Sparkledogs may have been primarily carnivorous based on their teeth, but some suggest that they may have been preyed upon by yet larger creatures as well. Scientists in this school of thought point to their coat pattern, which may have leant them an evolutionary advantage. Since they were likely pack animals, they may have been able to blend together with their disorienting and contrasty patterns. Each sparkledog specimen we’ve found may look unique to us, but the creatures up the food chain from sparkledogs were likely only able to discern a limited number of unique hues out of the range that we can see. It is likely that their direct predators were also nocturnal since, given their unusually large eyes, sparkledogs appear to have been nocturnal themselves.

i think tf2 sociologist and tf2 anthropologist should be real fields of study actually

it's totally different than the fields for humans because tf2 players have deviated from human social evolution so drastically that i believe they are a new species

I don't think you can watch video game videos on YouTube without incurring some sort of curse. I watched like one Fallout video the other day and now I'm getting recommended a video of deepfake Joshua Graham reading the Unabomber manifesto.

pbs eons has me so spoiled. i tried looking into the la brea tar pits on Wikipedia yesterday and the history section was just from the 1800's+ with notes from colonizers despite being 30,000 years old and like A Footnote about how indigenous ppl used them.

30 thousand years did not begin in the 1800's i hate how often history is limited to and presented as what some colonizer wrote down. talk to some indigenous ppl u loser, go deep on what different animals and plants and bugs etc are found in it, talk about how they formed. why would u just limit the history of something like that

anyways note to self i should watch these in the morning

Me when I point to something goofy and say to my beloved "that's you"

Dragon Age fic idea: 'Modern Person* In Thedas' trope, except the person is an archaeologist and the first thing they do is sit down and cry about it because humans aren't alone

That's it, that's the whole bit

*(‘And by 'modern' we mean 'from our current world' because despite the protests of gamer dudebros there was not actually a time period that had fire or otherwise-breathing dragons; you're not a historic realism critic you're just biphobic and racist Jared'**) **(Not a reference to a specific Jared, it just seemed like suitable dudebro name. If any Jareds read this I apologise)

This is so heckin cool. I love prehistory!

An incidental discovery of the oldest known complex organism revolutionized what scientists understood about the Cambrian Period. It’s an ancestor to coral, sea anemone, and jellyfish!

I haven't posted any PBS Eons commissions here for quite a while, so let's catch up a bit of the backlog:

• The Cretaceous mammals Repenomamus robustus and Repenomamus giganticus, from "When Mammals Only Went Out At Night" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqZONKXWPfw

• A carcass of the whale Borealodon, from "How Ancient Whales May Have Changed the Deep Ocean" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vb00-gcdtA

• And the early vertebrates Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia, from "Why Sour May Be The Oldest Taste" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXgd_cNZSvk

pb i remember once seeing an objectsona of freaking \/\/33ď / /\/\æřǐğv4n4 (iykwim) and i saved it bc i tjought it was funny but then i deemed it as bad so i unsaved it but besides that it was actually so cool. the ocs name was maryjane which is actually so clever and there were rainbows coming out of their hands and imagine if they had powers…that would be such a cool objectsona smhhhh…ive been trying to find it for EONS but i cant

idk if the persons acc got banned or sumn. but should i kind of like. use that concept,,,? it would be so fun but at the same time it is a frickin \/\/3ęd oc and also i usually like my objectsonas to be unique (or atleast not an object from the shows i watch/ plan to watch) the only thing really ive done was use an “object oc ideas” board on pinterest for inspo,,, but thats really it. should i adopt maryjane though and maybe tweak her a little bit tho so she could still be unique ig??? if ykwim?????? maybe???????? fkfjfjfjfjf

wow! this message seens really cool, important, informative, and interesting! but i dont really wanna read that so youre out of luck sorry!!

Don't worry, I read it. Uh, I'd say maybe take some concepts from the character to use as your own? Don't blatantly copy it, because that's just.. wrong. But there's nothing wrong with being inspired by other characters. Most of everything nowadays is inspired by other things, so there's no shame in doing so with fictional characters as well.

