Side note: Darwin didn't come up with the phrase, "survival of the fittest" - it was Herbert Spencer and it was coined in conjunction with the advent of Eugenics movement. Darwin was responsible for the theory of evolution and that tends to get mixed up with Spencer's bullshit.

Here’s one good thing to come out of 2020:
Paleontologists completed a life-sized replica of Sue, the most complete T. Rex ever found.
And she is freaking GORGEOUS!
As I read more about this beauty, I found out some new details regarding things I thought I previously knew about the beast that was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I’m going to share them with you.
First, and most obvious, her size:
This is nothing new, we all figured T. Rex was big, but I for one never stopped to consider exactly how big it was. Nobody ever really knows what to imagine when they read about something the size of a whale that walked around and ate everything it could kill.
Speaking of eating things, I just want to remind you all that T. Rex had–by miles–the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal living or dead, somewhere around six and a half tons of force. That’s over six times greater than the current estimate of what Allosaurus was capable of, and three times what was delivered by the highest measured reading of the living title holder–the estuarine crocodile. It didn’t have to waste time swinging its head open-mouthed like Saurophaganax for a little extra oomph, or grow fancy serrated teeth like Carcharodontosaurus to cut pieces out of its prey. It opted for the simplest approach: get its mouth around something and crush it to death; imagine the full weight of an elephant on whatever was between this thing’s jaws.
“How did it find something to eat?” I hear you asking. “It can’t see something if it doesn’t move, right?”
Listen, I love Jurassic Park too, but that’s a big crock of shit.
Notice how both her eyes face forward. That gives her binocular vision (the ability to focus both eyes on one target, like you and I). More importantly it means she has impeccable depth perception due to overlapping fields of vision from each, large, eyeball. Researchers agree that T. Rex not only had incredible vision, but that it was probably better than most modern animals–including eagles, hawks, and owls–and that she could likely spot something three and a half miles away. If something that big can see that well, it doesn’t matter if you move or not, she’d be able to tell if it was an animal trying to hide or a piece of vegetation. So pray she isn’t hungry if she lays eyes on you. And even if by some miracle she didn’t see you, she’d still smell you.
If she decided you looked tasty, you probably wouldn’t hear her coming as much as you’d feel her. Modern science indicates that T. Rex didn’t roar like in Jurassic Park, but rather bellowed or maybe even hissed like crocodilians. If she were on to you, you’d most likely feel this sense of unease creep up your spine as a low-pitched rumble in the air permeated through you. You wouldn’t know what it was or where it was coming from until you hear her footfalls. By then it’s too late–you could try to run but she’d probably catch you. There’s plenty on YouTube that reconstructs what T. Rex may have sounded like, and it’s legitimately haunting.
To wrap all of this up, the one bit of good that came out of the cursed year that is 2020 is that this wonderful child of science and art came into the world, and reaffirmed my respect and admiration for the eight ton slab of muscle and teeth that is this magnificent creature.
…and it is nothing if not magnificent.
I honestly expected like three notes, what happened!?
Palaeontologists are the ones providing the data and advice but don’t give them full credit, this life-sized sculpture was created by ARTISTS, the artist team of @bluerhinostudio
They also created this Quetzalcoatlus that made the rounds online (image credit goes to National Geographic)
As well as many more amazing sculptures and dioramas, so please check them out here on Tumblr and on Instagram
They are currently working on a new Tyrannosaurus again which will be on display in Europe (image credit goes to Blue Rhino Studio)
Please give the amazing team of Blue Rhino Studio the credit they deserve
Not to kill the buzz but where are the feathers??
As it stands now, there is no evidence for or against feathers on Tyrannosaurus specifically, so either way to depict it would be equally accurate at the moment, if feathers are present they would be on the back and shoulder region as that is the only spot that doesn’t have preserved skin impressions
Below is a handful guide by Dr. Mark Witton who happens to be both a palaeontologist and an artist:
Fun fact! Sue officially uses they/them pronouns! Scientists don’t know if they were male or female. Because of that, and as a gesture of good will to the LGBT+ community, scientists officially use they/them pronouns to refer to SUE the T-Rex!
“(Please, do not body-shame our T. rex. SUE is perfect just the way they are. And, yes, “they” is correct there—scientists don’t know if SUE was male or female, so in the spirit of scientific accuracy and LGBTQ inclusivity, we’ve transitioned to singular “they/them” pronouns instead of calling SUE “she” or “her.”)”

