Except when the cat was raised with dogs and no other cats. Met many a cat who thought they were a dog. (or dogs who thought they were cats)

My cat tries to bark. It just comes out like a weird chirp but he was raised alongside a dog and always emulated his vocals growing up to get my attention.

Ganbat , to linux in Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

You get to choose between hardware dependency hell and software dependency hell these days.

Zeth0s ,

Why not both!

AapoL ,

This is Windows 7 users. I just can’t understand them. Why use an old os for the feel and look of it when you can just use Linux and customize it to your liking. ( I know, I know software compability and such. )

They hate telemetry to a to a degree that borders on conspiracy. Whatever you turn off, it’s not enough.

In order to counter the Trump bot accusations going on this thread:

The Trump appointed Supreme Justices are conservative stooges that are clearly just trying to ram through as much conservative stuff into the justice system as they can. The cagey abortion rights the US enjoyed (though sometimes not in practicality) were abolished, which is bad. There were in fact a lot of posts about this on hexbear at the time it was happening. You can now search this if you so desire.

Trump escalated sanctions against Cuba. This comes up from time to time, but he’s obviously not in a position to directly affect this at this precise moment, though the cudgel of “swing state” Florida Cubans is used to avoid any de-escalation.

Trump-supporting state legislatures are escalating attacks against trans people, both as a practical threat (bigots can attack trans people under the assumption that their state’s law enforcement won’t do anything about it) and as a legal escalation to remove any federal protections for trans people. This is also bad. Trump is also partly running on this. This comes up frequently on hexbear.

Trump didn’t succeed in the wall (which itself has had varied response amongst his supporters), but he did increase funding for ICE, expanded detention camps etc. This comes up when it’s in the news, but Trump specific policies don’t tend to be news regarding this right now for some reason.

Trump’s tax cuts for certain sectors and the ultra-wealthy. idk why you’d think hexbear would support this?

and so on

I’m not sure why I’m doing this. I’m not sure why people are surprised that a news aggregation and commentary site tends to talk about things that are currently happening as opposed to things that happened three years ago.

There’s a dinosaur named after Zuul from Ghostbusters.

Full name: Zuul crurivastator, or “Zuul, Destroyer of Shins.”

They’re not wrong.

I love stuff like this. Here are some real dinosaur/extinct creature names!

  • Sauroniops: Literally means Eye of Sauron
  • Dracorex Hogwartsia: Dragon King of Hogwarts
  • Thanos Simonattoi: after Thanos
  • Irritator Challengeri: he was hard to dig up and scientists were angry
  • Gasosaurus: discovered while a gas company was being built.
  • Gojirasaurus: self explanatory
  • Attenborosaurus: plesiosaurus named after David Attenborough.
  • Crichtonosaurus: similar to an ankylo and named after author of Jurassic Park
  • Bambiraptor sounds cute, and it’s named after the deer (because it was deer sized), but it was a fierce and deadly creature.

There’s so many more; I could nerd out forever. I miss when I was a little girl, and people would actually talk to me about dinosaurs…

No please keep going

I haven’t heard of any of these and they are fantastic! Thank you for sharing.

Mouselemming ,

I feel excited because almost all of these are new to me.

I love learning these kinds of new things that I won’t use daily and get bored, they’ll stay bright and shiny in a corner of my brain.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

Fortunately, “Dracorex Hogwartsia” turned out to just be a juvenile Pachycephalosaurus, not a new species.

sheogorath ,

Here’s hoping one of the scientists would be batshit crazy enough to name a new species Biggus Dickus.

amanaftermidnight ,

I have a fwiend in Wome called Biggus Dickus.

SILENCE!

ALostInquirer ,

Gojirasaurus: self explanatory

Have they exposed them to radiation in an attempt to resurrect them yet?

I did not expect so many upvoted poacher sympathizers in this thread. I am disappointed.

Poachers aren’t poor. They make assloads of money off their illegitimate trade. They have plenty of skills that could be put to profitable use elsewhere. They simply choose poaching because it is more profitable.

Poachers need to be destroyed on sight.

I tell my cat she’s the center of the universe. Since space-time wraps around on itself, the known universe doesn’t have a defined center and any point in space can be considered its center. She knows she’s the center of the universe.

Case in point: Balaur bondoc was named just 13 years ago and its name literally means “chonky dragon”

Please, dinosaurs today would get 20 year corporate licenses. Arby’s-osaurus Rex; Modelo-dactyl — “for those with the flying spirit”

Edit: are they listening to us?
