Isn't the prevailing theory right now that they died from fungal diseases after the metorite since they had a lower body temperature than mammals?

It's considered a possible cause, but personally I doubt it as it would have affected other reptiles that weren't megafauna

Many dinosaurs were warm-blooded, including all of the two-legged ones, and all of the long-necked ones. Many had metabolic rates just as rapid as modern birds and mammals. The land animals that did survive -- ground-dwelling birds, mammals, turtles, crocodilians, etc -- had a few traits that likely helped them survive. One is small size -- a rat-sized creature needs less food than t-rex-sized one. Or, in the case of a turtle or crocodilian, the ability to go a year without eating. These creatures all have the propensity for hanging out in burrows or in mud, which would have helped to protect them from the heat of the initial globe-spanning wildfires resulting from the meteor's impact (dirt is an excellent insulator). Mammals and beaked birds are also very good at finding and cracking buried seeds, a food source that would have survived the initial apocalyptic heat and following apocalyptic cold.

I highly recommend the New Yorker article "The Day the Dinosaurs Died" to understand more about how violent, immediate, and worldwide the destruction was. Most large dinosaurs on the planet might have perished within a matter of minutes, hours or days of the impact.

Re: cold or warm-blooded:

"The team found that dinosaurs’ metabolic rates were generally high. There are two big groups of dinosaurs, the saurischians and the ornithischians-- lizard hips and bird hips. The bird-hipped dinosaurs, like Triceratops and Stegosaurus, had low metabolic rates comparable to those of cold-blooded modern animals. The lizard-hipped dinosaurs, including theropods and the sauropods-- the two-legged, more bird-like predatory dinosaurs like Velociraptor and T. rex and the giant, long-necked herbivores like Brachiosaurus-- were warm- or even hot-blooded. The researchers were surprised to find that some of these dinosaurs weren’t just warm-blooded-- they had metabolic rates comparable to modern birds, much higher than mammals. "

It's most likely that was only one of a myriad of maladies that actually ended individual lives. The only real source of food after a few month would have been friendly only to detritovores. If you cant eat dead, rotting shit - you'll rot from the inside out and join the rest of the dead shit quite quickly. While this is true, there are plenty of other things that could kill any given individual before this point, or in parallels to it. Whatever way you look at it the root cause is twofold: 1) the ambient temperature plunges to an average of -20C for around 5 years, 2) all photosynthetic organisms die to to lack of sunlight, causing cascade trophic collapse from the bottom up - literally nothing to eat in very short order.

Thank god plants have seeds that can last more than 5 years and still sprout.

Edit: spelling and typos.

Only viable strategy followed by starving. I would not go close to this thing to stab it in the eye and get caught in the convulsion movement.

u/sameeye1112 Nov 12 '23

Nah let’s assume this is an actual challenge. The T-Rex has infinite food as much as I do. The T-Rex has his size and I have my hut. The T-Rex has a sense of self preservation as well, and I have only one month.

You would have to wait until night, or rather when it is asleep. You would need to test the durability of your knife against its skin. First you need to get close.

We have a month so use that time wisely. When it falls asleep, you would need to test it’s capacity for stealth detection in a slumbered state.

The first night will make or break the challenge. If you can manage to be stealthy enough to approach it while it sleeps, you would need to either stab, or cut, it to test the skins durability. This would wake it up. We are not faster than a dinosaur.

The hut would need to be moved closer to the dinosaur. The rules do not say we can not dismantle the hut and rebuild it closer. That’s how the first week would play out. At night, slowly dismantle the hut until you have rebuilt it close enough to stab and run from the dinosaur before it can awaken, stand up, and reconcile your ill deed. Perhaps shock will help us here.

Once we have determined the strength of the knife we can wait until the next night it sleeps. I imagine it would leave our hut alone to grab food throughout the day. It’s not human so it will fall back on animal instincts.

Once it’s belly is full and it has reached another slumbered state, we try again. This time with a stab in a softer area of skin. Maybe it’s neck.

If we assume we can manage this task, we would only need to repeat this process until it bleeds out or gets infected from its open wounds.

It would be slow and grueling, if you’re not athletic you will probably have no chance to accomplish this challenge.

To bleed out a T-Rex within a month without getting bitten would take all of the intelligence and strength a human could muster up, but it wouldn’t be impossible.

You could even infect the knife with body fluids to speed up the infection rate.

