You got it all wrong, it wasn't "rule" as in "management" it was "rule" as in "radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*".

Just seeing that made the theme song pop into me head full force. Crazy how things can stick with you.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's too bad the Stenograsaurus never reached it's evolutionary peak, just think of the records we could have had from that time!

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Well they dropped the 'a' from the Apt-erodactyl because their daily performance felt phoned in.

[–] Grassgrowz@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

should i put eating and pooping on my CV??

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean: ruling your house.

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

He is on his throne

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You don't already?

Do you even want that IT job?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I didn't know they had a ruler. I thought they were an autonomous collective.

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You're fooling yourself. They were living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class dinosaurs...

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

They probably didn't have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn't invented yet.

[–] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Are we ruling the Earth or making the biggest mess ever in history? Who's to say who has the better admin skills?

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Dinosaurs had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ruling the Earth and making the biggest mess ever in history are not mutually exclusive.

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

They did a better job than we are.

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

we barely know a thing about them. maybe they were burning trash on the sidewalk

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

If they had elevators that could handle Brachiosaurus then let the trash burn and pee flow in the streets.

[–] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren't ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I'm not an expert but I know enough to know there's a lot more out there.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

I think the word you're looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

[–] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

My bad, thank you

[–] amon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's interesting how dinosaurs went from largest animals on land to small creatures we factory farm

[–] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

We need an imminent giant meteor impact to know for sure

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 3 weeks ago

Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide

[–] Foxfire@pawb.social 15 points 3 weeks ago

Almost certainly

So you're saying there's a chance!

[–] Kompressor@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Washing away the brutal bureaucracy of the Devonian period as well smh.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not what Dinosaur Train told me

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago

Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.

[–] Boozilla@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Just because T-Rex has those little arms didn't mean it wasn't good at typing!

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ohh, how I wish I coulda been the 1 to make your meem's score 1000, Hoomin..

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

They made Anarchy work

[–] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well if you were alive back then dinosaurs would be the ones to be the ones to decide if you lived or died
