2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Naturally, it’s Ankylosaurus. Just look at this armoured tactical turtle and tell me you do not love this silly little guy!

Just wanting to eat his plants. Wanna gnaw on him? Tough luck, it hurts and you cannot crack that shell. Also, he will fucking break your kneecaps with his built-in hammer while you’re bothering him.

Spirit animal.

Pachycephalosaurus the thick headed one

I always thought they'd sound like coconuts when they rammed together.

I bet these things probably had some really cool brain protection similar to how today's woodpeckers do.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Woodpeckers use their tongue for padding. I'm always in wonder when I hear one go off, sounds like a Warthog laying down fire.

The head knocking matches those things must have had within their species would have been insane! Like goats, only like, a hundred goats per goat.

Edit: Apparently, they were not that big, so maybe only like two handfuls of goats. Which is still a lot of goats.

Wonder if there were fainting Pachycephalosaurs. :)

[–] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Could I interest you in a Micropachycephalosaurus? It's like a Pachycephalosaurus, but fun sized!

[–] bunkyprewster@startrek.website 1 points 6 hours ago

I always appreciate a smaller sized version of my favorites
