Was the discovery that dinosaurs are gay ass bird things instead of radical giant lizards the reason for the decline of dinosaurs in videogames?

But birds are cool

>gay ass bird things
They were still radical giant lizards. Birds were just a one type of dinosausaur. Raptors are still awesome, it's just that they've also had little tiny feathers in relatively small quantities, too.

birds are cool as fuck what are you talking about

Can't have a decline if there never really were any dinosaur videogames. I'd argue that there are probably more recent ones than old ones, with stuff like Ark, Orion, and Dino D-Day.

...

yes, fuck those gay as fuck birds, dinosaurs will always be giant lizards of massive power for me.

>birds
>gay
nigga u gay

I never understood why it was common that Dinosaurs evolved feathers.

Feathers (in the case of dinosuars and shit) are like modified scales right? The only real purpose to evolve feathers would be to fly.
Flightless birds evolved to be flightless, not the other way around.

Why the fuck do dinosaurs need feathers if most of them were fuckhuge and don't need to fly?

It was a fad that started with barney and Jurassic park and ended with pokemon and digimon

You mean it was discovered that dinosaurs are radical giant lizards covered in feathers.

Having feathers didn't stop T-rex from having a fuck-strong bite or dromeosaurids from having big curved claws to rake you with.

nah it's to absorb water and live in colder climate. Feathers aren't conjoint to flying, it just happened.

To preserve temperature and all that shit? Kinda like fur, except lizards can't grow fur.

Dinosaurs were gods to humans

just look at that gay expression on it's faggot face, what a homosexual animal, all birds are candyasses.

>Barney is the most accurate rendition of real dinosaurs to date

Wasn't most of the earth hot as fuck during that time?

Like that's one of the reasons they were able to get that big, because they were able to keep body temperatures consistent enough with regards to their size.

I guess having feathers would help regulate temp, but wouldn't that be more of a niche thing instead of widespread as it supposedly is?

You see this bird?

He eats bones.

Bones consist of the majority of his diet. He smashes them against rocks until they splinter then swallows the shards whole.

And he uses clay to dye his feathers so he'll look more dangerous and be better respected by the others.

>pink makeup bird that eats boners all day

>uses makeup

ahahahahahahahahahahaaa

t. edgy aussie that got bullied by a magpie

To attract females.

You're confusing evolutionism with darwinism.
Animals didn't "evolved feathers" so they could fly, their scales became more feathery-like little by little for no reason and then that random evolution allowed them to fly more easily.

tl;dr is: you don't evolve something "so you can do" , you just randomly gain something "and then manage to do something" with it

Lizards have color dimorfism as well and none of them have feathers.

Defend this, you literally can't

maybe the feathers were for insulation. imagine how hard it would be for a skyscraper sized lizard to get warm on a nippy night.

birds are gay as fuck, we need more big and dangerous reptiles.

You could also consider that feathers increase the organism's surface area and allow it to radiate heat over a wider area and cool off better.

You know there are birbs that hunt monkeys by slitting their throats or simply puncturing their brain through their skull right?

>Argentavis
>Terror birds
>Fucking corvids
>Any Ratite

Also remember that cutesy dinos like hypsilophodon or dryosaurs existed and that the single specie of animal that has won a war against humans was a bird.

Can a faggy bird fuck around with a motherfucking crocodile?

Fuck man, thats not cool
House hippos are an endangered species

Crocodile is a dinosaur, not a lizard.

I think it's save to say that the strain of dinosaurs that also evolved feathers was pretty sophisticated compared to other dinos, most of them being active hunters of pretty dangerous creatures alone is kind of proof.

What I mean is, bipedal lady lizard liked, as in actually liked, the weird scales so they stayed on.

And I shouldn't have to tell you how much sexual autism has evolved out of that, which has fuck all to do with actual flying.

>he doesn't know crocodiles are genetically closer to birds than they are to other reptiles

i like burds

kiwi

I bet he doesn't even know they have the same genes that code for feathers

>crocs and dinos
>even remotely similar when they lived side-by-side
dumb lizardposter

Anybody have that cassowary screeching image?

Sexual dimorfism usually comes after a trait and not before, at least that is the case in most birds considering the theory that states that desirable characters are just an exaggerated version of good characters for survival.

they're both archosaurs

afaik crocs are closer to birds than anything else

>talking shit about birds

You better fuckin' not

Is there any animal more useless than a kiwi?
Not even memeing. What a pathetic excuse for a living organism.

...

YOU MEAN LIKE THIS?

Alright, feathers aside.

Why the fuck does the media make dinosaurs roar?

I mean I can understand hissing and shit at the very least, but not roaring.

Sure it's cool, but is there any proof?
Even dino documentaries and shit do this.

That's a Guinea fowl

>The only real purpose to evolve feathers would be to fly.
Evolution is based on RNG so some Dinos happened to evolve feathers which gave them a 'fitness' advantage.
Their primary function was heat insulation and RNGesus decided that you could also use them to fly so that was a thing too later.
Fur is a mammal thing because they happened to evolve hair by chance.

dinos are over the top fucking extreme lizards so roars are highly necessary to make them even more badass.

do you want a dinosaur to sing a song to you like how a gay bird will do?