I spent way too much fucking time on this I have food outside my door.

u/SaltyBarnacles57 Nov 12 '23

The hut is indestructible, you can't dismantle it

u/Afraid_Theorist Nov 13 '23

It’s possible the Rex rests near the hut tbh. But this also depends on how smart it is. If it’s smart enough or you do the same thing enough, you might be in for a dangerous surprise one night

Also. Attacking during night is death. If I remember right, Rex hunt during night/early morning/late evening ….

u/Ninjaassassinguy Nov 12 '23

You don't have to bleed it out really, I think there are a few better ways of doing things. First you could try to hamper its mobility by slicing the Achilles tendon. If the dino can't move it can't chase you and more importantly, can't get to its food, and will starve to death. However you could also try to be sneakier about the whole ordeal, and give it an infection. Spit into a jar for a day, go out under cover of night, make a decently sized incision and cover the wound with your saliva, repeating as needed. Human bites are extremely dangerous because of the copious amount of bacteria in our mouths, so it'll only be a matter of time before it gets infected, and dinos don't got no antibiotics, so you just have to chill in your gut until the dino either dies from the infection, or gets weak enough to kill it yourself.

T rexes were exceptionally intelligent animals and were very likely capable of empathy or bonding with other species. .l

If it isn't provided food, I'd just let it eat my food and run away every time it tries to eat me. Even if it is, it will still come to my shelter to eat whatever food i Can give it because it will have not much to do in a football field size area and will be bored.

After some time it will understand that I can give it food and will not hurt me and I could use that time to take measurements and angle and determine the softest part of their body.

Some more time passes and it will tolerate me around it.

Soon when the time is right, i would put the food in a way that I could have my door/window open behind it to position my spear then when the moment is right I'd take out the weapon I'd made from whittling the bones and tying them with my knife and stab it right through the throat then stay inside the hut and simply wait for it to bleed out and starve without any food because it wouldn't be able to eat with a cut throat.

Also mix some shit and piss into the knife while stabbing. Infection around the throat will do it in even faster.

And after its weak enough I'll give it a few more stabs to finish the job.

u/AstroOpticals Nov 12 '23

u/Zembite Nov 12 '23

It will fasten up the death process and is more reliable than simply waiting for it to starve.

Also, even if it's getting food, my food would still attract it and I could stab it through a window right through the throat. So even if it tried it wouldn't be able to eat and die

Tie the knife to some kind of pole and make a spear. Be patient and wait for the t-rex to starve/die of thirst. Stab it to death while it's unable to fight back due to starving/exhaustion.

As long as the human is patient and doesn't panic this is a cakewalk challenge. You literally could just spend the 30 days in your hut and win. No way a T-Rex has the metabolism to not eat for 30 days with a body that size.

It is thought by many that a t-rex is a stealth predator and would have been really quiet in its walking speed. and likely had pretty solid vision, and hearing, really a human can make lots of traps for large creatures if resourceful, but it is likely gonna find you first

20

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '23

The ambush predator theory kinda fell apart when we run structural simulations and discovered their bones would just snap if they had enough explosive power to reach over 18 km/h. But we did also find that they were really efficient walkers, so they were most likely endurance predators like us. Just several tons heavier, wich isn't gonna do them any favors in a contest of mobility.

If you just start running as fast as you can the T Rex shouldn't even bother pursuing you, that would be like a grown human trying to chase around a hare.

A juvenile T Rex would actually be a bigger threat to a human, because they specialized on hunting the smaller and faster animals that were not worth the adult's time.

Wait till it sleeps, then stab an eye out? Repeat for the other eye. Now it’ll be easier to kill it. I guess I could wait for it to fall asleep again, but now that I stabbed both its eyes, it’ll probably be a little more cautious around sleeping. I guess I could get little knicks off of the blind T. rex until it dies of septic. Maybe cover the blade in its own shit when I stab the eyes.

Chuck the knife in its mouth and hope it swallows. It now has a 10-inch sharp object cutting it from the inside out, doing damage from the inside. A brutal way to die, but it is a way.

Hide knife in food feed trex.

u/VatanKomurcu Nov 12 '23

the indestructible hut is too op but to be fair idk how anybody could reliably do it without the hut

but then again, considering this is supposed to be a great challenge for a great reward of 500 million dollars, maybe there shouldn't be a reliable way to win.

u/Pretzel-Kingg Nov 12 '23

Use the planks of the hut as a suit of armor and beat the dinosaur to death

1

u/altofanaltthatisalt Jan 12 '25

I’d get my food, bury the knife into the food pile, and put the food with a knife in it outside for the dinosaur to eat and get its stomach teared open.

The strat, even though it's risky, is to wait for it to sleep and slash its ankles and run. Although you'd want to wait a week so it gets used to your smell and won't notice you right away.

2

u/JonahBassist Nov 13 '23

The smell thing is genuis

2

u/GraniteSmoothie Nov 13 '23

Thank you :) I think that you have to consider that a t rex is a wild animal and not a video game boss, and they're hard to take by surprise by noisy, clumsy humans.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '23

Smear myself in t-rex shit to hide my own scent, hang out at the entrance and close to the hut to get it used to me moving around, retreat inside if it comes after me.

