Atmosphere had more oxygen
They were not big, you are a manlet.
Big money
it doesn't matter why. what matters is their plan
There were less animals back then. Therefore more space for them to live in. Ergo bigger animals
How come I'm taller than my dad then?
What's that have to do with anything retard
There was more oxygen in the atmosphere.
and minerals
Is that a diplodocus?
Hes right. And why dont you look it up for yourself, retard.
I'm not ;_;
Because the sky is high up. I bet your dad is wider
Atmosphere had more oxygen when you were born
more oxigen more metabolism,bigger bodies.
4you.
Everything
Not all dinos are big but look at this motherfucker.
Different atmosphere + evolutionary arms race
History = His Torah
The product of American education everyone
Jesus
Nice sources you got there
book of enoch is top tier sci fi.

Jesus wanted to look cool so he had to make dinosaurs look cool so he made them big so he could ride in style.
Most skeletons are gone due sea level rising and low archaeology development
So... there is more oxygen in walmarts ?
your post is bad due low brain development.
When will they learn?
gib oxygen to North Korea, filthy capitalist!
They weren't. The biggest T-Rex was actually about twice the size of a chicken.
It's all just Hollywood bullshit.
These are European hours he's probably some brain-dead Brit
milkies duh
No, that's what oxygen tanks are for.
wow you are like really really retarded
Almost all of those have no evidence or are hoaxes. Good shit tho. Wish Christians (and Jews I guess) didn't have such a rod up their ass that they can't enjoy their own asshat crazy mythology of nephilim and literal ufo encounters.
The Australians worst nightmare.
the earth was smaller so there was less gravity
nope
I love you guys.
Like with every craft, you gotta go big before honing your skills enough to go really small. God only turned to microengineering later.
They're better than 2.5 Cumberbatches in height!
Correct answer is that the earth wasn't carbon dioxide starved at that time. If it weren't for humans burning oil and carbon the entire planet would have eventually fallen into a permanent ice age and all life would have gone extinct.
What's this from? I'm always up for some dino kino.
Fucking moron
No it didn't
I can buy Goliath being like a real life version of The Mountain whose size just got exaggerated over time.
Jurassic World 2.
Because of YOU/U (Hugh. Ford Hugh).
Are Norks all this small because of famine?
...
How are people getting bigger when trees and plants keep getting cut and forests destroyed?
Yes.
Gravity pull from the sun getting closer.
>he doesn't know about the forests and jungles taking over the deserts of the Hollow Earth
this, but unironically. we know that stars grow and gain mass as a result of chemical processes inside them (nothing is added to them from the outside), so massive that they eventually collapse in on themselves and turn into black holes. is it really that much of a stretch that the internal processes of earth could result in an expansion and increase in mass? on the contrary it seems strange to assume Earth just stabilized and stopped changing in any way except for a little tectonic plate movement.
Baryonyx. Diplodocus was a sauropod. Literally the furthest you can get away from a therapod and still be a dinosaur.
Why don't they make giant insects by raising them in oxygen rich enclosures?
Killer Croc?
You're a big...
>human under 2m
when will they learn
Oh hey, Carnegie!
It seems stable to us because we are not an old species and have been on earth for so little time in the cosmic sense. We can see changes in far away planets and other galaxies, but that's because we're outside of them. From the inside, I doubt our race will ever see real changes to the planet until we die out. Cosmic scale is huge and looong.
Dinosaurs never existed.
>posting the shopped version
Show the real one. The one that shows why the west fears best korea
Retard.
just like your sex life: a myth
We love you too, reddit.
This. The jews buried the bones in 1735 to lead the good Christians astray
they weren't. the big bang was younger then so it just seems like they were bigger now.
No, that only counts for arthropods because of their inefficient respiratory system. Our lungs are so efficient that the largest animal to have ever lived, the blue whale, can survive for hours on a single massive gulp of air. And that's our air, the normal levels of oxygen you are also used to.
Oxygen levels during the Mesozoic wasn't much higher than ours, and actually fluctuated quite a bit, sometimes a bit lower, sometimes a bit higher, but no extremes that could explain massive growth.
Again, you're thinking of the carboniferous and the giant bugs that lived before the dinosaurs appeared.
volume - mass ratio
square-cube law
Not really, therapods and sauropods are closely related
Dinosaurs (and their demise) were invented so people accept a future meteor strike false flag as real
>I don't know what I'm talking about but you have to listen to my opinion anyway
shit ton of o2
even insects were huge and some dragonflies were human sized
but the largest mammal on earth is still going on today which is the blue whale
Square-cube law
>I know what I'm talking about but I can't even point out what's wrong about a two sentence post
keep telling yourself you know shit, m8
forced perspective only works when the ground is all equal, the ice ruins it
>t avarage 4channer
Isn't it because of the giant oxygen molecules generated by giant trees?
Dinos are a myth. No way man cpild.jave survived when they were around before we invented guns
1.8m is the human standard for size comparison.
A more recent study begs to differ.
It's no longer the ornitischians and saurischians, the new study suggests ornithoscelida, containing both ornithschians and theropods, and saurischia, containing sauropods and herrerasauridae.
Animals are usually sized in accordance with their habitat. The flora of earth used to be huge. The fauna was also big. Flora shrank over time to what we have now. Most animals did too.
Simple. Elegant. Nature at work.
Silence, rube
They did though. At leasta ccroding to some recent discoveries.
We went from din+humans living together to lol no they didn't old scienc ewas a fag oh well I guess they actually did... sort of...
I have contributed speculation, you have contributed nothing.
>Asking about science in the most pleb and brainlet board from all Sup Forums
see
Two separate eras, the giant arthropods came before the dinosaurs during the carboniferous, oxygen levels during the Mesozoic era weren't that extreme.
And as a side note, the largest dragonfly was the size of a falcon, with roughly a 70cm wingspan, still way too big for a bug, but not man-sized.
I laughed at his ignorance. That's a contribution of sorts.
The real answer:
Japanese Gods and Ancestors are real and they're slowly but surely miniaturizing everything like chinks like to do.
what does that even mean
>I have contributed speculation
So you have also contributed nothing
>asking about science on Sup Forums period
fixed that for you
even /sci/ is just egostroking if your not this or that then your a brainlet and then they masturbate like its porn
Anyone who denies this shit deserves to be castrated via newspaper. This shit is very real.
It's an insult. He insulted you.
Fucking brainlets, I swear... you tards need to have every little bit of info explained to you.
Foodchain had high enough basic production to sustain large amounts of megafauna. Large amounts of megafauna allowed for large sized predators.
Most of /sci/ are just above average intelligence wikipedia readers. A few are students of some science field with no practical knowledge and no creativity in their thinking process. 1 or 2 are actual autismal scientists try to fit in in a world they don't understand.
