because having no internet feels like being in the stone age, when dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

(this was before Jesus invented the internet)

Al Gore is the messiah?

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

So that you could play the funny T-rex game.

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 55 points 1 day ago

That's a cactus, but to answer your other question: Cacti aren't able to connect to the internet despite looking vaguely like antennae, so it's a decent symbol to get the point across.

some* dinosaurs predate the invention of the internet

also the desert is a remote location less likely to get a signal

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Is that why we call them predators?

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What dinosaurs were discovered to have evolved after the internet? Otherwise even if they still exist in some way they predate it.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Boring answer: T-Rex has proportionally short arms. It can't reach the Internet.

Actual answer: They didn't have a choice in that. They programmed it at gunpoint, held by a T-Rex.

Make sure to hit the space bar a couple times when you see that screen.

You are kidding, right? 😒

[–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 11 points 23 hours ago

Say this is a joke?

The developers chose the dinosaur theme as a reference to the game's function, a joke that not having an internet connection is equivalent to living in the "prehistoric ages".

And then runs. Forever. Until cacti or a crow kills it.

[–] Hamknight@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

It starts a dinosaur themed game where you scroll endlessly and have to avoid obstacles

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

To distract you from the Epstein files or something

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Release the Trump/Epstein files
