This is from the artist who did illustrations for the October 2020 Nat Geo magazine dinosaur article. All the dinos shown are from the raptor family, with the two biggest being Utahraptor and Dakotaraptor.

Given that dinosaurs are basically giant chickens I can only imagine that they also taste like chickens. Giant delicious buffalo wings.

This probably checks out, since alligator tastes more or less like chicken with a slightly chewier texture.

I'm curious what assets Quibi have that are worth buying. There's no good will associated with the name, I've never heard anything positive about their content, they don't seem to have a distinctive technology, and I'd be surprised if their app installs hit a market that's otherwise hard to reach.

Like, Pets.com at least got some money out of owning a notable URL.

They really really think they have something special with their "video stream switching on phone rotation" tech. Doubt anyone else does tho.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I just saw that trailer and had not seen the original. When I saw the trailer I didn't think anything off or bad about it, but seeing it compared it to the original it looks terrible.

Yes, it, and many other fine movies, are in its Turner Classic Movies section, which anyone who has access to the service should check out.

I guess we'll see if the rumors that they always planned to just stitch all the mini-episodes together into normal episodes and movies were true. Did the Reno 911 stuff at least end up decent?

Those pictures aren't ancestors, it was a thought experiment on what certain animals would look like if you based them off their skeletal remains. They're basically a criticism of how we came up with these conclusions about how dinosaurs looked.

Basically, a lot of people kinda ignored the possible existence of lips when trying to reconstruct extinct animals, including dinosaurs.
