Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I like the titanosaurs in general - they look at the same time majestic and goofy. Like Patagotitan mayorum:
Scale diagram showing Patagotitan mayorum alongside two humans. The background is made of squares, each representing a square metre; the humans don't reach two squares of height each, while the dino is 13 squares tall, 26 long.

and Udelartitan celeste:

As far as I know the P. mayorum was the biggest land animal to ever exist, as it could reach up to 30-something metres. The U. celeste is smaller, "only" 16m long.

Fun fact: the trees in the artistic rendition of the U. celeste are likely close relatives to this one from my banner.