“Please, do not body-shame our T. rex” is the funniest thing I’ve seen in at least 20 minutes
the beast: i’m gonna be cursed forever….. for who could ever learn to love a beast? :(

this post is my life wow

Eton College Chapel, watercolour with bodycolour, 52 x 36 cm.
1) they expensive bruh 2) none of us kno the dif btwn a fucking diamond and some fancy ass glass ur capitalist rock hierarchy has no control over us
3) mostly mined with slave labor
4) we get excited when our date buys us an appetizer, we don’t even comprehend people buying us rocks that would force us into debt for ten years
5) They aren’t actually that rare and the price is artificially inflated.
Pro tip from a former Jared’s salesperson: You want a sparkly white rock that will look like a diamond to the untrained eye and will literally cost the price of a nice dinner for two? Created white sapphire. They’re lab grown and cost *pennies* to make, so you can get a 1 or 2 carat white sapphire for like… $30-80 probably. You can get one as huge as you like, perfectly clear, perfectly flawless. And no one will ever be able to tell the difference except a professional appraiser. Also, sapphires are the second-hardest gemstone (right after diamonds) so they are very durable! Very unlikely that they’ll chip or crack. Get that bitch set in sterling silver and you are GOOD TO GO. Whole thing should cost you less than $200 unless you get a fancy band with a lot of extra stones. Of course, created sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, so if you want something more exciting than plain white, you TOTALLY CAN.
Created sapphires and silver: The poor Millennial’s engagement ring.
THANK YOU EX-JARED’S BASED GOD.
engagement rings: HACKED
Get a ring from an antique store. They’re usually less than $100, you know they hold up over time, no one else will have one like it, and it comes with the bonus of being haunted by the spirit of some old woman named Edith probably.
thanks edith
Woman proposes to her girlfriend with a ring from an antique store. Ring is haunted by Edith. Who, as it turns out, was in love with her girlfriend but never dreamed the day would come when they could’ve married.
Suddenly, inexplicable bad things start happening to homophobes around the young couple.
Do we have to pay extra for the possessing spirit that has it in for homophobes?
Not if you shop around.
Dehumanizing criminals are a favored tactic among authoritarians.
A society that has already demonized criminals and are stripping them of rights need only criminalize political dissent for opposition to be practically impossible.
anyone else remember Hot Gruntilda from the Banjo-Kazooie game over screen
Do Gruntilda’s big titties fill your body with lust? You’d nut in two seconds if you saw her green bust!
hey do you take constructive criticism on your posts
No sense in begging for what’s already free! Indulge in Grunty’s pussy and you’ll find pure glee!
this post feels like a nightmare im unable to awake from
A virgin can’t be picky when choosing holes for the stuffing. In the words of Inafune, it’s better than nothing!
I’m legit gonna kill you
Your actually going to die
Death comes for us all, but you’ll come even quicker! Five seconds? How pathetic! You’re making me snicker!
Tired of losing in Banjo-Kazooie? Drop those pants instead and make my loins gooey!
The bear and the bird have caused me such woes. I’ll make them bend over and suck my old toes!
if i had to read this with my own two eyes then every last one of you who follows me has to suffer too
You whine, you whimper, and oh how you suffer, but deep down Grunty knows you just wanna stuff her.
This post is pain but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t laughing through the crying.
Which one is your favorite? Mine is coconut milk! 🥥
Ah yes, cashew milk is definitely cruelty free
Almond milk also kills a ton of bees. Over 50 million bees (that’s more than one-third of bee commercial colonies) have died in 2018-19 winter in the US due to pollinating almonds. The bees can’t keep up and the almond industry in the US would collapse without bees.
Thank you for pointing this out! A lot of vegan food is actually more detrimental to the environment as a whole, disrupting food webs and harming the ecosystem.
