i love and consider all queer people + marginalized identities to be my community
this is not a safe space for terfs, exclusionists / identity police, or sexual predators

How is the parasaurolophus used its horn for sound resonating idea seen nowadays?
a-dinosaur-a-day answered:
100% the leading hypothesis. we’ve even modeled what the sound would be like
Sometimes if I get the exact right/wrong amount of drunk ill cry a little bit because i will never hear a parasaurolophus call.
These sounds where based on digital models, a friend of mine instead build physical models of Parasaurolophus nasal passages but also Euoplocephalus. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to bring him to Tumblr yet.

ALT@knuppitalism-with-ue can you link the tweet? Id like to hear his version
@uniquepickles2 click on the "view on Twitter" below the images. Tumblr is weird like that.
Oh shit i never knew, thank you!
@marimossy surprise! You actually do. We just call them birds.
Wait, does this mean we have a general idea of how both Parasaurolophus and Ankylosaurus sounded?
it sure does! plus some other lambeosaurines, because they all have brass instrument crests (iirc)
the layers in this simple cartoon tho
humans have a desire to feed dinosaurs, no matter what kind
Once the birds had learned how to initiate video interactions, the second phase of the experiment could begin. In this “open call” period, the 15 participating birds could make calls freely; they also got to choose which bird to dial up. Over the next two months, pet parrots made 147 deliberate video calls to other birds. Their owners took detailed notes about the calls and recorded more than 1,000 hours of video footage that the researchers analyzed.

Childhood family photos in the von Karma household must have been absolutely hilarious. You roll up to the house of famed prosecutor Manfred von Karma for his family portrait appointment to see a terrifying man, his more terrifying daughter, and this haunted Victorian child he insists is his son
fun fact of the day: anyone who tells you that "femme" and "butch" can only be used by lesbians took the terf pills- white cis lesbian separationists (terfs) are the ones behind the idea that only lesbians can use butch and femme when many lesbians of color have their own terms for masc and fem lesbians. this is also an effort to erase the history the terms butch and femme have had in including trans and gnc people, drag performers, bears, masc and fem gays into their preferred gender expression and community spaces. it's a historically inaccurate argument. have a good day!
