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

GSD actually have a time know as the velociraptor phase

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

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 mean HONESTLY!😾
I said Mongo, not Princess Donut.
Godammit, Donut 🐱😣
And how cute would those velocibears be? Ursaraptors? Bearsaurs?

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.

It makes me very very happy to find a Dungeon Crawler Carl reference out in the wild.
This is an outrage!
Wrong dinosaur, and she doesn’t have to be a redhead.
Patagotitan mayorum, yeah? ;)
More of an Ankylosaurus stan.
I would also like feathers on my pet dromaeosaurid please
Am atheist, can confirm.

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.

Fucking life goal right there
Blankets for keeping yourself warm, dinosaur for ensuring it doesn’t get too hot
They were largely warm-blooded like birbs.
And the meteor(and the volcano eruption) robbed us from this future.

Keep dinosaurs out of the bedroom!

I know It looks like simple fun and nobody gets hurt but trust me they will be digesting you afterwards.

Only if they get hungry. Like all pets really.

We absolutely could have domesticated raptors. Dogs are more than capable of eating us, and once in a while actually do just that, but that doesn’t stop us from spending more on their special diets and cute sweaters than we do on our human children.

A wild raptor? Probably not, if you’ve ever had chickens you know how vicious they can turn suddenly. But you also know how affectionate and loyal they can be. A few generations of selective breeding and you will have the ultimate protection animal. Jurassic Park’s representation of them being like fucking Alien and being horrific killing machines with brains designed for unlocking cages is likely a huge exaggeration of what kind of nuanced and intelligent and complicated creatures they were.

I’ve had wolves, they make terrible pets, but even dedicated predators have a measure of deep loyalty and love for their family unit.

A: it’s a joke calm down.

B: even if dinosaurs have been around since the beginning of humanity we couldn’t have domesticated them yet and possibly never could.

C: Dogs are mammals we are practically the same species compared to dinosaurs.

D: velociraptors specifically did not have social and hierarchical genes that would require evolution to take over not domestication it took humans ~200,000,000 years to evolve that good luck keeping humans alive that long.

A: it’s a joke calm down.

How are you reading “not calm” in any of this?

The word “absolutely” is generally considered an absolute and since it is in the first sentence sets the tone for the rest of the conversation as someone who absolutely has no room for negotiation on his view.
It’s an opinion, sure, I stand by it, but it’s not an emotional or hyperbolic term, so the impression of “intensity” you’re getting is kinda weird.

Allow me re-word your sentence:

“We absolutely could have domesticated raptors.”

My group without any possible room for disagreement from a sain man, disagrees with you the outsider.

My group (the royal ‘We’ giving a sense of universal acceptance but the sentence above clearly disagrees creating an in/out group mentality and the illusion that U am the odd one out placing me in the out group) without any possible room for disagreement from a sain man, disagrees with you the outsider (this last bit is interesting because it is not a sentence The layman would agree with wether true or not, ergo the entire point was to place me as an outsider not to make a fact).

That is an adversarial comment looking to discredit me.

A more proper way to say that would be something like:

You could domesticate a velociraptor.

Or if you truly believe it to be so

We do actually have evidence that it is possible to domesticate velociraptors.

As far as it being an opinion you are technically correct, your intentions might not have been to communicate aggression, however your opinion in this case doesn’t fall in the equation. you are performing the act of communication, the information that I received is what matters, otherwise you have failed that goal.

Nope, not doing line by line essay shit, I’m not doing this at all. Bye.
Oh sure, just the atheists WINNNNK
For a second I thought he was a raptortaur.
I have learned nothing whatsoever from Jurassic Park and am attempting to recreate dinosaurs. Blue, here I come!
Just don’t hire Newman.
I’d settle for getting to sleep

Yes, but Hermes instead

Me and my Dimetrodon saw you from across the club, and we liked your vibe.

Weird using a pic of Pratt, who join an extra culty sect of the church to make this point…
Here with his Praptor!
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.
Accurate. I am an atheist and I do want that.
Less than accurate. Where is my wife’s boyfriend?
Sleeping in the raptor bed
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?

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

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.
Yes, please. Minus the woman with the orange hair.
Not me! My pet dinosaur can sleep on the fucking floor!
You heartless monster. I can’t say no, so both of mine pile in bed with me.
Just make that dinosaur minipig-sized and you have a deal.

Let me tell you about:

Microraptor - Wikipedia

YES.

Thank you.

I love learning about dinosaurs. My favorite is the Ankylosaurus. What’s yours?

  • Yutyrannus ( basically a feathered Tyrannosaur)
  • Borealopelta ( an absurdly well preserved Ankylosaur)
  • Pachycephalosaurus
  • Parasaurolophus
  • Spinosaurus

Those are some of my favourite dinosaurs. If you want to learn about dinosaurs, give „Terrible Lizards“ a listen.