>Like that's one of the reasons they were able to get that big, because they were able to keep body temperatures consistent enough with regards to their size.
Actually it was because dinosaurs had ridiculously efficient lungs which could easily pump oxygen throughout their body even at fuckhuge sizes it really has nothing to do with climate.

There aren't, in fact studies said that most likely dinosaurs cooed "just like pigeons". Which got some people pissed...

But people (and the guys that wrote those press articles) seem to ignore that these are functionally coos as well:

>gay ass bird things

jesus christ that looks like Donkey Kong with feathers and a beak

Yep, thank you!

>0:25
that sounds exactly like a lion

Male dinos probably attracted females by dancing that involved jumping. Males with arm feathers jumped higher than other males by flapping them and females wanted it. Eventually the trait was exaggerated to the point where they could stay in air, becoming their way of survival.

that sounds extremely gay user, dinos seduced the females by beating the shit out of other dinos and random fauna.

that looks good so fuck you

and know this tho
and no one never will
>tfw still no time machine

...

That's not how the thing goes, feathers as in flight feathers don't pop out suddenly. You have firstly to develop hair like protofeathers.
It is more likely that the flight ability came out from gliding from tree to tree, specially since there are examples of that.

"Feathers appeared to impress females" is more imagination than hypothesis.

what the fuck that's badass

yeah but still super badass. the only time dinosaurs ever coo like that in movies is after a huge roar or when they're up close in personal with the main character and like looking them in the face

Name a better bird.

You literally can't.

Rule of cool but it also heavily depends on the dino

Some also blew air through their nose to make earshattering noises like pic related or hadrosaurs. Since their crests/ridges are the source of those noises they could actually test it with fossiles.

youtube.com/watch?v=lBU6zfI1b0U found this while looking for a back up of my claims, not sure what to make of this.

That's media doing what it does best. Not that there's anything wrong with that; we're just talking realistically.

And really, doesn't that apply to any big scary movie monster? Again, nothing wrong with it, just sayin

So was the "everything was fucking giant" meme true?

>pic related

What the fuck why can't cool shit like this exist today.

All we have a faggy little birds and fish and shit

it's only cool because you didn't experience it

like everyone else :C

Fuck man.

Living in the dinosaur age would have been some crazy shit as far as ambient sound goes.
No birds, just giant ass animals and shit bursting your eardrums.

Why do all of the cool sounding animals die
atleast shit like elephants and crocs exist. they sound pretty neat

woah there bud fish are pretty cool yknow

Imo JP Velociraptor sounds are the ones that have the better balance between realism and coolness. They are menacing yet have that bird-like feel (like a giant murderous magpie or something).

>tfw too stupid to be a paleontologist or any kind of scientist

Discovering different kinds of insane creatures and lifeforms sounds fucking amazing. Reee I wanna discover a dinosaur or an alien or something why am I so dumb and mundain

>discovering aliens
I think that's a little less likely than dinosaurs

It eats sloths and monkeys

Harpy Eagles are cool

it kinda does, but don't you think if a hostile animal is trying to be menacing towards you, it'll continue to make loud noises in your face? It doesn't just quiet down once it gets up close and personal

>Animals aren't cool nowadays

Flying Fox, mother fucker

depends on the animal, but yeah you are right

Although, who says that dinosaurs didn't do that? Birds certainly don't do that anyway; we all know too well they don't.

Don't you know about ancient aliens bro?
They will dig one up eventually.

People who complain about dinosaurs having feathers are the same kind of retards who complain about Pluto not being a planet.

You wouldn't like it as much as you think. Unless you are in some relatively unexplored sites you won't discover too many big dinos, let alone new big dinos.

Protofeathers and gliding might've been for impressing females, because male that climbs into a tree (and probably sings) is more visible than other males. There's many flightless bird species that find a high place for sole purpose of singing and impressing females.

ikr? Even the fucking emu's cuck them bad.

I wish I could have a protobird as a pet. Probably loud as fuck, though

I wonder if the more intelligent dinos were as prone to autism as birds.

you're entirely right user. I wish dinosaurs were still around. not the huge ass "i'm gonna swallow you whole or disembowel you" ones, but like the small insectivores/herbivores. ones that could be kept and sold in the pet trade like most lizards.

Hey paleontologist, guess what dinosaur this came from
:^)
Be a good sport, no reverse image searching.

I wouldn't doubt it

Some piglike giant mammal thing probably.

Looks like some kind of boar desu.

>Protofeathers to impress females
Consider that protofeathers, as queratin structures, demand a biomass and energy cost that is quite big to be there just for sum fuck. Also, that wouldn't explain why ALL specimens end up having feathers and not just males.

>because male that climbs into a tree (and probably sings) is more visible than other males
More energy consumed for what benefit? Also, as you said, it is more visible, but that means it is also more visible by predators as well. The relationship survival/number of offspring ends up being too low.

>There's many flightless bird species that find a high place for sole purpose of singing and impressing females.
We have more examples of gliders that are just gliders with no sexual motives behind that.

That looks a lot like a phiomia/Palaeomastodon user

That is blatantly a fucking hippo, it's a trick question but it'll only fool morons.

That's a brown recluse

They're way more terrifying with feathers, mate. There's something about bird behavior that's just disturbing and would be even more so if they were gigantic.

>demand a biomass and energy cost that is quite big to be there just for sum fuck

animals will go a long way just to smash