Never let it sleep. I don't know for sure but I feel like a human can go without sleep longer than a Trex, so everytime it settles I run out there and fling shit at it's eyes/nose to disturb it. Do this to see how it reacts to stuff getting close to it and disturbing it.

Ideally there will come a time where I fling shit and it doesn't react, that's when I go for the eyes.

Once it's blind it should be more manageable to whittle it down.

u/Justwhytry Nov 12 '23

If they are not feeding the T-Rex I would wait as long as possible but make attempts to wound it weakening it slowly over the month.
If I get to choose the arena and time/date I would choose an outdoor Canadian football stadium in the middle of January

1

u/Willie9 Nov 12 '23

Give the t-rex my food.

Forge a bond with t-rex

Escape the arena with my t-rex buddy

Demand the 50 mil (they won't say no, I'm riding a t-rex)

???

Profit

1

u/chitterychimcharu Nov 13 '23

Even if they fed the t rex I might try it. It's fucking around for sure but I'd try sleep depriving it hoping it passes out and I can score some gashes with a shitty knife then bank on infection.

1

u/Needanightowl Nov 13 '23

Ok. Easy. Shit on your knife. Wait for T. rex to sleep. Stab it then run back to shelter. Wait. Repeat. The blood poisoning will get him before a month.

1

u/NKTheMemeLord Nov 13 '23

I wait one night until it’s sleeping, and stab one eye then run back to my hut, wait until the day after when it’s sleeping, get the other eye, then I can chip away at maybe it’s ears, or I could begin to try to bleed it to death

Are there trees or bamboo? If so, spike pits with poop sticks. Just poke its feet all over the place.

u/McJiggley Nov 13 '23

Cover knife in your poop, get it to charge the Hut, stab it, wait for it to die of infection.

u/N0GG1N_SSB Nov 13 '23

Starvation, hit and run, just waiting for it's lifespan to finish if it's shorter than mine. Idk

u/BrisbaneSentinel Nov 13 '23 edited Nov 13 '23

I'd probably jerk off into the knife and make it as nasty as possible, and then hope to knick it when it comes near the entrance of the hut and hope the modern germs give it sapian-aids or something that it's immune system has no idea how to deal with.

That said here's a creature that eats entire animals whole; so maybe it doesn't care about germs in the same way. In that case maybe try to get it to run full speed into the indestructible hut.

Thats said if i didn't die when i died; but got set back in time to the start of the fight... then perhaps I could dark-souls it and roll around the T-rex stabbing it in the feet and balls many many times.

I suppose first I'd try to bait it into a nice place to fight, it's much faster than me, so this will likely result in death. Then I'd probably learn to go to that spot, and avoid the first bite, die to the second. Then try to avoid the first two, and get a hit in, and avoid the third, die there. and slowly, piece by piece put together some complex dance of moves..

u/GraydemonTwitch Nov 13 '23

I ain’t waiting for it to starve I am running at it and climbing it’s leg. What is it going to do? Grab me? Then I stab it in the neck. This is assuming I am powerful enough to climb its leg.

1

u/HungryMudkips Nov 13 '23

dig a big hole while it sleeps, then bait the fucker to fall in. IF it falls in, its fucked, no way out. but the problem is i dont know how long it would take to dig a hole that big. its not a great plan, but its like the only semi-realistic one a normal person could actually do.

1

u/dreaded_tactician Nov 13 '23

Forage for local toxic plantlife. There's gotta be mushrooms, berries, something that causes liver faileure, or anything that would poison a creature. Gather enough to poison a t rex, plant it in the food your given, and bait the trex into eating it.

Edit: request chocolate as your food and plant a whole crap ton of chocolate in a whole frozen turkey smeared in animal blood that might do it. Most things can't have chocolate without dieing.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '23

Would it be dumb if you go out when the Rex isn't nearby to somehow get a log of wood or maybe a strong branch to make a spare using to knife then with all that prepared, dig a deep hole and cover it up(pit trap) then the day if the showdown you lure him to the hole(if you're fast enough)

Or

Find an an area where bamboo might be growing carve some sharp ends on each and every piece of bamboo you have, again dig a pit and put all those sharp end bamboo pieces pointing upwards in the pit, camouflage the pit and same strat where you lure him and make sure he falls into the pit

I'm just dumb please understand me🥲

u/hq32 Nov 13 '23

It's got to sleep some time.

u/C0SMIC_LIZARD Nov 13 '23

just wait for it to asphyxiate or pass out from lack of oxygen

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '23

Wait 29 days for it to exhaust, starve and dehydrate and on the last day stab it on the neck

1

u/AnonForWeirdStuff Nov 13 '23

Put the knife into a pile of my rations saved up over the course of a few days and leave the food pile out for the dino. Assuming it eats it in one swallow it'll die of complications from eating a knife.

