Or the rexes mourning their own fate and that of their curled-up baby rex in its nest as Chicxulub hurtles toward them in their final moments.

[-] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 3 months ago

Or maybe they're two hard working rexes toiling at the sawmill

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Dude. You need to paint this. It's a perfect art project. Make sure the outline is clearly the nativity scene, but color in the dinosaurs...

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well shit, that's awesome.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 1 points 3 months ago

I think you just won the internet for the day. This is the best image I've seen all year.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 3 points 3 months ago

Full disclaimer, this isn't mine. I just searched for it because I knew someone probably already did it. Note that the date of upload is 10 years ago.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Fair 'nuff. Still an awesome find, had to show my friends.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Oh. Shit. I want to do that now but am right in the middle of things.

I'ma let that percolate in the back of my mind until it festers into a compulsion.

Thank you for the suggestion.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

If you ever do it, post it here and dm me your PayPal and I'll send ya $20.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I'll keep it on the books

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

This is an oldie but a goodie. Someone puts one of those up at one of the entrances to our subdivision ever Christmas and I always chuckle thinking about it when I drive by.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

I can't see what the thing in the middle is supposed to be besides a table saw, but I can't see the rexes either, just people praying. Why would they pray over a table saw?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

they're Priests of the Long Cut.

They also worship the track saw, the rip saw, and the industrial full slab planers.

[-] lilcs420@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you. I had no idea what that was supposed to be.

[-] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

The face and hands are the jaws of the trex

Dinosaurs aren't real, they can't hurt you. But table saws don't fuck around.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Dinosaurs are, in fact, real and they can, in fact, hurt you. Especially don't fuck with this one:

[-] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I stand corrected, I know what those things sound like and it's scary

[-] Liz@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

About as descriptive as calling it a tetrapod tho

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 7 points 3 months ago

However both are still technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Eukaryotes are Eukaryotes.

"Birds are living dinosaurs, just as we are mammals," said Julia Clarke, a paleontologist studying the evolution of flight and a professor with the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin.

In spite of the physical differences that distinguish all mammals from other species, every animal in that group — living and extinct — can trace certain anatomical characteristics to a common ancestor. And the same is true for birds, Clarke told Live Science.

"They're firmly nested in that one part of the dinosaur tree," she said. "All of the species of birds we have today are descendants of one lineage of dinosaur: the theropod dinosaurs."

Think I'll go with the paleontologist on this one.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

I am not disagreeing. Birds are dinosaurs. But it's not a particularly useful way of understanding them for the average person. You might as well be extremely insistent that they're chordates. Do you remind people that trees aren't a taxonomic group every time they come up in conversation?

[-] toast@retrolemmy.com 1 points 3 months ago

I don't, but I try to.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You're right. The Aussies lost to emus after all!

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Don't say that within hearing range of an Emu.

[-] SkidFace@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

The demon core killed the dinos :(

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Ha I’ll never unsee that now!!

[-] sadbehr@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 months ago

You mean you can never unsaw it.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

What if we fought to the death under the airburst nuke?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

All I can see now

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

I unironically saw one of these and could not for the life of me see anything other than the t-rex's. I thought it was odd, but also better than the other decorations.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Now I can't see anything else

[-] azurekevin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I never saw anything but two dinos.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

KT extinction en route!

[-] philo@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

You're all wrong. That's two T-rexes about to eat Eric Cartman.
