  • They found preserved melanosomes. It was previously thought these were the remains of bacteria.

    You can find details here, but I highly recommend reading Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World by Michael J. Benton, who was one of the ones doing the research. The book is very fun to read (he's got that typical dry british humour), does a great job of describing the history and current status of paleontology (which is apparently exploding in new discoveries right now) and it has absolutely lovely illustrations, including the one I linked above. And also this anurognathus that is the cutest thing ever:

  • Retard means literally "delayed", ultimately from latin tardus (also see "tardy"), meaning slow. Doesn't seem like it comes from the same suffix.

  • We even have ways to figure out their colouring in some cases now! Like this sinosauropteryx:

  • I want to see a Jurassic Park movie where it's just realistic velociraptors breaking out of captivity and are just mildly annoying. Then the main character gets stomped on by a brachiosaurus.

  • Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you had a problem with it. I just find it incredible just how much sway puritans have in the USA.

  • Newish to Fediverse - do I use one account across all services?

  • When I first joined Lemmy I made accounts on lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee, since I didn't have a solid idea of what instance to pick and wanted to have options. I was using the .world account when posting from a PC (because I liked Alexandrite) and sh.itjust.works on mobile. lemm.ee was a backup, though that whole instance ended up dying...

    As soon as Boost started supporting piefed, I jumped ship and chose quokk.au simply because it's the best name. Same reason I was on sh.itjust.works, really. My original two lemmy accounts are still around, but I don't use them at all nowadays. They could come in handy if I ever need to make a lame joke about clones or bots or sockpuppets though.
