Dinosaurs don’t exist, but we will protect you from the dinosaurs if you hate them!

Why is this edited to look 100 years old?

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago

Color wasn't invented until the late 20th century.

1984 is the late 20th century.

Maybe it's from a newspaper?

Imagine being a young child walking down the street and you look up and you see a flying dinosaur crossing the street ahead of you...

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Imagine being anyone and seeing it

[-] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe but a business man walking a sandwich shop to pick up dinner before taking the train home would not be as excited as 5 year old who was reading books about dinosaurs...

I'm amazed that helicopter had the lift capability for something like this.

That thing is pretty big, so would still have some weight regardless of the material.

It’s probably not a real dinosaur.

There was a Dinosaur documentary, either in the 80s or early 90s with lots of stop motion scenes. One of the clips they used while talking about dinosaurs in pop culture was moving this brontosaurus. They had some really great stop motions scenes of deinonychus, cementing it as my favorite dinosaur.

My mom taped that and I must have watched it 100 times. The image of that deinonychis eating the egg is seared into my memory. I would LOVE to watch that whole thing again.

Edit: found it! https://youtu.be/Kr_335rqvZ0

Yeah, we definitely wore out our tape. I can see that egg scene in my head precisely. Heh. I think somebody had it up on youtube years ago. Not sure if it is there now though.

There are a few copies, but this one appears to have decent quality.

Thanks I'll have to check it out. I miss those guys. 😀

This just proved dinosaurs are FAKE

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Every dinosaur I have ever seen is fake

They are either man-made, or they are made from rock not bone
