Perhaps through the evidence of a crater, and it's depth in the type of ground in which it was found, is enough for scientists to determine these creatures actually threw up fully erect, not unlike the night I lost my virginity.
threw up fully erect
It's called an orgasm
I've had my orgasm all over the kitchen floor after downing a litre of mead.
Or it threw up over the ledge; a lot of animals puke over the edge of something
The new "hell in a cell." Get to work and godspeed.

Sometimes you just don’t have time man.
how else would you crush your enemies with vomit
Speak for yourself
I elongate my neck when I puke, like a turtle. Not sure about you. I do however bend over by the waist/hips.
The small dinosaur:
Some things you just don't want to be remembered by history for.
Hate to be that guy and ruin everyone's fun but this is science memes, dinosaurs like that would not have there head up like that. They rarely raised there head above there shoulders.
Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.
I'm impressed that you managed to misspell "their" every time there. The only correct spelling was in the quoted text.
+1 for consistency.
Like, I want to up vote the fact checking, but I want to down vote the careless grammar. I'm so torn.

Actually, the science does not seem to be settled, with there being controversy about the specific neck posture.
Sauropod neck posture - Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropod_neck_posture
Same thing with giraffes.
It's a huge misconception of unrealistic biomechanics.
That giraffe is drinking.
When they're not intentionally bending down to reach something low down like a water hole, they look like this:
This is vertical propaganda.
Look I can keep posting photos I've taken of giraffes all day. All you have to say is "please post more giraffe pics"
Please post more giraffe pics

Are you talking about puking or just how they hold themselves? Because if it’s the later, have you ever been to a zoo? They clearly walk around with their necks held at like a 60-45 degree angle up from their spine. We can look up pictures of this in modern day too.
Giraffes literally have a rubber-like band tht keeps their head vertical at rest.
So yes, they do.
Let me guess, next you're gonna claim the Egyptians already invented rubber bands to keep their brachiosaurs upright? Not falling for it.
Almost. They actually stole it from the Aliens that they enslaved to build the pyramids.
Do we even know if they were capable of vomiting?
Seeing how both us and birds can vomit, probably. I imagine that developed very early. If you eat something harmful, you're dead if you can't vomit. If you don't have the brainpower to identify safe and harmful things, you're pretty screwed.
Didn' know birds can vomit. Horses can't.
Horses are probably the single most fucked up animal on the planet, with maybe the sole exception of Przewaski's horse. Seriously we fucked them up so badly, like im pretty sure if every dog was a badly fucked up as horses they would be a hybrid of American bulldogs, Bull terriers, and chihuahuas.
This is to say never use a horse as a barometer for anything when it comes to standard functions.

"Brachiosaurus puke crater" is an excellent band name
tickets still available??
Sold out. Tetrapod Vomit Divot is still playing down the street, however.
"Puke crater" alone describes the magnitude.
Try explaining that one after death.
"How'd you die? I got eaten by a T-Rex!"
"I, um well, I...I was going for a walk to find food and I know following this big guy who never eats the lower stuff is great, he cant reach it and the bugs that fall off the trees hes eating are great! As I was munching on a fleeing bug, the big guy burps and I looked up to see him puke. No matter how fast I tried to scurry away the goo was too much and it squished me flat"
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully you have better luck on this side"
This reminds me of a similar paper - "pressures produced when penguins poo"
Heeey, now I don't feel so bad about my University days, thanks!
Why have I had to wait two and a half years to receive this important information?
I’m impressed someone thought about this question
Ok sure. But how many keg stands would they do before vomiting?
Contemporary kegs or dinosaur kegs?
Police investigators are on the scene dusting for regurgitant.
Needs more jpeg.
Now I have to know: Do we have fossilized dinosaur puke? I know we have fossilized dung. Or could they not puke like horses.
Yes. You can Google the details yourself.
