And then we pour them into engines to make em go.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Pet all the unicellular plankton!

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 3 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

It's all about size and appearance. Who's petting the ten-foot long centipedes?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

But they don't go into our engines.

[–] KokoSabreScruffy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Count me in.

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

At least we have our replicas

[–] lookingforanALFpolycule@lemmy.world 53 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

Sorry but we are literally killing 90 billion of their descendants a year in slaughterhouses

[–] WR5@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Oddly enough, different people can be doing different things.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

And we blast the meat scrapings off their bones with high pressure water jets and mold the resulting pink slime into… more dinosaurs!

Which is pretty fucking metal when you think about it.

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah but, I don't think the people that have the power and make the decisions to do that, have any dinosaur plushies.

[–] lookingforanALFpolycule@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You have the power. You make the choice to contribute to this multiple times a day.

(You) as in the reader.

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Yeah and marry me "chicken" tofu on TheeBurgerGuy on YouTube is better than any real chicken. It's like the best cooked chicken you'll ever have. Perfect texture and flavor! No gross raw chicken juices to handle. Happy belly and happy soul

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 14 hours ago

What if they DID, that'd be some Blade-type tormented soul shit. Tyson CEO/chicken otherkin, he stalks the night hunting Chick-fil-A employees and praying to Devil Dinosaur for another asteroid to wipe out the apes - but he was bitten by a radioactive chicken CEO, and by day he is bound to the grey boardrooms of a meat conglomerate!

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

We'd certainly need to kill a lot less than 90 billion if we had big ass dinos to farm.

[–] kurt_vonnegut2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 15 hours ago

In the most horrible circumstances.

[–] BeerStainedBunny@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I wouldn't love T-Rexes if they were here I don't think I can run fast enough

[–] coralof@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

I read this as "T-rexas" and briefly imagined a T-Rex in a cowboy hat driving a lifted truck. 😂

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 4 points 10 hours ago

I definitely can't outrun a tiger but they're still amazing and I would 100% pet one if I could do so without becoming lunch

[–] NihilSineNefas@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Skill issue. T-rexs can't run fast enough to escape my love for them

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 25 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I have an endless pile of turtle plushies. :D

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago

I hope when you lay down in your plushie pile that it’s just turtle all the way down.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

... And that's when the attack comes... Not from the front, but from the SIDES.

By the other two plushies... You didn't even know were there

[–] jack_of_sandwich@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 11 hours ago

Clever girl

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

I love you T-rex and would hug you without expecting a hug back. I know you're trying.

[–] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Watching an episode of The X-Files about a zoo earlier today. “Aww, the elephant wants to be friends with the truck! Aww, the puma wants to be frie- I’d be very dead if I were allowed to interact with dangerous animals.”

[–] crenquis@lemmy.today 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I always tell the wife that if they ever find my body mauled by a mountain lion, she'll know my last words were "who's a pretty kitty?"

[–] rain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 16 hours ago

pumas meow, that's how they would lure you

[–] crenquis@lemmy.today 1 points 19 hours ago

I have at least a couple dino plushies.
