I Hate When I Say Things Like "oh I Want An Ipod Classic But With Bluetooth So I Can Use Wireless Headphones"

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.

NO SOUND

[VD: 6 seconds of sketchy animation of Sun from FNAF:SB.

In the first scene, Sun is posing up on his room's balcony above the ball pit. He crouches, then leaps off of the balcony into a dive.

Second scene is a ball pit. Sun bursts out, making some of the balls bounce away, and shields his eyes, squinting and casting a shadow over his face as he looks around. /End VD.]

A little preview of something I'm working on : ))))

Not pertinent to anything in particular but I do think it's kinda weird that we keep depicting cavemen in media crawling around on all fours covered in dirt with tangled, matted hair, speaking in broken, cobbled-together toddler language when like.

They were us.

Like literally genetically they were US, just like. A while ago.

Would you trust a TV caveman with a baby? Probably not

A real life caveman though??? I think they'd be at least okay at it

They're like handbags your honor
