycles cool? Have they broken the curse? They do look cool, and you better be wearing the full motorcycle getup if you know what's good for you, because they're fast as f too.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The cycles themselves look cool, but I have seen enough people riding them to say with confidence you still don't look cool on them.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 4 points 9 months ago

It's always middle aged white dudes.

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

My microsoft dinosaur CD said otherwise!

But they broke my microsoft dinosaur CD and they bonked me on the head and broke all my pencils! I'm very hurt about this.
