Here is evidence for Mesoamerican influence on the cultures of the southwest Indians-> and the Taíno tribes of the Caribbean->.

Think for a second: the Mesoamericans built vast empires, while southwest native Americans and the Taíno were tribes. Seeing how they'd interact would have been just as edge-of-your-seat as seeing any two vastly different Old World cultures meeting for the first time.

Unrelated, but I had no idea that the Transformers verse actually had stupidly powerful beings. Well, at least according to the VS wiki.

They can theoretically convey them, but this one just makes a statement with a rather novel, unusual, and yet somehow interesting, visualization.

Why does that "lamb" look like a dog?

And it was drawn all the way back in 1887 (when people have long been able to draw reasonably realistic drawings). It's completely beyond me.

theropod: Yes. Shit. I don’t think the free world had any real plan B or contingency for the worst case scenario that has apparently ended up happening. Things were bad enough as it is, and nobody really has any capacity left to deal with it getting even shittier. Nov 6, 2024 19:38:01 GMT 5

Infinity Blade: I imagine tyrannosaurs having finesse through their premaxillary teeth. We know they could delicately scrape meat off of bones with those if they wanted to. Aug 28, 2024 1:29:55 GMT 5

Supercommunist: Anyone find it kind of weird how some people portay gigantosaurus as a finese predator compared to a tyrannosaurus? Given that tyrannosaurus had the smaller gape and the duller teeth, wouldn't it require more precision? Aug 27, 2024 23:49:00 GMT 5
