      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.

    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.

    According to Kent Stevens, computer-modeled reconstructions of the skeletons made from the vertebrae indicate that sauropod necks were capable of sweeping out large feeding areas without needing to move their bodies, but were unable to be retracted to a position much above the shoulders for exploring the area or reaching higher.

    Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.

        So I went and stalked them. They largely ignore that ‘their’ exists, which is amazing, since their texts are otherwise near-perfect English.

        A few examples of their using ‘their’: 1

        [F]or the police to chase their had to be a reasonable suspicion […]

        2

        Their approval among there base of shias has only gone up since the conflict started

        3

        […] let people know about their bias […]

        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.

        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.

            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.

    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”
