Chicken?

-7 points

Maybe y’all need to consider, isn’t it strange to fantasize about bringing extinct (potentially) sentient beings back into existence for the sole purpose of killing them again and carving up their body parts for sensory pleasure?

Nobody needs to consider that because it’s not a strange question at all.

Not compared to my other fantasies, no.

I was first imagining being in the same era and happening upon one as one would a deer in the words.

You first imagined cruelty and elitism. Why it’s that?

Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur’s own time?

I’ll rephrase.

My first thought was a survival scenario.

Your first thought was selfish evil.

Why was that, I wondered?

My point is that your world view was to interpret it as a negative first. Not a comical musing. Angsty.

The Human experience is pretty weird. Being reductive about just about anything we do ends up sounding like a horror show.

Probably like crocodiles, which is already a delicacy in some places. In fact, crocodiles are already dinosaurs, the only ones who were too lazy to evolve into anything.

Crocodiles are not dinosaurs, they are reptiles.

Both are reptiles. But the crocs and dinos are different lineages.

I dunno, I’ve read that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and didn’t really correspond with any category we use to sort animals today.

Why evolve more when they’ve already figured it all out?

To fly maybe. Not sure, it just seems biologically conservative when every other surviving dinosaur became birds, fish, and mammals.

A lot of dinosaurs died out, crocodiles are still around.

Checkmate evolution

Fish existed first, reptiles evolved from fish. Mammals evolved from reptiles alongside dinosaurs who also evolved from reptiles.

The only dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction 65 million years ago were birds.

Technically, chickens are dinosaurs. Crocodiles are not, though they are as old as the non-avian dinosaurs with little in the way of evolutionary change.

I assume like an alligator or crocodile. Probably depends if it’s a carnivore or herbivore too

Based on illustrated stories I was fed as a child, I would now like to know if the early Christians ate the dinosaurs after they were finished riding them.

Dinosaur meat would taste like petrified wood or rocks because it’s 65 million years old. Duh!!
