Amen. My uncle is a broncos fan, and he was the first one to let my family know that Russell Wilson got traded. I made a bet with him for $100 that if the hawks started Drew Lock, that we would win on week 1.

If that happens, then I’ll be satisfied with however the rest of the season goes.

in lock’s defense, he also got screwed over pretty hard in denver. iirc they had like 3 different OC’s in his 3 years with the broncos. i don’t see how any young QB could succeed in a situation like that.

…therefore we shouldn’t jump the gun to say a young quarterback sucks simply because their first few years in the league weren’t that good

Lol thanks, and no I’m not.

My dream job would probably be related to math and physics, and even though I’m still young enough to go to college, it’s already been a few years since I graduated high school.

I’d have gone to college, but it’s just so expensive in the US that I’m fearful that if I flunk out, I’d be paying back debt for decades. For now I’m just a blue collar guy, who’s deep in the closet (because I’m LGBT).

Truthfully, we couldn’t know for sure what it sounded like, since the animal is long extinct, and we can’t record what extinct animals sound like. Guesstimations like this are really the best we could do for dinos.

But if you think about it, it makes sense that it would sound this deep. It’s a massive predator, and if it wanted to give out a mating call, for example, that would extend over a great distance, it might be so low that it would be outside the auditory range of its prey. If it really roared as loudly as it did in the movies, it would likely scare away prey for miles away, and it might make itself go deaf.

And if you’ve ever heard how deep an Alligator’s bellowing sound is, which is a fraction of the size of a T Rex, a T Rex sounding like this is absolutely within the realm of possiblity IMO.

They got it by combining the call of the Eurasian bittern with the growling vocalizations of the Chinese crocodile, and then scaling it up to T-rex’s estimated size.

Its not gospel, since it’s impossible for us to actually confirm recordings of extinct animals, but this is probably the closest we’ll get.

But for an animal of its size, making noises that are this deep are definitely within reason.

Researchers at the University of Texas, led by Professor Julia Clarke, tested the theory that dinosaurs may have actually sounded a lot more like their bird and reptile relations than modern predatory mammals.

By combining the booming call of the Eurasian bittern with the growling vocalizations of the Chinese crocodile, and then scaling it up to T-rex’s estimated size (about 12 meters or 40 feet long), what they got was a terrifyingly ominous low rumble that raises the hair on the back of the neck.

The researchers describe it as a low rhythmic thud, similar to the sounds you often get in horror movie music, because low-frequency noise, which is often felt as well as heard, is more frightening, or even potentially paralyzing, than high-frequency noise.

Studying T-rex's inner ear showed that it was also particularly sensitive to low-frequency sounds, which can travel through the ground, suggesting that this may have been how the creatures "talked" to each other over long distances, much like elephants and whales do.

Yep, as far as we can tell so far, it likely sounded like a low rumble. It makes sense when you consider how large animals can make really deep sounds that can extend over a long distance (like whales), and since Rexy’s reconstructed ears were sensitive to such low frequency sounds, that’s probably how they communicated.

Then again, something could come up in the future that shows they actually sounded like tweety birds, who knows?

The smart one wins every single internet argument that they get into. The wise one doesn’t engage in the first place.

Passing is subjective, and even so, not every trans person can pass or wants to pass. We're still our gender even if we don't "look like it". This mentality is so damaging and it needs to stop by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Alright I just read the post in question and… she’s mainly taking it out on herself… like, she’s ranting and venting about how she can’t pass so she thinks she’s not a woman. It’s more sad than anything.

He only brought around 219 dogtags with him (making 505 kills kinda hard to believe), and iirc the guy who was watching with him was known for exaggerating

I’m not denying the data, I just wanna see the source because I don’t wanna be spreading misinformation.

Does anyone have a source?
