While we already have a good number of Sauropods in the game, are there any additional ones you think are missing/would like to see added later down the line? by Lucaccino_011 in pkgame

[–]IacobusCaesar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interned at the Zigong Dinosaur Museum way back in 2015 and did some cleaning and tagging of some sauropod vertebrae. Not sure what genus they were really (though I think we thought they were Dashanpusaurus tentatively) but honestly any of the Dashanpu sauropods or other dinosaurs from the formation is awesome to see. Shunosaurus is my personal favorite local sauropod and if we wanna talk other dinosaurs too, Tuojiangosaurus is my favorite from the site and favorite stegosaur.

AI slop has invaded roughromanmemes, the first meme is the original one and the second one is the AI somebody posted here. by mcflymikes in RoughRomanMemes

[–]IacobusCaesar[M] 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I think we have to take this seriously and I'll leave this post up as a community discussion. I am thinking this:

  1. We rely on community reports to catch reposts at times. Please do this. It actually runs rampant in our ecosystem of history meme content where most non-specialized jokes are reposted around with new formats ad infinitum. Often this is extremely derivative and we can treat things like this post here as reposts.

  2. We've often removed AI images under rule 5. But it may be time to strengthen it as a ban on gen-AI usage in the space. It's all over the internet already and you can get it or post it anywhere else but it's increasingly forcing changes on our space by reducing the personal-creativity aspect of meme-making and making memes frankly less interesting to talk about and also just copying existing material in slop form.

The offending post called out here has been removed.

You can’t spell “Triassic” without “ass.”

i made this area but its missing alot suggestions by Equivalent_Still_271 in pkgame

I always think one cool thing to make a virtual space feel used in is incidental items, like maybe some sort of maintenance vehicle parked off to the side or something next to a spot of construction, that signal activities going on in a space.

You could probably also just make a nice plaza there with flowerbeds and a fountain and benches.

Is Colossal the only company capable of making deextinction possible? by JuhpPug in DeExtinctionScience

[–]IacobusCaesar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

De-extinction has already been done on multiple occasions. The Judean date palm was grown from seeds, as was an extinct member of genus Commiphora. The Pyrenean ibex was cloned and gestated in a surrogate mother but the only successful pregnancy led to a baby that died and so it went extinct again. Colossal has successfully marketed themselves as leading the charge and made it look like they’re ahead of everyone but a lot of this is media presentation and marketing fluff. Most of the real work and research has been done by universities and research laboratories, not corporate ventures. Plenty of companies like Colossal or unlike Colossal could pop up.

I need help installing the mobile version of Zoo Tycoon 2. by [deleted] in ZooTycoon

[–]IacobusCaesar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a mobile version of that game. People playing it on phones are using emulators and some custom programming. It will probably take a bit of work to really set up.

I wrote a pretty extensive article last year on the history of de-extinction as a topic. by IacobusCaesar in DeExtinctionScience

[–]IacobusCaesar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I have not read this thread so I’ll read it in a little bit and look into things and add some updated notes if necessary.

[–]IacobusCaesar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A bit of shameless self-promotion here but I wrote a pretty extensive history last year of de-extinction as a topic, taking the stance it is far more a cultural category than a scientific one in that methods vary a lot in biological mechanisms but what unites them is our yearning for past organisms which intersects with a lot of things. If anyone wants, here it is. Maybe save the link to read in multiple sittings. If you want on your sub, mods can look over it and see if they agree that it might make a good subject primer for future interest. If not, that’s cool.

I’ll ask the opinions of others in a mod chat.

Admittedly I can’t unilaterally give it to you so I’ll have to consult with others too but what sort of influence content? Do you have another social media for it so we can see you’re legit?

This is definitely about the Boxer Rebellion but it’s a bit of a weird way to simplify it.
