You got it all wrong, it wasn't "rule" as in "management" it was "rule" as in "radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*".

Just seeing that made the theme song pop into me head full force. Crazy how things can stick with you.

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 8 points 10 months ago

If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

It's too bad the Stenograsaurus never reached it's evolutionary peak, just think of the records we could have had from that time!

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Well they dropped the 'a' from the Apt-erodactyl because their daily performance felt phoned in.

[-] Grassgrowz@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

should i put eating and pooping on my CV??

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

You mean: ruling your house.

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

He is on his throne

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You don't already?

Do you even want that IT job?

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

I didn't know they had a ruler. I thought they were an autonomous collective.

[-] Uruanna@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

They probably didn't have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn't invented yet.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You're fooling yourself. They were living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class dinosaurs...

[-] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Are we ruling the Earth or making the biggest mess ever in history? Who's to say who has the better admin skills?

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Dinosaurs had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Ruling the Earth and making the biggest mess ever in history are not mutually exclusive.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 10 months ago

They did a better job than we are.

[-] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 19 points 10 months ago

we barely know a thing about them. maybe they were burning trash on the sidewalk

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

If they had elevators that could handle Brachiosaurus then let the trash burn and pee flow in the streets.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren't ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I'm not an expert but I know enough to know there's a lot more out there.

[-] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I think the word you're looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

My bad, thank you

[-] amon@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's interesting how dinosaurs went from largest animals on land to small creatures we factory farm

[-] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

It's is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

We need an imminent giant meteor impact to know for sure

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 10 months ago

Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide

[-] Foxfire@pawb.social 14 points 10 months ago

Almost certainly

So you're saying there's a chance!

[-] Kompressor@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Washing away the brutal bureaucracy of the Devonian period as well smh.

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 10 points 10 months ago

Not what Dinosaur Train told me

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago

Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.

[-] Boozilla@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago
[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Just because T-Rex has those little arms didn't mean it wasn't good at typing!

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

They made Anarchy work

[-] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months ago

Well if you were alive back then dinosaurs would be the ones to be the ones to decide if you lived or died
