Hate to be that guy and ruin everyone's fun but this is science memes, dinosaurs like that would not have there head up like that. They rarely raised there head above there shoulders.

According to Kent Stevens, computer-modeled reconstructions of the skeletons made from the vertebrae indicate that sauropod necks were capable of sweeping out large feeding areas without needing to move their bodies, but were unable to be retracted to a position much above the shoulders for exploring the area or reaching higher.

Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.

I'm impressed that you managed to misspell "their" every time there. The only correct spelling was in the quoted text.

So I went and stalked them. They largely ignore that ‘their’ exists, which is amazing, since their texts are otherwise near-perfect English.

A few examples of their using ‘their’: 1

[F]or the police to chase their had to be a reasonable suspicion […]

2

Their approval among there base of shias has only gone up since the conflict started

3

[…] let people know about their bias […]
