That's a cactus, but to answer your other question: Cacti aren't able to connect to the internet despite looking vaguely like antennae, so it's a decent symbol to get the point across.

because having no internet feels like being in the stone age, when dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
(this was before Jesus invented the internet)
Al Gore is the messiah?
some* dinosaurs predate the invention of the internet
also the desert is a remote location less likely to get a signal
Is that why we call them predators?
What dinosaurs were discovered to have evolved after the internet? Otherwise even if they still exist in some way they predate it.
I was right for the wrong reasons, I was thinking of chickens
So that you could play the funny T-rex game.
Make sure to hit the space bar a couple times when you see that screen.
what happens if you do?
Say this is a joke?
The developers chose the dinosaur theme as a reference to the game's function, a joke that not having an internet connection is equivalent to living in the "prehistoric ages".
He jumps
And then runs. Forever. Until cacti or a crow kills it.
You are kidding, right? 😒
It starts a dinosaur themed game where you scroll endlessly and have to avoid obstacles
How do you start the game?
To distract you from the Epstein files or something
Release the Trump/Epstein files

Ermahgerd Errrpschternnn!
Boring answer: T-Rex has proportionally short arms. It can't reach the Internet.
Actual answer: They didn't have a choice in that. They programmed it at gunpoint, held by a T-Rex.
Dino's died just like your page
always thought it seemed related to kitten cannon. same timeframe maybe. still in use?
