      Not horrifying at all. Still worth a click though. The vision based on movement joke had me laughing.

        Something is wrong with my brain then because that shit is nightmare fuel to me. I would much rather be devoured by dinosaurs than 9 foot geese…

      The raptors freaked me out, that was some John Carpenter monstrosity, I found it way way scarier than the original. They’re terrifying!

      Ok maybe I scare easy, I will try to do better next time.

    So he says he started with a 3d scan of skeleton, which is good. But then he says he sculpted it, and that’s where the question is - seems like a lot of guesswork involved in making up flesh to fit that skeleton.

      Yeah I don’t see how this guy applied any science here which would suggest that these be more accurate than the original movie. It’s just a sculptor putting different tissue over the same skeleton. Also not horrifying at all.

      They buy up every YouTuber who has any amount of followers. It’s a predatory app designed to squeeze people with addictive personalities out of all their their money. So it makes sense that they spray their shit everywhere. For every 10k they spend on advertising, they only need to hook 2 or 3 whales in order to make back their money.

      • Watching that happen in the Diablo game was eye opening. I grinded for hours because I enjoyed the game, then joined the top clan, we controlled our server. Then I was kicked out because my gear wasn’t expensive enough. I had the hours and game knowledge, but wasn’t spending $200-$2,000 a month to keep up.

        I had no idea people actually dropped that kind of money on Mobile games until then. I thought those were rare, but no, 90+ people were trying to shame me into spending with them. That was on one server.

    I choose to believe the ones in JP are accurate for their frame of reference. Since they were spliced with frog DNA they wouldn’t have turned out exactly how we expect them now.

      He talks about it and says the T-Rex was too big. So, if the T-Rex had feathers she would probably overheat and thus he/science/whomever thinks they didn’t have feathers.

      Don’t know if this holds up to current scientific research, but that is what the video says.

        There’s some evidence even large tyrannosauroids had feathers — hypotheses range from partial feathering to feathers that would be shed during the maturation process.

        Everyone’s a critic. I have something for you: A painter sat at the river one time, and a little bit distressed. A shoemaker came by, and he asked the painter, “What is wrong?”.

        The painter answered, “I can’t for the life of me figure out how to paint the threads of these sandals!”, to which the shoemaker replied, “I am a shoemaker, I can tell you, that the frazzles do not go that way, they go like so!”, and showed the stunned painter.

        “That’s just it! Thank you, kind shoemaker!”

        “My pleasure. Now, you might also want to change that cloud, it seems a bit off color…”

        “Shoemaker, stay at your heel.”

      Not all dios have feathers, just like all current lizards don’t have feathers.

        last common ancestor of lizards and dinos was 250 million years ago odd. Dinosaurs aren’t really lizards.

        Idk about feathers but that’s worth correcting.

          At least try not to assume too many things from ancient palaeontologist who make things up because they didn’t have the technology at the time. The winged dinosaurs theory can’t explain many things about the dinosaurs. The very few were actual flying types and the dinosaurs who couldn’t fly aren’t realistic explained. The popular ember dino with feather wings was brought from the black market, there’s no farther research into it, the ember is locked away and only a few research was done. That’s what’s called bad research.

    I enjoyed that tbh. It’s not often I find myself intrigued enough to watch a lengthy video, I think it’s the sprinkle of funny shit.

      Even in '93 they used gene editing to stop reproduction (which failed) and the combination with DNA of modern animals to fill in the gaps as an excuse for them not being perfect copies of real dinosaurs.

    It definitely has that horror movie feel to it, something about the dino skin textures unsettles me.

    How do we know his are more accurate? Does anyone have a photo of a real live dinosaur to compare to?

    If trees were super big back then, how have we only found bugs in amber and not also like dog sized dinos? Wouldn’t big trees make more amber? 🤔
