To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

Dino people, I am abusing my blogging power to ask a critical question. The image below is a reconstruction of Sue, the T-Rex skeleton at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. This replica is considered to be accurate based on what we know thus far.

My question is this: How do we know this is the correct size of her eyes? Is it based on the size of her skull or something else?

werevampiwolf

They can see how big the eye sockets are from the skull. Also, most dinosaurs had bones called scleral rings, which are bones inside the eyeball. I don't know if we have any examples of T. rex that preserved them, but we do have other therapods.

(The info page is by @alithographica )

werevampiwolf

I'm reblogging again to add that this means that we know how big their pupils are, since the hole in the scleral ring is only a little bigger than the pupil.

It's also how we know that most dinosaurs had round pupils. It's pretty common for people to depict dinosaurs with slit pupils, probably because of Jurassic Park, mostly because it looks really cool, but nope, they were round. There are very few, if any, birds with slit pupils, which is further evidence for round pupils. And most extant animals with slit pupils are on the small side. Many people think of cats having slit pupils, and they do, but it's the little ones. Lions and tigers have round pupils, because slit pupils are most useful closest to the ground and they actually sacrifice some of their visually acuity for the sake of being better at judging distances in low-light conditions, and most animals with them are ambush predators that jump out at their prey. You ever seen a video where someone throws or bounces a ball towards a cat and it bops them on the head and they seem surprised? That's why; they struggle to track where the ball is going, especially horizontally. So for anything over a certain size, slit pupils are a detriment, especially if they chase down prey.

And yeah, if you've ever seen a scientific source say that a certain species of dinosaur hunted at night and wondered how the hell we could possibly know that, this is how. Their eyeball bones.

Hey so an insane new dinosaur got announced??

This is Haolong dongi, a new species of iguanodontian ornithopod found covered in what is basically,,, hedgehog quills??

The fossil is a stunningly preserved skeleton from China that includes evidence of hard armour scales on the tail (like in the much smaller Kulindadromeus), and a coat of spines along its neck and back! The name appropriately means "spiky dragon".

Not only is a spiny iguanodont wild on its own (this individual is over 2 metres long and is a juvenile, other ornithopods with quill-like structures are much smaller), these spines also appear to be an entirely new skin structure? They're apparently not feathers or scales, but a secret third thing.

The publication is available to read here!

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

spoke going in and slaughtering an entire civilisation with the justification that they refused to meet his demands is already supervillain stuff but he didn’t even give those demands in the first place. he didn’t even give them a chance to roll over. he went in with the sole purpose of inflicting destruction and terror and having fun and the people in his way were just unfortunate victims of circumstance (the circumstance being that spoke just happened to stumble across them). there was nothing they could do to convince him to stop because their resources were secondary to testing his exploits and having fun. it’s not their fault they built their house in the way of a forest fire.

i do love the name “unstable smp” because it’s just so fitting. because on the surface level it’s an unstable anarchy server. but beneath the lawless nature of the server the world itself is unstable. the farlands fracture into pieces and echoes of old empires—and specifically civs, sites where great stories have unfolded—as well as ghosts and memories of past events forever immortalised the way they are in legends. elytras don’t start in certain areas. the server is so big it cannot generate anything new, the farlands repeating things in both the 3d space and the temporal space. there is a wholeass dimension beneath the nether void. the server is so big and overfilled that there are exploits that only work on unstable such as spoke’s full invisibility. glitched amplified biomes. mobs don’t spawn naturally. a drought of resources from a destabilising army of invis mafia. the unstable smp is a post apocalypse world recovering from the cataclysm that was the invis mafia ravaging the world, it is a PEOPLE recovering from the collective trauma of the invis mafia and the treated cruelty of the tyrants of the server. but most significantly it is a world that has been, from the beginning, permanently and irreversibly affected by spoke and jamato’s exploits. the very foundation of the server was tampered with and everything since then has been janked just the slightest bit to the left. it is a misalignment that makes every calculation after that off by just one. unstable. roll credits.

genuinely my favorite moment in uu so far. most valid crashouts of all time

As a character, Egg isn’t apathetic. I feel as though his nonchalance is being misconstrued as a lack of personality or passion, but I disagree.

Egg cares deeply about the server and the world around him. He keeps his own records of his and Wemmbu’s adventures, enjoys reading other historical records of the server, and approaches every new story with a whimsical curiosity. I don’t understand the urge to flatten that out to make him apathetic.

And in terms of his morals being “inconsistent” (I do not think Egg’s actions often conflict with his moral compass and values) I think there is something to be said there. But, it still isn’t apathy, Egg simply lacks conviction. Having no back bone ≠ being apathetic. There is more to support the view that Egg has very solid thoughts, beliefs, and opinions, ones that in private he often states, but in person rarely defends, than there is supporting the idea of his apathy.

Honestly, I do not think Egg believes he can defend his stance and values on the server. He is not a fighter, he is not a politician, nor is he a strategist, Eggchan is a bystander. A bystander, that like many people in real life, cares for the cause as far as their comfort and perception of their own power allows them. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care, the tragedy is that he does and doesn’t know what to do about it.
