Same for cleopatra and the pyramids

[–] [email protected] 54 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Wait, why would a T-rex fight Cleopatra and the pyramids?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

For the implication.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I think they meant if the T-Rex fought Cleopatra for the pyramids.

Does it really need a reason?

[–] Everythingispenguins 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They just have a born hatred of regular shaped objects. They don't like order and seek to destroy it.

They were ancient when she was ruling Egypt

[–] Cosmicomical 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Exactly, she would be better represented riding a monocycle than having anything to do with the pyramids.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why? She would have clearly known about them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (5 children)

I was thinking the same. People are probably mixing up the being alive during the construction of the pyramids with coexisting with them. Even us today coexist with the pyramids and could be accurately pictured around them.

The pyramids riding a unicycle is a new one

I don't know that most people can tell the difference between an Allosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

never did, they just didnt have the organ that most panthers use to roar, or even anything similar.

most non-avian dinosaurs could only do deep and hissing sounds, similar to today's crocodiles. the exceptions to that being parasaurolophus and that one ankylosaurid that might have an organ similar to the one birds use to make sounds (though still not roaring)

Don't get me started on the general public's recognition of the Somosaurus.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's one which looks like the sugmasaurus?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

It's often confused with the mighty ligmasaurus.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I apologize, but is that spelled correctly? I am finding several variations of the spelling with wildly different creatures.

Simosaurus versus Siamosaurus versus Sonorasaurus

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It is not real. I was riffing on allosaurus.

whos somosaurus

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Now I just wanna see the T-Rex fighting a stegosaurus while both are riding unicycles.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 5 months ago (6 children)
[–] Everythingispenguins 35 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Clearly this is not a fight but a family picture. You can see their hybrid kids in the background.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Maybe the AI interpreted fighting as 'wrestling'

The kids in back just want mom and dad to stop fighting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Oh hey, it's me, one of the kids.

[–] Gigan 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And yet I can't get the damn AI to get anything close to the scene in trying to get it to draw for me for my D&D campaign, being one that could conceivably exist in the real world.

Google's is especially hilarious. Even just the word "waterfall" and it complains that it would be against the terms of service.

I guess there were no pedals in the training data 😆.

TIL that electric unicycles exist...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They are so much fun. On a related note I've broken my wrist twice since discovering that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Over 10k miles here, not a scratch. My brother though, he's biffed it at 45mph. Got back up and kept riding. These things are awesome

[–] marcos 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Is the one on the photo missing some tooth?

[–] Sigh_Bafanada 36 points 5 months ago

It took him a few tries to get confident on the electric unicycle.

And his arms didn't protect him when he fell.

[–] Wermhatswormhat 7 points 5 months ago

He’s from the south, his name is Cletus.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean technically a thesaurus could've fought both

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

That’s just ridiculous, goofy, supercilious, absurd, laughable, comical, ludicrous, chucklesome, and risible.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

if you made a movie where George Washington defeated the British with tactical nukes while wearing a cowboy out it would still be more accurate than Braveheart

Same for cavemen fighting dinosaurs, since humans came along long after dinosaurs went extinct. Not that I don't love Ray Harryhausen's work.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So what's the verdict, are the electric unicycles cool? Have they broken the curse? They do look cool, and you better be wearing the full motorcycle getup if you know what's good for you, because they're fast as f too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The cycles themselves look cool, but I have seen enough people riding them to say with confidence you still don't look cool on them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

It's always middle aged white dudes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

My microsoft dinosaur CD said otherwise!

But they broke my microsoft dinosaur CD and they bonked me on the head and broke all my pencils! I'm very hurt about this.
