I demand a public apology for this calamitous affront.

The author of that article:
A direct descendant of Thag Simmons.

To be fair, those Thagomizers are brutal

Wow the writer really hated Stegosaurus for no reason

[–] AJ1@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

reminds me of that sunfish copypasta that came out all those years ago and influenced an entire generation of sunfish haters

🤓 did you know the Stegosaurus was as old to the t rex as the t rex is too us 🦖 that's a rock fact

Amateur. Took literal eons for someone to say this about Stegasour. I've gotten people to say this about me in my short lifetime.

I'm something of a grotesque freak of nature, myself.

Plus 10 points for that display to not have steggy in a sprawled posture. Still inaccurate to my modern eyes, but not horrible

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

The boldness to wear frosted tips in the Late Jurassic. Stego is my fave.

Stegosaurus was a weird looking critter but that's only because of the secret message hidden in every photo of him.

Fuck you, they were badass.
