I played on a The Isle (it sucks don't play it) server that had rules, and most of the rules were good but one rule that ALWAYS pissed me off was that herbivores were not allowed to attack carnivores unless proved / attacked first. Which A: is not how herbivores work in nature and B: was a god awful rule mechanically for the game, it meant that as an herbivore you were not allowed to fight carnivores unless the carnivore was very confident it had the advantage and could kill you, which also meant that playing as an herbivore was just wandering around eating the same fucking bush over and over for 12 hours until carnivores decided to kill you. Ass.

Anyway I fuck with triceratops, I used to sleep on this dino but it grew on me eventually. Dilophosaurus is still my favorite though, I just love those gangly fuckers.

Just a friendly reminder that three-horns were racist against long-necks.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 16 hours ago

And everyone else. I specifically recall and sometimes use the line 'Everybody knows how stupid DUCK BILLS are!' Sarah's racist dad had some memorable lines

He was watching Fox News before mammals even existed. You can't explain that.

Lmao god that movie is beautifully animated though

[-] stevatoo@hexbear.net 19 points 19 hours ago

I always thought the hypothesis that the horns were exclusively ornamental was ridiculous. Like, they're practically aimed at t. rex's stomach

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 20 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

There are T. rex skeletons with horn marks in them!

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 12 points 18 hours ago

Off to munch some leaves. That shit's for scavengers must-go

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 15 points 19 hours ago

This picture is fake where is the triceratops' .50 anti-materiel rifle? How could it even fire a gun with feet like that? Yet the t-rex clearly has a gunshot wound. Hmmm......

Mess with the bull you get the horns pardner yeehaw deng-cowboy

Yeah, that's like that planet earth episode where they managed to get footage of lions attacking an elephant. A TRex going after a triceratops would be a very desperate TRex. There's a lot of tank herbivores a t Rex wouldn't generally fuck with. Wolves won't fuck with us unless desperate and most of the time if there's humans where wolves the wolves will avoid us cause we have a history of fuckinf them up. Also pure speculation but fossil evidence of such conflicts may be a coincidence of desperate times and greater possibility of fossilization during say, the early phase of a mass extimxtion

There's a reason most predators rely on ambush tactics

they got they tyrannussy rex'd

[-] AmericaDeserved711@hexbear.net 9 points 19 hours ago

the T-Rex's "oh shit I have been owned" face is priceless. RIP

[-] abc@hexbear.net 3 points 17 hours ago

strong claim but I don't buy that triceratops were 'regularly destroying' tyrannosaurs. this is like saying walruses (the triceratops of the artic) regularly destroy polar bears (the tyrannosaurs of the artic) when really they have a toolkit meant to help delay or fend off attacks BUT THE POLAR BEAR ALWAYS COMES BACK.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 16 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Those are completely different animals living in totally different niches. Triceratops weighed more than T. rex for a start and is far more agile than a walrus on land.

Also there are Rex skeletons that show gouging in the bones from triceratops horns.

Much like lions often die trying to kill buffalo or elephants, rex's would have been taking a huge gamble hunting triceratops. That's not to say Triceratops also didn't also die regularly to T. Rex.

Hell yeah. Fuck that Sharptooth up, Cera!
