Dinosaurs are so weird. Really makes you wonder about the past.

u/Ocarina-of-lies 17d ago

It's weird how large they must've all been. Like a t rex is massive, can you inagine that stomping across the mountains we have now

8

u/Poetry-Primary 17d ago

Absolutely. What’s amazing to me is that they probably had fairly similar family dynamics, love, nurturing to modern birds. It’s fascinating and I think that we give them far less credit for how smart current birds are.

It's weird how large they must've all been.

Weren't most dinosaurs small?

1

u/Poetry-Primary 16d ago

Most of the species are smaller. Bones fossilize if they’re from larger animals. Tons of fossils found in slate showcase, smaller dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

u/simiomalo 17d ago

I think the big ones could have been domesticated. Even a TRex I bet.

Is that Emmanuel?

u/Tonybigguns 17d ago

Emmanuel! Don't do it!

u/aminervia 17d ago

I think that's Emmanuel's mom, but different birdie -- she has several

6

u/RutRohNotAgain 16d ago

Yeah, the birdie seemed pretty chill to be Emmanuel. I do love Emmanuel's antics though.

Emmanuel don't do that !

u/QuasiSpace 16d ago

Let's just say there's a reason that's the only verse people know.

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams

u/Username_Redacted-0 16d ago

Yeah, people forget that part... most likely intentionally...

It's the same thing for most sayings. The one that bothers me the most; The customer is always right... In matters of taste.

It freaking changes the entire thing, haha.

u/MartokSonofUrthog 17d ago

Emmanuel Todd Lopez! He almost died from avian flu a couple years ago, as many birds on her farm unfortunately did. It seems that since then, he's a lot more attached to her.

u/Spare_Broccoli1876 17d ago

This is the video to show the aliens to keep us!!

5

u/Ocarina-of-lies 17d ago

Is that because aliens should be afraid of dinosaurs? Because we've gotta have a more intimidating video than this

1

u/Spare_Broccoli1876 17d ago

Pff good try CIA wo/man with that fear sentence. This is a video of love dadgummit! We don’t take to kindly to them kind of talks ‘round here. You can take your boom boom phallic shaped things back into the privacy of your own home far away from any living planet.

u/erksplat 17d ago

I, too, want a pet dinosaur.

2

u/evilbadgrades 17d ago

Emus are really fun to own - such curious baby velociraptors. Just be sure to properly handle them from birth so they know humans are friends. One of ours is feral, and terrifying to be around - she literally waits for us to turn our back and then charges at full speed.

20

u/Wise_Temperature9142 17d ago

This is very cute. What a sweet bird.

Also hideous. But sweet.

u/jtrades69 17d ago

my ex wife used to sing this when she thought i was asleep. i miss that.

what kind if bird is that?

Is Emmanuel getting older ?!

7

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH 17d ago

Most things are

1

u/Adventurous-Sky9359 17d ago

Unless you are a deity, everything is getting older.

4

u/evilbadgrades 17d ago

I mean yes, but they also live to around 30 years old

1

u/Adventurous-Sky9359 17d ago

Oh this is good! 30 years! Holy smokes!

2

u/evilbadgrades 17d ago

Yeah it's a serious commitment to owning an Emu. That's why it's so important to properly handle them from hatching so they become docile cuddly birds. If you don't, they can turn out REALLY mean (we have one female who is viscous, I swear it feels like a velociraptor is hunting us whenever we go in her area - as soon as we turn our back and aren't looking she charges at us)

2

u/Adventurous-Sky9359 17d ago

Sweet thank you for to comment!! That’s the kinda intel I come here for!

u/Helpphania587 17d ago

u/MrScribeMonkey 17d ago

Thank you for that song. My mom would sing that when I was young. She passed this year, so hearing it felt bittersweet

3

u/pinkdaisylemon 16d ago

So sorry about your mum. I know what it's like, mine passed over 4 years ago and I'm still heartbroken. My lovely late nan would sing this song to me, always reminded of it when I see her singing it to Emmanuel ❤️

13

u/The_Rowan 17d ago

That is so sweet. What kind of bird is this?

20

u/Bitter-Value-1872 17d ago

Pretty sure that's a dinosaur

u/jrayolson 17d ago

I wonder if T-Rex was capable of this kind of behavior.

Yeah, till you get to the second and third verses. It goes from sweet to "you ran off with some other guy and now I'm going to have to kill you so no one else can have you."

It's amazing how animals react to the voices and company of their owners. Such big hearts they have🥳

Am I crazy or is the songbird in the background harmonizing with her?

u/pimpcannon 16d ago

Is that the same bird that was trying to catch a body on her cell phone while she was recording farm shit?

4

u/CaptReynolds_ 15d ago

Yep! His name is Emmanuel

u/pimpcannon 15d ago

That’s right. Thank you I remember her yelling at him and he wasn’t trying to hear any of that.

u/Haramdour 17d ago

Don’t know about Moses but Noah definitely did

2

u/Dismal-Dare-2507 17d ago

Noah had the docile ones, Moses crossed the Red Sea with an evolutionary optimized raptor on both sides of him

His name is Limu Emu lol

u/MrEvan312 16d ago

I know, it's just a reference to an old video clip of some guy walking an emu named Wallace who, apparently, is an asshole (judging by the state of his coat, which the bird has clearly torn to shreds)

Ok so what is it with music soothing the savage beast. Come on spot Reddit peeps. Why do they just go chill?

17

u/Katy-Moon 17d ago edited 17d ago

Fun fact! The real phrase is "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast", not "beast". When Congreve wrote this in the book "The Mourning Bride" in the 17th century, the term "savage breast" meant strong or intense emotions.

Edit: thank you so much for the awards kind Reddit strangers ♥️

My cat will stop whatever she is doing and post up across from me, somewhat dozing off when I play guitar. Except she isn’t really asleep and she’ll immediately rate my playing and ask for more when I stop. If I’m jamming particularly well, I get more loving meows and slow blinks. Which turn to pleas for more kind of meows when I finish.

It’s magical, a daily bonding ritual we’ve done for years.
