The thing I dislike about this is that Schmetterling actually sounds the most sweet out of the languages used (from the video probably being referenced), if you say it normally.

Funny thing is that the "Schmetter" is a product when making butter. So the butterfly and Schmetterling share the same naming origin

Random thought prompted by this thread...

So birds are basically just tiny descendants of dinosaurs, right? Parrots, corvids, and a few others are capable of mimicry.... were there any dinos that shared that trait?

Raptor: "CLEVER GIRL! raptor bark sound thing CLEVER GIRL!" eats his face

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 year ago

bear in mind that birds are a specific branch of dinosaurs, closest related to stuff like velociraptor.

so it's a pretty good bet that raptors would make bird-like noises (though probably less complex and lower pitched), but doubtful that a stegosaurus would sound anything like a bird.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago

If only! Imagine a gigantic stegosaurus or triceratops tweeting away sweetly like a song bird.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Idk man there are some birds that don't even sound like birds.

Imagine a dinosaur sized shoebill snapping it's beak.

Pterodactyls aren’t dinosaurs?

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 58 points 1 year ago

They are basically the sistergroup. When the term dinosaur was coined, the most distantly related dinosaurs were taken as reference and everything and everything "between" them was defined as a dinosaur. Pterodactyls weren't known back than, that's basically the reason they are excluded

[-] tjebutski@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, they are Ptserosaurs

The Terrible Lizards podcast got a interesting episode about it https://terriblelizards.libsyn.com/s03e02-ptserosaurs

[-] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

Please do not listen to this Podcast!!! You will loose all your friends and family by dumping a metric fuckton of completely out-of-context dino-facts all over your social life.

Trust me, its not gonna be pretty. I listened to a few episodes and little plastic dinosaurs started appearing in our living room. Also my three-year-old started speaking in tongues (says my granny because apparently she doesn't now what a Micropachycephalosaurus is)

BE CAREFUL!

[-] tjebutski@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That might be a bit too late for me, I'm about to start on series 5

There are many decades between use of this font and the Bundesrepublik Deutschland. This post is a typographical disaster.

Bad German! You can't lebensraum here. Back to Bonn.

Stupid German Dinosaurs

I thought it was made quite clear neither were dinosaurs.

[-] YaksDC@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe the people speaking in the post are daft, elderly people from the rhineland.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 8 points 1 year ago

Rhinos are not dinosaurs either.

[-] Grabthar@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd "facts" that sticks with you, though.

[-] 100@fedia.io 16 points 1 year ago

Thats funny because an article about a discovered dino voice box fossil was published just last year

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9932143/

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

VERY disappointed this article didn't include an audio file

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

https://youtu.be/Dgl2ihKg09Y

That's bird sounds slowed down, so might be a good approximation. The article does mentions bird-like vocalization. And it sounds terrifying.

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Not to mention that they wouldn't have addressed them by the names we gave them after they went extinct.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

Back then they pronounced the P

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

It still is in German! But we use K instead of C in this case, so true, if they spoke German it would be a Pterodaktylus

For all I know, that's just two metal bands saying hi.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

If you want to know what dinosaurs sound like, listen to a nearest bird. Birds are dinosaurs

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I will always know pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs. Not because i know the difference, but because i have a lil nephew.

I have this song memorized. Not by choice mind you. Watch at your own risk

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This is besides the fact that we kinda do. There’s a lot of caveats there, though, They’ve been scanning what they think is their vocal organs, generating 3d meshes and printing them out.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Scientists were able to make one sound. Ahh!

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I mean... I 3d printed the model in TPU... it kinda sounded like a squeaky fart.

Granted, I'm not a scientist, and I'm pretty sure the sound is going to be affected by material and stuff. but it sounded like a squeaky fart.

I've always imagined that they sound like angry chickens or geese.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

All geese are angry geese.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, technically angry chickens (and non-angry ones) and geese are dinosaurs. More than the ones mentioned in the post.

[-] CookieMonsterDebate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, we have chickens running around where I live, and those mfers can really sound creepy as fuck. That sort of muted muffled gutteral shriek thing they do? That's never mentioned in children's farm animals books...

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

We actually do have some educated guesses based on muscle reconstruction

Apparently T-Rexes sounded like Freddy Fazbear
