Captain Monkey posted:So you didn’t choke on two hot dogs? Nope, could breathe just fine (the area of my disease is, as with most people, centered midway down the chest), it was just a case of my body reacting... badly to a pea sized chunk of chewed up meat. It's a relatively rare(ish) comorbidity with asthma, which I've got in spades.

Were they pterodactyls, or pteranodons? Dinosar and dinosaur-adjacent animals have a HUGE taxonomy problem, at least when it comes to lay-person terminology. Don't get me started on the whole Brontosaurus thing. But also, when looking at a wiki article on Pterosaurs, it seems that some 19th century paleontologist thought they might have been some sort of flying marsupial:  quote:In 1843, Edward Newman thought pterosaurs were flying marsupials.[91] As the bat model correctly depicted pterosaurs as furred and warm-blooded, it better approached the true physiology of pterosaurs than Cuvier's "reptile model".

It's really weird to consider the animals that existed as mid-points between reptiles and mammals. Just millions of years of organisms living and dying as hosed up alligator dogs

Phy posted:I've been telling people that a recent study concluded that Brontosaurus was different enough from Apatosaurus to constitute its own genus after all, making Brontosaurus a thing again. No, that's the gist of it. Some guy way back in the 1800's found an Apatosaurus, another guy found a Brontosaurus. Then a short time after, other people just said, "Oh, Bronto is just a slightly different species in the same genus as Apatosaurus, so we should stop using that name." But it was already out in the wild, and somehow got to be the preferred nomenclature over the firstly discovered/published Apatosaurus. I read about that as a teenager so I was a smug jerk for a long while correcting people needlessly that there really wasn't such a thing as Brontosaurus...but yes, there is, other studies confirmed they are almost certainly two different dinosaurs. But that was pretty recent (2015) so I wasn't technically WRONG all those other years, but I was a jack-rear end about it. Though it still might not be 100% cut and dry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brontosaurus quote:Almost all 20th-century paleontologists agreed with Riggs that all Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus species should be classified together in a single genus. According to the rules of the ICZN (which governs the scientific names of animals), the name Apatosaurus, having been published first, had priority as the official name; Brontosaurus was considered a junior synonym and was therefore discarded from formal use.[23][24][25][26] Despite this, at least one paleontologist—Robert T. Bakker—argued in the 1990s that A. ajax and A. excelsus are in fact sufficiently distinct that the latter continues to merit a separate genus.[27] In 2015, an extensive study of diplodocid relationships by Emanuel Tschopp, Octavio Mateus, and Roger Benson concluded that Brontosaurus was indeed a valid genus of sauropod distinct from Apatosaurus. The scientists developed a statistical method to more objectively assess differences between fossil genera and species, and concluded that Brontosaurus could be "resurrected" as a valid name. They assigned two former Apatosaurus species, A. parvus and A. yahnahpin, to Brontosaurus, as well as the type species B. excelsus.[4] Paleontologist Michael D'Emic made a critique.[28] Palaeontologist Donald Prothero criticized the mass media reaction to this study as superficial and premature, concluding: So might not still be settled, though I think Dr.Prothero is just being a crotchety old jerk who doesn't like change in his field of expertise.

I've met Dr. Prothero, back in the days when there were geoscience conventions, he's actually really chill. Unless you get him started on pseudoscience, he lets rip on those idiots.

MisterBibs posted:Even more famously, whenever that is erroneously brought up, I've had to bring up the fact that I've got a chronic immune disorder (eosinophilic esophagiti) usually discovered when food gets impacted halfway down my food pipe. I suppose it counts for the thread, since most folks can't believe there's a "yeah, your food pipe doesn't expand like it should" disease. We just don't believe that you really have it, since larger, more common diseases are objectively better. You're just pretending to have a rare disease because you're a hipster.
