most public transport worldwide isn't trains, it's buses
because politics, that would anger china and we've made the absolutely galaxybrained decision to make ourselves basically entirely reliant upon that one country to survive :)))
HE'S GONNA SAY HE'S GONNA SAY
HE'S GOING TOO SAAAAAAAAAAY
about the acropoliiiis

except, as you can see, it makes them look terrifying, not like a cat.
you want khajiit, not Cats 2019
did you have a stroke and forget the second part of your comment?
this made me realize how different learning is via lessons and immersion, i never had that experience when learning english since i did it by watching english media, it was just that one day it stopped being gibberish and started being language.
no, that's not how cladistics works..
as you can see from the diagram, pterosaurs are not descended from the stem-dinosaurs, thus they cannot be dinosaurs any more than birds could be mammals.
it's not really a definition thing as such, "dinosaur" just means anything descended from a specific point on the tree of life.
most dinosaurs can fly, since all living dinosaurs are birds and those very famously tend to fly quite a lot.
well almost, we don't know what they sounded like but we can make pretty decent educated guesses at what they probably sounded like in general.
For example parasaurolophus very definitely seems to have a resonating structure, like a trombone strapped to their face, so it'd be weird if they didn't make some sort of trumpeting sounds.
Another big one is that dinosaurs generally didn't have anything like a voicebox or whatever the thing is that birds use to make their calls, so we can be quite confident that most dinosaurs didn't make any bird-like noises, and they wouldn't have been able to do stuff like roar either.
Which leaves us with t.rex probably just having sounded somewhat like an alligator.
Honestly it's pretty funny to me how people think 4d is all strange and terrifying, when in fact it's (to the degree that it can be said to actually exist, since it's theoretical/mathematical) pretty "simple" and just headache inducing to try to wrap your head around.
like your mind wouldn't shatter from being moved through 4d space, things would just look completely nonsensical and impossible, it's no more lovecraftian than subatomic physics. It's just Kronk saying "by all accounts, it doesn't make sense".
No, time is not the same kind of dimension as space.
I think the thing here that confuses a lot of people is that we need to use movement over time to help our brains get some sort of grasp on how 4 spatial dimensions could work.
Think of it like how document scanners work: the scanner can only see a thin line, so to read the whole document it has to pass that line over the paper, which takes time.
On the other hand you have our eyes which can see a 2d plane, so we can see the entire paper at once, no time needed.
So the time needed to scan the paper isn't part of the paper's 2-dimensionality, but it's needed to represent it in 1 dimension.
In the same way we couldn't directly perceive things in 4d, but we could rotate a 4d item through our 3d slice until we've seen all angles of it, and then try to build a mental approximation of how it actually looks.
A concrete example: to map a 3d sphere into 2d, you'd move it through the 2d plane which results in it looking like a circle that appears out of nowhere, grows until it reaches the widest part, then shrinks again until it dissapears.
Similarily, a 4d hypersphere passing through our 3d space would look like a sphere that appears out of nowhere, grows and shrinks, and then disappears again.
yeah but like, they most likely weren't going "unga bunga, gurg want hunt mammoth, gurg make pointy stick, ook ook"
as time goes on i grow increasingly convinced that they are just in extreme denial about themselves: at some level they know they're not completely straight or cis and any exposure to people who are comfortable with being such forces them to confront it in themselves, and due to societal pressure and upbringing this makes them feel terrible, so instinctively they reach for the easiest way out which is to remove the trigger.
it's very difficult when you can't fucking find the required kind of cloth for filtering, i cannot find it in any store here and i refuse to buy it from amazon.
i have this sometimes, either the memories are vivid a bit too long (and vaguely plausible, like your parents dying) and i have to just sit there for a bit waiting for my brain to sort out if it's real or a dream, or things don't quite exit the dream state right and everything just feels wrong somehow, which is fucking miserable and means i have to just try to fall back asleep so the brain can reset things and wake up properly.
