As of today, I now officially have a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology! Next stop: grad school! 🥳🎊

Cereal guy meme with Nanotyrannus. The top panel shows cereal guy saying "He will never be valid" at a picture of Nanotyrannus from Jurassic Fight Club, while the bottom panel shows him spitting out his cereal at a picture of the paper by Zanno and Napoli that made Nanotyrannus a valid species, along with a picture of Nanotyrannus from the press release.

it's called uBlacklist ! once you download you just paste

Sad Spongebob from that one episode where Gary ran away

Mfw when I wear a cool/funny t-shirt but no one says anything about it

Apparently using my position as a content creator to provide some comfort for my viewers during a stressful situation is "political" now. Give me a fucking break! 😒
(He deleted the comment btw, because he's a little bitch boy)

YouTube unwrapping video but it’s me pulling the stuck shed off my lizard.

Family Feud but it’s the Capulets competing against the Montagues (this is a Romeo and Juliet reference, this is very funny)

"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"
Me desperately trying to forget my last paycheck (I'm broke af right now 💀):

That one friend that's too woke

This meme but the friend in question has insomnia (this is a very funny joke, please laugh)

That moment when you can't find the reaction image you want because you have no clue what it's called and can't describe it accurately in a search engine.

I know things are dire, but don't succumb to despair, that's what Trump and his followers want you to do. Stand strong, survive, and reach out to the resources listed below if you need someone to talk to. You can survive this, don't let him win!

Two fields of text. First field: Do Not Say “It Will Be Okay.” The results of this election will not be okay for pregnant women, for LGBTQ people, for the immigrants among us. Trump and his advisors do not show concern for the rule of law, for science, for freedoms here and abroad, and for the future livability of this planet. Trump’s economic plans are apt to have dire consequences, with the elimination of millions of consumers and workers from this country. Second field: Do Say “I Will Help.” There will be plenty of opportunities to help people on a personal level (there always are.) Do not given in to the national sentiment at the local level. You have more power locally. Some states will also continue to not conform for as long as they are able. Do not fall in to hopelessness. The future is not set. Damage will happen, but other nations have found paths to restoration, and we can too.

Do not fall into hopelessness.

My Paleo professor: This week we're gonna perform phylogenetic analyses and learn how to use TnT

Me already having TnT installed on my computer and has run analyses for years now:

I saw a celebrity in the flesh today

So is SVP not holding a virtual conference this year? That seems kinda dumb, you're basically screwing over anyone who may not be able to attend the meeting in person for whatever reason, whether it be financial reasons, medical reasons, or anything else. #SVP2024

DreamWorks in 1996 when Discovery Channel approached them about making a series based on After Man

Also, if Tianchisaurus is canon to JP, that means the actors Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck, Martin Ferrero, Ariana Richards, and Joseph Mazzello all exist in the JP universe as separate people from the characters they play in the movies.

The inclusion of Crichtonsaurus in at least two Jurassic World games implies that Michael Crichton canonically exists in the Jurassic Park canon, which means there's a chance the Jurassic Park novel also exists in the movie canon.

Have there been any media depictions of Thylacoleo where it doesn't make cat noises?

Mfw I'm driving home late at night and every other car on the road has LED headlights

It amuses me to no end that of all the famous cereal brands, Frosted Flakes is the one cereal that can’t be trademarked, so all the off brand generic versions can still use the name without being sued.

Why does Microsoft Word go ballistic every time I type in "passive voice", but doesn't actually give suggestions as to how to rephrase the sentence to be active voice?

Like seriously if Microsoft doesn't knock it off, I might have to start writing in passive-aggressive voice.

As a kid, you're scared to check your grades. As an adult, you're scared to check your bank account. As a college student, I'm scared to check either of them.

I can't believe I'm old enough that I actually remember when the only hybrids in the JP franchise was that Chaos Effect toy line and the scrapped JP4 concept.

In addition to that, the two aren't even related! Protarchaeopteryx turned out to be a basal oviraptorosaur, while Archaeopteryx is still considered a basal avialan (or at least a close relative of Avialae, paravian phylogeny is complicated).

The fact that Protarchaeopteryx, which means "before Archaeopteryx", actually lived AFTER Archaeopteryx (The former was Early Cretaceous, the latter Late Jurassic), remains one of the greatest examples of misleading names in paleontology.

If you think you know how big Gallimimus is, you're wrong.

If the multiverse is real, then somewhere there's a universe where sapient dinosauroids come up with spec scenarios where dinosaurs went extinct and mammals took over.

Every microwave I've seen has a popcorn button, and every bag of microwave popcorn I've seen tells you NOT to use the popcorn button on the microwave. This seems to suggest that there's an evolutionary arms race going on between microwaves and popcorn.