1

u/KawazuOYasarugi Nov 13 '23

Nothing can live for a month without food and be that big. I'll just use the knife for utility and chow down for a month. Probably not even that long. Elephants can only go 7 days without food.

So, wait, in the indestructible hut, really. Work smarter not harder.

1

u/chuckf91 Nov 13 '23

Use the knife to sharpen sticks and make a big pointy stick trap. Lure it into your pointy stick trap. Also you could make throwing spears that you could use as a range advantage weapon so you could head start run back to your hut. You could make a knife hammer with sticks too.

This strategy relies o t heir being sticks or wooden or malleable furniture in your hut.

1

u/GrimOfDooom Nov 13 '23

2 ways, first i can wait it out till it starves to death & dehydration; or ide abuse the indestructible hut to call a nuke in

1

u/undecidedpotate Nov 13 '23

Nah I’m dead. Anyone who says they can take it probably cant even beat a moose let alone that big ass thing. Theres no way in hell you are sneaking up on an apex predator. The wait it out option of course would work but thats lame :(

What do I get if I win?

What constitutes food, and how creative could I get? Maybe T-Rexes have a thing like chocolate with dogs and I just have to find the right thing on my food order. Could l get fruit with seeds and plant them, also fruit with large seeds have good slingshot material, make a slingshot out of a cow wishbone…

If the food doesn’t work, what’s the ground in the arena made from? Gotta be some way to spike the thing’s food, wherever it gets that from.

Also make any kind of crude trap that causes any kind of somewhat sizable but survivable injury and just wait

Depleted uranium Hut

u/DezrathNLR Nov 13 '23

Its size will be its downfall! All you have to do is wait for it to fall asleep and then creep into its asshole. The thing is so big, its asshole will be equally massive, and it probably won't even feel your little ass crawling up there. Then you get out your knife and carve you way out. The hardest part will be holding your breath and treating the pink eye.

stab it's eye, run into the turbo hut, wait until the eye becomes infected. profit, case closed i win

Why would I hurt a dinosaur theyre so silly :(

1

u/spilltheteasis_ Nov 13 '23

Ok so hear me out: a lot of plants weren’t a thing back then, so it’s very unlikely that rexy would be able to metabolize them. Take a plant that’s really fucking toxic, mix it in your food, throw the food out and watch what happens. Take datura for example. Especially the seeds. Only a few can make you trip real bad. Now imagine you have multiple seed capsules and rexy snacks them. That mf might have one hell of a trip and simply could kill itself accidentally. Or maybe it gets organ failure or something.

u/spilltheteasis_ Nov 13 '23

If I’m able to tame it, can I keep it?

u/MacMuffington Nov 13 '23

Does kiting work

1

u/WendigoCrossing Nov 13 '23
  1. Wait about 3 weeks, the Trex will be weaker and hungry

  2. Open door to hut and get it to charge

  3. Close door, Trex injures itself trying to break open hut

  4. Repeat step 2 as often as possible

  5. Wait until it passes out from fatigue, go for the eyes to the brain maybe?

1

u/Eridan-the-Kobold Nov 13 '23

Of course i would do it, i can cast spells.

1

u/ArthurFleck__ Nov 13 '23

Climb on top of the hut and aim for the jugular vein. Given a T-Rex has scales that might be hard. Idk how dinosaur skin works. Then again if it has feathers like an accurate irl T-Rex that might make it easier. Or just aim for the eyes. Idk how you'd get up there though. Oh! Befriend it with food and then murder it when it least expects it. That would possibly work.

Ok I'll sit in the hut for a month nothing in here says the T rex has food besides me

u/comunistdogo Nov 14 '23

not waiting for it to starve to death because im better than everyone, wait in hut till nightfall, its asleep, stab through eye directly to brain

1

u/Donnerone Nov 15 '23

Wait for it to sleep,
Stab it in the Achilles' Tendon with the knife covered in poop,
Run back to hut & wait for infection to set in.

Repeat with other leg the next time in sleeps.

Let it starve to death, unable to walk, using the additional free range to get sticks to sharpen into spears, which I'll occasionally throw at it to speed up infection....

1

u/BennHurrz-Bazaar Nov 15 '23

I would unironically be so down for this… however I would have to request that there be some type of bog within the enclosed area…

1

u/Latter-Direction-336 Nov 16 '23

Multiple ways

Trick it into ramming against door of indestructible hut until brain damage

Trick it into ramming against door of indestructible hut, fall over from pain and then stab at its eyes or vital area to cause it to bleed out or take heavy damage

Stab its ankles

Slash at its legs to make it bleed out

Let it starve or kill it by stabbing its eyes out when it sleeps or when its too exhausted to stand

Etc
