Scientists are the ones who figured out that dinosaurs had feathers. Whenever science is proven wrong, it’s with more/better science.

[–] Klear@piefed.world 25 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

They even know the colouration of a bunch of them, like this Sinosauropteryx:

One of the reasons I would love to travel to the future is to see all the ways that people and science are confidently incorrect about depictions of dinosaurs now, and how they're depicted like 300 years in the future. Even within my lifetime, we've gone from slow, fat lizard turds to something realistic like this lil' guy. Amazing stuff.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I share your sentiment but I'd rather go back and see for myself. The future is completely unknown, who knows if you'd land right on the front line in WWIII. At least in the past I have a vague idea of what parts of time to avoid landing in.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 hours ago

You could say the same for the past, we don't know when dinosaur World War 2 was, perhaps you'll meet dinosaur Elon Musk and have to talk to him, it's a hell of a risk.

I'm glad it was so happy when it died. Doing itsy little walk, my cat does that when he has successfully captured the elusive ball of foil.

But first somebody had to make a movie with the wrong data, making the whole field cool enough to get funding to found out they were wrong.

This is something that machine learning may actually be useful for

I'm not old enough to see naked bunnies 🫢

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 28 points 7 hours ago

Look at those lil ‘staches! That’s the best thing I’ve seen all day

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Is this a certain type of rabbit or is it normal to shave them while leaving a moustache?

[–] BlindFrog@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

I imagine the shaver meant to leave the whiskers be

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

What the animal's skeleton looks like. Or How the animal's skeleton looks.

[–] ThoGot@feddit.org 13 points 5 hours ago

I mean hares basically look like the sketch (plus ears)

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 21 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly not that far off. It's like a wet bunny without the ears.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 19 points 6 hours ago

And if the scientists tried hard enough, they could probably figure out the large ears, too -- the skull would have slightly stronger muscle attachment points and vasculature openings to support the larger ears ... although that still wouldn't really tell the scientists what shape the large ears were, though. So you might still get a very odd-looking bunny out of it.

I thought the bun is the one who is alert, and you're just notified?

I go back to All Tomorrows every now and then. It's weird.

No room for wings? What if they found them elsewhere and placed them thinking this were a flying mammal?
