Anyone else ever wonder whether the dinosaurs were delicious?

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (4 children)

100% they absolutely were.

Give geneticists 20 years, we'll have lab grown T-Rex in the grocery store

I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn't such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Well that's true if you have a live animal producing your meat. Not sure that applies if the meat is lab grown though?

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

At the point where we're making lab-grown dinosaur meat, I suspect the cool factor is way more important than silly things like efficiency. T-Rex meat all the way babyyy

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Great, can't wait to hear beards gatekeep ancient flavor.

"tastes just like chicken"

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Many of them probably would

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 months ago

i'd imagine they'd largely taste like wild turkey/alligator, since that's basically what they were and how they lived.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago

Forget the turducken. This year we're having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Would they taste like chicken, or like lizard?

Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well who on earth would be foolish enough to piss them off?

Tap for answer

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

pretty sure velociraptors were actually smaller lmao, more along the size of turkeys

cassowaries are significantly scarier than velociraptors would have been.

[–] Cordyceps@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 months ago

Make that an Utahraptor and we can reconsider

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago

You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

It's not what it seems to be!

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Owls really are basically cats.

Ps, pls put a NSFW on it haha. I don't mind but others will.

[–] IggyTheSmidge@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

Good call - not sure you can tag images in comments as NSFW (to get the auto-blur), but I've hidden it in spoiler tags.

[–] BoobaAwooga@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

When did and why did dinosaurs go from giant fangs to beaks? Or are reptiles more direct descendants of those dinosaurs

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Birds are the only direct descendents of dinosaurs. Reptiles were around at the same time as dinosaurs and evolved independently. There are huge differences, scales instead of skin and feathers, cold blooded instead of warm, etc.

Why Do Birds No Longer Have Teeth?

fwiw there were plenty of non-avian dinosaurs with beaks, ceratopsids for one.

Bird genre?

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Birds don’t just look like dinosaurs they are dinosaurs, scientifically speaking.
