You got it all wrong, it wasn't "rule" as in "management" it was "rule" as in "radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*".

Just seeing that made the theme song pop into me head full force. Crazy how things can stick with you.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's too bad the Stenograsaurus never reached it's evolutionary peak, just think of the records we could have had from that time!

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well they dropped the 'a' from the Apt-erodactyl because their daily performance felt phoned in.

[–] Grassgrowz@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

should i put eating and pooping on my CV??

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean: ruling your house.

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

He is on his throne

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You don't already?

Do you even want that IT job?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I didn't know they had a ruler. I thought they were an autonomous collective.

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They probably didn't have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn't invented yet.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're fooling yourself. They were living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class dinosaurs...

[–] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are we ruling the Earth or making the biggest mess ever in history? Who's to say who has the better admin skills?

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dinosaurs had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Ruling the Earth and making the biggest mess ever in history are not mutually exclusive.

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They did a better job than we are.

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

we barely know a thing about them. maybe they were burning trash on the sidewalk

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

If they had elevators that could handle Brachiosaurus then let the trash burn and pee flow in the streets.

[–] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren't ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I'm not an expert but I know enough to know there's a lot more out there.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I think the word you're looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

[–] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

My bad, thank you

[–] amon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's interesting how dinosaurs went from largest animals on land to small creatures we factory farm

[–] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It's is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We need an imminent giant meteor impact to know for sure

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 1 year ago

Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide

[–] Foxfire@pawb.social 15 points 1 year ago

Almost certainly

So you're saying there's a chance!

[–] Kompressor@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Washing away the brutal bureaucracy of the Devonian period as well smh.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not what Dinosaur Train told me

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.

[–] Boozilla@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just because T-Rex has those little arms didn't mean it wasn't good at typing!

[–] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well if you were alive back then dinosaurs would be the ones to be the ones to decide if you lived or died

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They made Anarchy work

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ohh, how I wish I coulda been the 1 to make your meem's score 1000, Hoomin..
