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.
i just
why would they need to be so loud? did they spend a lot of time spread apart from each other?
do you think they made contact calls, like parrots and other birds of today?
do you think they spread out foraging, calling out to each other?
"I am thinking of you. Are you thinking of me? I am lonely, but not when I can hear you. I will see you soon."
i just. fuck dude. i am once again having feelings about the parasaurolophus. i'm only crying a little bit.
I mean, thats *exactly* what we think they were doing!
Plus, lots of hadrosaurs (the group Parasaurolophus is in) lived alongside each other, and they all would have been that loud and constantly talking to each other. So they needed to be able to tell which calls were whose!
oh to romance a fellow hadrosaur by bellowing from a great distance, singing a song that would be totally unique, only to be complimented and returned by an equally beautiful call from across the late cretaceous marshes. I think it would be beautiful actually. I would like to see that documentary
honestly the more we are able to find out about dinosaurs and sound the clearer it is that sound was just as important to nonavian dinosaurs as it is to modern birds
the Mesozoic was loud and everyone had something to say
#i am so heartbroken i will never see a dinosaur
good news! if you've seen a bird, you've seen a dinosaur!
i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.
Need it to be easier?
- baby carrots (good dipped in ranch)
- Celery sticks (add some peanut butter or cream cheese for extra flavor and protein)
- Broccoli (good with ranch, cheese, or salt/pepper/butter)
- Canned peas (you can microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. Good with salt/pepper/butter)
- Bell peppers (cut into strips, good with cream cheese)
- Canned green beans (can be microwaved in microwave-safe bowl. Good with salt/pepper/butter)
- Hummus (good with crackers or tortilla chips)
- Salsa (good with tortilla chips)
- Guacamole (good with tortilla chips)
Need it in something?
Can't see it:
- Hummus
- salsa
- Guacamole
Can see but disguised flavor (can usually be found store bought or done at home and use different veggies):
- Dressed up ramen - just toss in some random veggies in ramen of your choice. Pretty much everything I've tried goes fine with it.
- Chicken pot pie
- Vegetable soup (with so many together it's hard to taste any specific one!)
- Chicken noodle soup
- Sweet and sour pork (haven't tried it but chicken should be fine in place of pork)
Texture problems:
Need it soft:
- Hummus
- Salsa
- Guacamole
- Cooked carrots
- Avocados
- Beans (personally I prefer black beans and canned baked beans)
- Peas (make sure to cook well, great value brand has the softest peas I've tried)
- Cooked broccoli (note: it does smell bad while cooking)
- Cooked asparagus (note: also smells bad while cooking)
- Cooked zucchini and squash (good together but can be eaten separate)
- You can also puree most vegetables and eat with a spoon or use them as a dip
Needs to be crunchy:
- Raw carrots
- Raw celery
- Raw bell peppers
- Salad (remember you can put whatever you want in it! Even if that means no lettuce)
- Most veggies are okay raw, and are usually very crunchy
Veggies google says stay crunchy after lightly cooking:
- Snap peas
- Brussel sprouts
- Cabbage
- Water chestnut
- Bamboo shoots
Broad texture tips:
- You can change textures by eating raw, cooking, chopping, pureeing, etc
- You can separate different textures to use in different ways (ie using broccoli tops in a soup and eating the bottoms raw)
It also really helps to think about why you dislike a vegetable. I found that I am scared of green foods so I like to use those veggies for ingredients in things they are well hidden for. I've also learned that watching something while eating helps because then I'm not looking at the gross green things. When possible, I also like to get help hiding it (ie using cream of celery soup in my chicken and dumplings).
in your 20s you must rediscover the joys of arts and crafts to stave off spiritual decay

This is what picking a steamed crab is like
It must feel incredible to operate one of these machines. Just rip a car apart, casually toss it aside.
this is how i clean the fish head so i can put the meat in the soup
This is harder to watch than the ending of Brave Little Toaster D: I don't like that the car has eyes at the end and they're pleading with you to help it!

beastly reminder
Almost. Years ago my computer suddenly stopped working and lost everything on it. Fortunately a relatively recent backup still existed bc of my family, a recent parts switch, and dumb luck. But last year a friend of mine got hacked and lost close to everything he had done creatively in the last 17-ish years. Art. Novels in progress. Entire conlangs. DnD character Sheets. Music he had made. All gone. He never backed any of it up. Few months later I started this habit (or ritual, almost) of drawing a reminder beast any time I would make a full complete backup. In hopes that seeing these things might remind others and myself. (Another factor here is that I am an animator and some of the stuff on my computer took literal years to make. And the film university I go to urges us to take this stuff seriously, too.)
all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?
yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women
why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.
#op probably has this post muted but the icon is too real.
the icon is because of this post
POV: you make a good post and then encounter tumblr reading comprehension
btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post
op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik taylor swift is bi but like. why is she y'all's only lgbtq+ pop icon when there are all these other lgbtq+ people in the pop scene???"
i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across
hi op here I certainly did not fucking say Taylor Swift is bi
addressing a mutual by name for the first time is so scary like what if they think im creepy for it what if the name in their bio isn’t even their name and it’s just some random name they put there and everyone knows that but me what if they hate me personally what if i check 5 times but still spell it wrong
