No cooler name has ever been given to anything in the history of mankind.
what about Uranus
>>4844513Cooler names are given to random bumfuck beetles, if you look through wikipedia.What makes the name of tyrannosaurus cool is the animal it's associated with.
>>4844551>Cooler names are given to random bumfuck beetlesno
>>4844513It has been renamed to Representative Avian President.
>>4844554
>>4844570>noooo science can't just change as we find out new things, it has to be the same when i was a kid so i still feel good or else i get mad >:(
>>4844590I think the meme is more criticizing the way such information is conveyed to the public
>>4844675a bunch of made up bullshit is more interesting than the truth, what a surprise.
>>4844687
>>4844590dilate
>>4844513Lord of the Lizard Eaters the Largest > Tyrant Lizard King when it comes to names at least.
>>4844705He looks so happy :D
>>4844756>Lord of the Lizard Eaters the LargestSounds retarded. The latin name literally has "fag" in it.
BIG
>>4845091FEATHERLESS
>>4845129TRUTH
I think T. rex is pretty cool
>>4845418Spinosaurs...
>>4845769Not even comparable >b-b-b-b-but they were good in their own niche!Apex predator is the only niche that matters
>>4844513Just saw Jurassic World Dominion yesterday and boy I couldn't stop thinking how Jurassic Park is so much better than all the sequels in every level.
>>4844590Someone post the hippopotamus skull analogy to BTFO this retard.
>>4844687>the truthEarth to faggot, we don't what the truth about what dinosaurs look like at all. Best we can do is speculate to varying degrees.
>>4844549up yours
>>4845974There's is no need, he already BTFO himself
>>4844551Can you give some examples
>>4845974sometimes science is wrong. that's ok. it's never going to be always 100% right. why do rightoids think that because someone makes a bad conclusion, that means the whole process is shit? is this the byproduct of a religious upbringing where you learned that everything in a book was infallible because...because it just is stop asking questions?
>>4844590Kek the incels do NOT like when you point out that Jurassic Park is not a documentary.
>>4844513Capitalist Human President
>>4844513Brontosaurus excelsus (noble thunder lizard) is another golden classic.>>4846065Not the anon, but Titanopteryx is the most frustrating example of this.It was originally going to be the name for a giant pterosaur only for paleontologists to find out 30 years later that some entomologist already used it for a fly 30 years prior to the discovery of the pterosaur.There is absolutely jack shit on Titanopteryx (the fly) online and looking it up always leads you to the pterosaur it cucked (now known as Arambourgiania)
>>4846146>TitanopteryxThat's a terrible name.
>>4844513Fun fact: The name Manospondylus gigas was actually used for it first (1892 compared to T.rex's 1905 naming).In this scenario, however, Tyrannosaurus has such an overwhelming presence in scientific literature and in fields outside of science, it would be better to just revoke other names priority and keep using Tyrannosaurus. Also, Tyrant Lizard King is far cooler then Giant Porous Vertebrae, let's be real.
>>4846078popsci paleonerds are the ones who cant stop mentioning Jurassic Park the same way black people have only themselves to blame for keeping the n-word alive
>>4846215>the n-wordYou mean nigger?
>>4846214Would anyone care about T-Rex as much if it was called Manospondylus? Let's be real, the name is a big part of the appeal.
>>4846214So the ultimate moral is that professional Dino bone diggers should find cooler names for their skeletons if they want more grant money.
>>4846304Correct. And it's not even just paleontology; all sciences that are entirely dependent on grant money are at the mercy of marketing. So what's going to sell more? Tyrannosaurus the gigachad among all predators, or the big fat feathered faggot?
>>4846065Titanus giganteusManticora tyrannus
>>4846384All awful.If your name has "anus" in it you're never getting into the cool kids club.
rawwr
>>4846214Was the holotype material for Manospondylus even diagnostic? If not then it’s a troodon situation and should be discarded
>>4844513>Jobbersaurus Rex>Rekt by a fish eating duck>No arms LOLMeme dinosaur.
>>4846842>He doesn't knowDon't tell him, let him be happy
>>4846842T-Rex would literally wipe the floor with Cuckasaurus Cuckypticus
>>4846842>>4847506In real life the battle would have ended at 0:08
>>4844513How could anything this big and heavy ever actively hunt prey? It seems like it would be so slow and cumbersome that any sort of "chase" would be out of the question. Just look how awkward an elephant is. This would be 4x worse, at least.
>>4846947>>4847506>>4847517>Most anticipated dino fight happens again decades later>Trannysaurus wrecks gets clapped again.Oh nonono. jobrex bros why do we keep losing?
>>4847923Slow, Blind, Stupid. These are the defining traits of Cuckasaurus Rex. They were ambush predators because no way in hell could these noobs beat anything in a 1v1.
>>4846821It was literally just a couple of vertebrae. It's been discarded for ages now.Funnily enough, Manospondylus wasn't even described as a theropod initially. Ol' Cope thought it was a ceratopsian. It wasn't until 1907 that it was identified as a theropod at all.
>>4846195People will be contrarians over anything these days.
>>4848043your taste is just shit
>>4847925>ugh, hippos are slow and dumb, what danger can they posses!
