You mean: ruling your house.

You don’t already?

Do you even want that IT job?

Are we ruling the Earth or making the biggest mess ever in history? Who’s to say who has the better admin skills?
Dinosaur had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!
Ruling the Earth and making the biggest mess ever in history are not mutually exclusive.
Not what Dinosaur Train told me

Once upon a time, there was a mom Her name was Mrs. Pteranadon Sitting on her nest she heard scratching and said “Oh boy, my eggs are hatching” One by one her kids popped free Baby Pteranadons, one two three “I’ll name you Tiny, Shiny, and Don” But Tiny said “Wait… what’s that noise?”

Through the ferns and trees, orange she did spy And as she began to focus she made out an eye Fixed right on her and her newborn pups With her husband out she knew time was up With tiny in her beak and shiny clasped up tight As fast as she could she took off in flight Dawn called out “Oh no! Mom please!!” Shiny clipped a branch and fell through the trees Mrs. T couldn’t hold back her shouts She accidentally spit Tiny out By then the T Rex was right upon them It had made a quick snack out of dawn And as it raced towards her other kin She whispered to herself “never again”

“I’ll bring this beast back to my home And raise him like one of our own teach him tolerance and love He’ll be as docile as a dove (She is a time Traveller after all) He’ll grow into a T-Rex Jesus Or T-Rex Hitler if it please us We’ll control his destiny Now are you against or are you with me?”

Mr. T look up and sighed A single tear fell from his eye And he said “No we’ll raise him right And treat him well His attitude, well time will tell But if we can beat nature with nuture Then dinosaur truly is the dominant lifeform.”

“We’re not technically dinosaurs” said Mrs. T

Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train) Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train) Shes gonna use (what has she got to lose) The dinosaur train!

My crest, Oh it’s the best!
They did a better job than we are.
we barely know a thing about them. maybe they were burning trash on the sidewalk

You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I’m not an expert but I know enough to know there’s a lot more out there.

It’s interesting how dinosaurs went from largest animals on land to small creatures we factory farm
It’s is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.

to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I think the word you’re looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

If they had elevators that could handle Brachiosaurus then let the trash burn and pee flow in the streets.
We need an imminent giant meteor impact to knkw for sure
You got it all wrong, it wasn’t “rule” as in “management” it was “rule” as in “radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*”.
Just seeing that made the theme song pop into me head full force. Crazy how things can stick with you.
Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide

Almost certainly

So you’re saying there’s a chance!

Washing away the brutal bureaucracy of the Devonian period as well smh.
You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

It’s too bad the Stenograsaurus never reached it’s evolutionary peak, just think of the records we could have had from that time!
Well they dropped the ‘a’ from the Apterodactyl because clearly they started phoning it in.
Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.
I didn’t know they had a ruler. I thought they were an autonomous collective.
Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.
Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.
They probably didn’t have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn’t invented yet.
You’re fooling yourself. They were living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class dinosaurs…
Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.
Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.
Well if you were alive back then dinosaurs would be the ones to be the ones to decide if you lived or died
They made Anarchy work
Just because T-Rex has those little arms didn’t mean it wasn’t good at typing!

Ohh, how I wish I coulda been the 1 to make your meem’s score 1000, Hoomin…
