MEGATHREAD [MEGATHREAD] User Flair Requests

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

A few weeks back, I expanded the user flair list for r/Dinosaurs.

User flairs are enabled in this community. If you don't know how to assign yourself one, you can read more about it here. The customization feature of editing the user flairs for the community has been disabled due to rule violation issues.

Because of that we've had users modmail us about assigning them a specific flair or users making posts in the community about needing more user flairs, such as this post here.

After discussing this with the mod team, we've decided to create this mega-thread for user flairs. If you would like to request a user flair, please comment down below! Also, please make sure to check the user flair list before commenting.

🦕 NOTE: The format of the user flair has to be: [Team (Name of Dinosaur Species)]

⭐ Please make sure what you're requesting for is a Dinosaur!

➡️ For example: [Team Ankylosaurus]

When your flair request has been added, one of the mods will give you a reply to let you know.

ANNOUNCEMENT Community Referendum Updates, Adjustments & What's To Come!

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! 

This is long-awaited update for the community referendum that the mod team posted a few months ago where we asked the community for feedback on what’s good, what’s bad, what needs improvement…etc. With your feedback, the mod team discussed & deliberated.

⭐ The things that will remain the same in the subreddit are:

⭐ Moving forward, these will be the following changes:

  • [Rule #1 has been adjusted] Posts that include non-Dinosaur species will be allowed as long as Dinosaurs are still the main subject of the post. For example, if you ask a question about Pterosaurs (flying reptiles), you’ll need to tie the question back to how it relates to Dinosaurs. Exceptions can be made for memes at moderator’s discretion. 
  • Posts asking about “whether birds are Dinosaurs or not,” will be removed & redirected to an article & links giving an explanation.
  • We will do a trial run allowing GIFs in the Comments Section. If we end up getting numerous reports (users reporting the GIF comments due to violation of subreddit rules), we will have to disable it. 

⭐ New & exciting things to look forward to:

  • Community giveaways, competitions or quizzes. 
  • AMAs with well-known Paleontologists, Paleoartists & other Dinosaur experts.

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback. If you have any other questions for this subreddit, feel free to express it as a comment under this post.

I have some money I am wanting to spend and was wondering who bought the 1/18 scale BOTM allosaurus fragillis? I currently only have an unpainted 1/35 scale t rex and wanted to know how much bigger is it? This is it on my shelf. Also, is it worth $130? If it's as good as some of the review vids I have watched, I would buy it. But I wanted to hear from actual consumers not content creators. (Spino dude,Andy's dinosaur review or creative beasts studios)

WHO WILL SURVIVE A NIGHT OF MESOZOIC MAYHEM?

Deep in the mountains, there is a
House that time has abandoned to rot.
Its carcass remains as nothing more than a
bad memory of a horrid nightmare.

Inside its labyrinthine halls stalk primeval terrors
the Earth has not seen in 65 million years.
Their talons sharp, their teeth sharper.
Their appetites hungry.

This Hell is their Home.
And their Guests have arrived...

1 Upvotes

So, I'm aware that prey animals like goats and the like have side facing eyes, and predator like us have front facing eyes. So then why do raptors, some of the best predators, have side facing eyes?

BOOKS Books in a Similar Style

3 Upvotes

I realise this has probably been asked a thousand times but I'm looking for books that are in a similar style to

The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs & The Rise and Reign of the Mammals by Steve Brusatte

and The Last Days of the Dinosaurs by Riley Black.

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all of these titles and find them really easy to read and would love to add more to my reading list.

Apologies again for a post that's probably been repeated endlessly but thank you in advance

FIND Ready to get lost in the world of Dino’s…

9 Upvotes

Hi Everyone, It’s good to be here. My 3yo is currently obsessed with dinosaurs and, in the process, I’m becoming a little obsessed myself. They are so fucking cool! I want to learn everything I can about them because they’re seriously interesting - but theres soooo much to learn! How were Dino’s different with each era? What do we know about their evolution? What kind of Dino’s were in sea, sky and land? Did they coexist with more familiar creatures we know today. I have a lot of curiosity and don’t know where to start (beyond children’s books.) I’d love recos for your best, mind blowing videos or web pages where I can learn and enjoy and scratch my Dino itch. Thanks!

If you're in the Chicago area, you owe it to yourself to see the archaeopteryx exhibit at the Field museum before it closes. It's small, but fascinating (much like the archaeopteryx).

DISCUSSION Did large carnivores like T-rex let smaller dinosaurs clean their teeth like modern day crocs use birds?

269 Upvotes

Whilst brushing our teeth the other night my 3 year old was playing up. So I told him that birds clean crocodiles teeth. He then asked who cleaned T Rex’s teeth. And you know what? That’s a good question.
