      If I was younger I’d call him an antisocial psycopath, but tbh we could probably use less people and more dinosaurs…

      Only issue is that it has to remain indiscriminate, and maybe move him around the globe a bit.

    Question. Does the dinosaur transformation still cure the cancer?

      If I had cancer, I would see that as an absolute win.

      Shit, even as a healthy (if overweight) man approaching middle age, I’d be tempted to volunteer for dino-gene therapy. “You mean I could continue life as I am and watch my health slowly fall apart or I could be a dinosaur? Can I still talk to my family? You know what, nevermind. Where do I sign up?”

      Since we’re not all dinosaurs right now, it’s safe to assume that his plans were thwarted.

    He could charge for that. I reckon people would queue around the block to be turned into sentient dinosaurs. He could be one rich dino dude with huge fanbase of folks who’ve got his product and idolize him. That’s bound to work out well for everyone…

        Absolutely. That’s the thing that always gets me about so many ‘villains’, they could inevitability gain their desired ends much more easily by being ‘good’ but persist in being evil.

    Ever heard of a dino with cancer?

      According to the American Museum of Natural History of New York, depending on the dinosaur species, they didn’t have the same pteryx to develop a cancer.

    Pretty sure that’s from the spiderman x-men crossover where spiderman becomes a teacher at Xavier’s. It’s a pretty short run with just a few issues and a really good read imo.

      I don’t know how serious they are, but there are calls to categorise them as Dino’s.

        Calls from serious scientists or just some people who want Pluto to be a planet because they don’t know what’s going on?

        Can you link me so I can read more. I’m interested.

          I heard it on a recent podcast, I Know Dino, which is really good, btw. I’m not sure if it was the newest (as of 08/05/2024) or one from a few weeks back. It was a short discussion. Like I said, I don’t know how serious is the proposal.

          Oh, and there are serious astrophysicists that do think Pluto and all dwarf planets should be considered planets. Idk if I agree, but I see where they’re coming from.

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