Hi Dinosauraday, as a biologist (in training, finishing up my bachelor's degrees (plural) atm) I love you and your work here to spread the good word of dinosaurs including the extant ones!

I wanted to ask, have you heard of/watched/do you have an opinion on PBS Eons on YouTube?

Also just because it's fun to say, my favourite kind of Dinosaurs are Ceolophysis! Keep up the good work!

Thank you! Good luck on finishing your degree!

I really enjoy Eons. They sometimes don't communicate something the way I would, but they make great content and really bring a good understanding of prehistoric life to a lot of people

an incomplete media list from 26.03.2024 to literally today (25.05.2024)

I kind of fell off keeping track of my media consumption for a little while, so this is not going to be like my previous lists, and is more of a 'these are the ones I remember' list.

I watched a lot of documentaries until Netflix (the villain) kicked me out for not being the main account holder. Downfall: The Case Against Boeing is a 2022 documentary that caught my eye due to the whistleblower that supposedly killed himself while testifying against Boeing. The documentary is about two airplanes that crashed on late 2018 and early 2019, caused by an update that Boeing deliberately attempted to hide in order to sell their new 737 MAX to airlines.

MH370 The Plane That Disappeared is another plane crash documentary - this time trying to solve the mystery of what could have happened to a Malaysian Airlines flight that disappeared in 2014. It mostly goes into theories, because even today we don't really have any answers. YMMV in terms of said theories and whether or not it goes into crackpot conspiracy territory, but I think it's important to also state that some families of the deceased themselves think that things have been hidden from them and that it's not just people trying to make a big deal out of it.

Last Stop Larrimah. This one had me hooked. It's about a 70-year-old man that goes missing in a town with only 11 other people, all of whom hate each other. I feel like if that doesn't intrigue you, the documentary is not for you, because there is no other way to explain how quickly I clicked on this when I saw that synopsis. INCREDIBLY well made, as well, and managed to follow the subjects over a number of years.

Into The Deep: The Submarine Murder Case. I thought this was so unique for a true crime documentary because when the murder happens, a documentary was actually already being made on the murderer, due to the fact that he's an entrepreneur trying to build a rocket. The documentary has been called is an inadvertent "portrait of a killer", and it is super haunting.

Outside of documentaries, I watched the Spy x Family movie Spy x Family Code: White twice in cinemas, a solid 8/10. I listened to The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift (which I actually reviewed, 1/10). I also listened to Bewitched by Laufey, which was a really nice 50's Cinderella vibes album (7.5/10) and The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan, which took a while to grow on me, but did (6.5/10).

Also, I binge watched PBS Eons on YouTube, because pre-history has always had me on a chokehold.

Hopefully the upcoming month will have me reading more - I dove back into BBC Merlin fandom and Hetalia and as a result stopped reading for a hot minute. Luckily, I have weirdly strict top/bottom preferences for both fandoms that go against the popular fandom trend (it's likely my preferences are BECAUSE of the strong fandom trend, I can get petty like that... though it's more likely to do with who my favourite is not matching who fandom's favourite is because UNSPOKEN FANDOM RULE TENDS TO BE THAT PEOPLE'S FAVES = THE ONE WHO BOTTOMS WHICH PEOPLE SHOULD REALLY TALK ABOUT MORE) and I therefore am likely to run out fic super quickly or get impatient looking for fic that suits me, so! More books. PLUS, Hetalia fandom always gets me re-invigorated to read history stuff, and I actually bought some books from the vintage market today which I'm so excited about.

so the kids get points for good behavior right, and they can use their points to buy things like extra recess. well today was the last day they could do extra recess, and I would say about 95% of the school was at extra recess

I ended up teaching a class with two (2) kids in it. and I was just like. do you wanna watch pbs eons or pbs space time

[luveline]

Hey jade, i just want to ask you what’s your favourite animal is? 👋🏻🥸

I think I like cats the most!! Or fish !! I love watching the deep sea fish videos on PBS eons, I’ve always loved marine life stuff and found it so fascinating

[milfholder]

If Charles Darwin had a youtube account I think he’d ignore stuff like pbs eons and instead watch videos of the lobster fisherman who break barnacles off of lobsters
