Naaah, needs more feathers on the good boy.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 hours ago

Funny I thought it was the "the world is only 6000 years old" group that thought this was real for their ancestors?

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago

Ateists want their raptors scientifically accurate - with plumage.

[–] Gigdragon@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago

I didn't want this....but now?

I mean, if the package includes a Velociraptor that actually cuddles instead of opening doors and hunting me, then sign me up.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 24 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Open the door. Get on the floor. It's your turn to walk the dinosaur.

Yeah. But not on the bed.

Except some times on a lazy Saturday morning and they're being annoying because they know it's normally breakfast time now, but letting them up on the bed is a super special thing to take their mind off it. But they know it's not a "You just get to do this whenever you want" kind of deal now, it's invite only still. And they can't take up all the room or start to clean themselves, shaking the mattress while the humans are trying to sleep in.

Farts are an instant kicking off too.

Utahraptor gets to sleep in the bed. They are rather needy.

Sounds like you shouldn't own one.

[–] JoeTheSane@piefed.social 27 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Accurate. I am an atheist and I do want that.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Less than accurate. Where is my wife's boyfriend? Can't have him out in the cold!

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Sleeping in the raptor bed

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Consensually.

[–] ns1@feddit.uk 34 points 1 day ago

I would also like feathers on my pet dromaeosaurid please

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Just make that dinosaur minipig-sized and you have a deal.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 12 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Why does the right wing spend so much time worrying about what other people are doing? Is it because they have so much guilt in their own lives?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

I mean, the meme here is satire, no idea what it originally was supposed to be, someone slapped on the message about atheists for a joke.

But yeah, broadly it IS accurate to how conservatives feel about the kinds of families we want, the kinds of pets we want, the kinds of food we eat, the clothes we wear, etc. Every change to that normalized order terrifies them, it's in the name.

Feeling afraid of change is fine. Most of us have those kinds of feelings, most of us are going to have wary responses to the unfamiliar. But the conservative base in the US in particular have the worst combination in the world, which is fear of change plus stupidity, so they fall prey to any story supplied to them about what exactly they're scared of and give it no actual thought. All feelings, no thinking.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Yeah and TBF I'm pretty sure a lot of "right wing" folks would love to have a pet dino.

But they'd get a Tyrannosaurus to go with their Rottweilers and then tell people "don't worry, he's friendly" just before it bites some kid's head off

Just get a greyhound... it's basically the same thing, except when they then turn around, and push you out of the bed.

[–] Kraiden@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago

No but seriously! Why do they have to be horizontal! What's wrong with vertical! Vertical would be so much better for everyone involved!!

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 14 hours ago

Are you kidding? There's no way I can afford that thing. I live in America man, I struggle to pay for my own food and healthcare.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I don’t see the problem.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 17 hours ago

I mean, not neccessarily only specifically that world, but it's certainly an option.

[–] blady_blah@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Not me! My pet dinosaur can sleep on the fucking floor!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

You heartless monster. I can't say no, so both of mine pile in bed with me.

[–] Nagrom@lemmy.ca 7 points 20 hours ago
[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Would you also not want to have Mongo as your pet?

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

This is an outrage!

[–] eldoom@lemmy.ml 5 points 14 hours ago

It makes me very very happy to find a Dungeon Crawler Carl reference out in the wild.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

And how cute would those velocibears be? Ursaraptors? Bearsaurs?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

There were so many dinosaurs across so much of the globe for so many millions of years, that there was undoubtedly some species of raptors and related dinosaurs who were absolutely fluffy and chubby and look nothing like we imagine them to look from their bones.

Look at one of those speciality breed chickens that look like floofy mops, compared with an average chicken skeleton and you get an idea just how little we actually know and how wrong we might be about the distant past.

GSD actually have a time know as the velociraptor phase

My house still has parts of it eaten out by this utter bastard

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 3 points 15 hours ago

Aww, precious baby! My boy is actually really nice. He's only part husky, and must inherited his more mellow traits from his Akita side. He's certainly no Mongo, but I'm also no Princess, so it works.

I'm cool with this

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I have learned nothing whatsoever from Jurassic Park and am attempting to recreate dinosaurs. Blue, here I come!

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Just don't hire Newman.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 6 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Weird using a pic of Pratt, who join an extra culty sect of the church to make this point...

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 18 hours ago

It's not him, it's his character from the movie where he has a hot redhead girlfriend and a pet velociraptor. It's not the character's fault he's played by a turd.

That's clearly the raptor priest, coming to tell his church kids to stop sleeping in, but then he just gets so excited by seeing them sleep that he forgets himself and joins in the cuddles.

[–] orphigle@lemmy.ml 3 points 20 hours ago

Yes, please. Minus the woman with the orange hair.
