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.

You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week 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!

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

should i put eating and pooping on my CV??

You mean: ruling your house.

He is on his throne

You don't already?

Do you even want that IT job?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They did a better job than we are.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

My bad, thank you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

We need an imminent giant meteor impact to know for sure

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Almost certainly

So you're saying there's a chance!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not what Dinosaur Train told me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.

[–] Boozilla 7 points 2 weeks ago

Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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