Cue the downright vicious paleontology blood-feud between the two camps of thought on whether they were tenors or sopranos

I was always told manufacturing and construction breed the meanest coworkers.

Then I learned about decades of journalistic wars between paleontologist that boil down to "I'm right, they're wrong, therefore I present we name this species after my opponent. The 'Doodoostupidheadasaurus'. It has a never-before-seen giant penis bone, which I shall call the "Rightusbiggusdickusflagellum'."

All because someone didn't properly attribute two words back in grad school.

They're also the only discipline I'm aware of that frequently sabotaged each other's research using TNT like Looney Tunes characters

You’re in for a treat if you haven’t heard about the Bone Wars until now!

[-] ThrowawaySobriquet@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

I played up the dynamite aspect a bit there, but The Bone Wars were very real, very not a porn, and reads more like a Cohen Brothers spec script than anything that, you know, actually happened

well, they're porn now. but they were a real non porn thing for a while first.

Quite a lot of modern dinosaurs sing so why not

Sadly, they only knew only one song. After singing "7 AM, waking up in the morning, Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs, Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal, …" every day over and over again, they eventually collectively committed suicide.

Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up, I noticed I was late...

They probably sounded like geese, but on a lower octave.

Can I just be honest and say Steggos are my favorite?

They probably sing better than I do, too

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

Don't you know that horses love stegosauruses?

If it was spinosaurus we would have lost half of our world's paleontologists.

My headcanon is that they sounded like this: https://youtu.be/sEymyO5Abp4?si=u_ELKirykw60E6lF
