IT IS ON 🇦🇺🇹🇷 Turkiye captain Hakan Calhanoglu says his team will DOMINATE the Socceroos in their World Cup opener. Huge words ahead of his nation's first match on this stage in 24 years. More: football360.com.au/turkiye-s…

I was going to say this one too. I hear people say all the time that "animals were larger in the past because there was more oxygen in the atmosphere" and thats just straight up not true at all.
"Bugs were big in the Carboniferous because more Oxygen" Now I know WHY this is still stated, we don’t actually know the full story (currently hypothesized to be a combination of competitive release and the bugs having solutions to molting), but this wasn’t the case.

I've read about half of the JW Rebirth Script. It's mostly pretty much the same. Loomis does not call the Mosasaurus & Quetzalcoatlus dinosaurs in the script so idk why that was changed to be incorrect. It sounds like the Mutadon was meant to be way more fucked up looking.

And yes, Koepp for some reason tried to put a scene of giant sauropods mating in a Jurassic movie for the second time. I dont know why he wants to see this on the big screen so much.

What a self-absorbed, shitty way to think about art. Is there anything this generation *doesn't* see purely in "the customer is always right" terms?
God forbit its an artists job and the fans PAY THEM TO PLAY. Concerts are not about what an artist wants or being as good as possible for the artist. Its about the fans experience, thats the whole reason the show is being put on 💀

Remember that recent viral tweet that was like "environmentalism is conservative now", and every second headline since then is some variation of "republicans to allow national park to be reduced to smouldering wasteland"
The Trump administration has stripped protections for the endangered dunes sagebrush lizard, allowing oil and gas drilling in the species' natural habitat.

I decided to be good and not take a photo but there's a dude at my gym who sets up his phone and watches anime through his whole workout. Honestly beast mode

A non-avian dinosaur or dinosaurs surviving to like the Eocene in Antarctica would be crazy but has always felt possible to me. Pretty far away from the impact sight, animals already adapted for long periods of darkness, bad fossil record for obvious reasons....
What is a (theoretically possible?) scientific discovery that would make you flip, froth at the mouth in excitement, and force you to temporarily lie down?

The remnants of the flora from the time still exist on the "outskirts" of what was the continent at the time (see The Antarctic Flora), bennettitales survived into the oligocene in Tasmania...

I love audiobooks and listen to them all the time, but its not reading. The performance aspect removes some of the imagination, and the lack of ability to stop and reread lines to contemplate them makes it a distinctly different medium.
People are too anti-audiobooks on here. For most books you don’t lose anything via the change from page to audio

I do still think it counts as absorbing the same information obviously, just in a different way.
