If you had a pet dinosaur, what's the first thing you would do?

Also what would you name it?

[–] CrystalJagger@lemm.ee 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ride around on him and his name would be Brucey

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 points 8 hours ago

I think this is the best answer we've had yet to the dinosaur question.

And that's a big deal, because we ask everyone their favorite dinosaur.

Must the proletariat seize the means of production and depose the bourgeoisie?

Inb4 dinosaurs

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If you could find a dinosaur bone, would you:

  • want one bigger than you are and was really impressive but you couldn't move it and it would have to stay in the house;

OR

  • would you want one that was about the size of your finger and not really impressive but you could take it with you everywhere?
[–] CrystalJagger@lemm.ee 15 points 11 hours ago

He wants the biggest one

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 18 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

I didn't think this question could be even more important and relevant than the previous times I've asked it, but here we are:

What's his favorite dinosaur? 🦕

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

If a person with multiple personalities suddenly became suicidal, from a law enforcement perspective, would this be considered to be a hostage crisis?

And in the event that said crisis was resolved without the loss of any of the personalities, from a legal perspective, what precedent would be used in reference to state a case for litigation?

Additionally, in the unfortunate event that said crisis resulted in the loss of one or more of the personalities, how does one begin to calculate compensation for the surviving personalities?

[–] CrystalJagger@lemm.ee 9 points 11 hours ago

He stopped listening to me when I didn’t know how to pronounce personalities the first 3 times I tried

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Open the door, put the elephant in, close the door.

How do you put a giraffe in the fridge?

[–] CrystalJagger@lemm.ee 14 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Open the door and put him in?

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago (6 children)

Open the door, take the elephant out, put the giraffe in, close the door.

The lion Kind called all of the animals to pride rock. Who didn't go?

To your brother: is your sibling a poo poo head sometimes?

Alternatively: what's your favorite Bluey episode?

[–] CrystalJagger@lemm.ee 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He said that yes, im always a poopy head :/

And the best bluey is burger shop

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Hahaha. Nice. Also can't go wrong with $1/burger. I'm not sure my kid has a favorite (2 yo), but he does like the one with the dirt pile, so I'll assume that's his favourite.
