Also stuck in lockdown 3 in a similar position to you, feel free to shoot me a message. Hoping things will improve in 6-9 months time!

I'm in Kent, UK where are you from? Lockdown is really hard. I'm a key worker so still have a little normality. Always here for a chat.
TheJDizzle
This doesn't help right now, but I'm a firm believer in "groups" search for fossil hunting clubs in UK when we get out of this.
TheJDizzle
Not entirely sure why I put that shit in quotes. Finding a group based on interests is a great way to make acquaintances if not friends.

There are loads of us here from the uk stuck in lockdown. I haven’t seen friends since October. Just remember you’re not alone :)

I’m feeling about the same but I’m used to it. Don’t know how to use this app proper but I’m here for you fellow imgurian

Well dinosaurs are awesome and there’s every chance you are too.

Valtrith
My favorite dinosaurs are birds! And snakes, and turtles...
orangatuan
Dinsoaurs aren't just awesome, they're extremely over-the-top awesome and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
turkletoon
Dinosaurs ARE awesome
Noob3rts
@OP - Have you heard of Ark? Ark has dinosaurs and is fucking awesome!
Minchubestchu
My family and I actually clean dinosaur bones for volunteering!
Vorphalack
Has this been figured out yet?
Cyynic
Have you seen Genndy Tartakovsky's 'Primal'? If not you should check it out. Also: big dinosaurs, feathers or not?
diesoz
I feel like the more armored a dino was, the less likely feathers were. A gigantoraptor was almost certainly feathered and quite large.
HulaJesus
Yuri tyrannosaurus paradoxes was feathered and a large dino.
tcdriver
I'm 56 and dinosaurs ? are AWESOME
chevymonster
I'm 53 and have my own flock of miniature dinosaurs.
SignificantDeficiency
I’m in a similar boat @op, Birmingham UK. It can’t get much shittier, right? I hope that’s right. I really fucking do. PM me if you want to
SignificantDeficiency
Chat, I don’t know much about dinosaurs but perhaps you can change that lol
theganglecreature
Same dude. Where your from?
RetroHomeslice
I like in the UK, where are you from?
theganglecreature
United states, Michigan. Do they have a day your lockdown is done?
RetroHomeslice
No word on an end date yet, we have a suspicion it’s going to last until summer though
theganglecreature
They keep extending ours. My work may open up this weekend but idk. You still working?
LenfantSauvage86
play Ark with some new friends
RetroHomeslice
That’s not a bad idea, I used to play on Pc when it came out in beta
LenfantSauvage86
Right on. A lot has changed since then
RetroHomeslice
There are new maps now aren’t there? Did I even see a trailer for Ark 2 with vin diesel?
LenfantSauvage86
yea the best 2 maps in my book are ragnarok and crystal isles. oh and i have no idea why Vin has anything to do with Ark 2. weird.
lthead
There are lots of new maps many of them free, find a good private server where gathering/breeding/taming are multiplied so it's not a grind
fiej
Ragnarok bestest map ever.. also check mods.. there are plenty good mods out there
TempAgency
They updated the harvest to be 2x what it once was so it’s less of a grind. Official servers have the benefit of trading breeding programs
gareththeworm
Lockdown sucks. I live alone in U.K. too, far away from my family and have only seen one person I know face to face in the last 3 weeks

It's been 2 months for me, apart from saying hi to the neighbors in passing. Hang in there

Serious question here that i could probably google and fall down a v time-consuming rabbit hole buttt were dinos actually as hairless?
Twyll
Depends on the dino. Generally, later ones had feathers, earlier ones didn't.
Muunk
Feathers
JustFeedMePieDammit
Probably not, and probably not as skinny
mjangelvortex
The paleo-community likes to call that "skin-wrapping". Animals have muscle and fat on them, so why draw extinct animals without 'em?
teakasaurus
It wouldn’t be hair, it’d be feathers.
LegosBearsAndSex
Just finished reading a bird biology book...probably a form of hair that evolved into feathers, like modified feathers. Quite interesting :)
teakasaurus
My guess is it was a primitive less structured feather like down or ostrich feathers, less like the structured feathers on most birds today?
teakasaurus
Hmm, in biology we tend to make a big distinction in hair being a mammalian trait.. I believe the similarities would be convergent evolution
LegosBearsAndSex
Yes, exactly. A modified 'hair,' or hair-like. The book discussed just that, convergent evolution. But it did propose dinosaurs/early 1/2

I found out recently that pterodactyls are not dinosaurs
melmboundanddown
I have a picture book that begs to differ
jokexplainer
Yea I felt violated and cheated when I learned the truth
mjangelvortex
Nope. They're pterosaurs. Completely different (but still cool) group of animals.
debugaddict
Do you have a favorite? Mine's the triceratops!
Lessthanonemillionthofreality
Suchomimus!
HappyDudeAt742EvergreenTerrace
I like plesiosaurus and ankylosaurus. But i also dont really know any other dinosaurs, except Dinah Soar of the Great Lakes Avengers
MrBadandugly
Therizinosaurus always the best
outlier2379
Yass! How did they even go from carnivore to herbivore? So cool!!
Tak231
Hell yea! Murder turkeys for the win!

My favorite dinosaur is the raven.

All dinos are good, but. Anklyosaurus ftw. Dude was a walking tank with a bludgeon tail. That's badass
Duros62
This is a question my former manager asks all job candidates.

Id imagine it weeds out a lot of assholes with no personality.
Duros62
It does indeed.
murderdactyl
Mine is a hederodontosaurus! Dope little handed digger dudes
understandable
I loved triceratops too!
beckerkim1958
I'm a suchomimus person myself, ever since the Jurassic Park warpath game, I thought it was so cool
Mikeythefireman
The ceratopsian are fascinating. They once misclassified a juvie and adult because they didn’t realize the frills develop holes with age.
nickoftime90
I like that one and Ankylosaurus
Beach3000
Check this one out. I was blown away by the size of it skeleton, pretty amazing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giganotosaurus
kholli
I loved when these were in one of the Dinotopia books. I think I still have my hardbacks somewhere.
Rayfasa
Triceratops is dope, he’s all like, get up off me bro. I really like the Ankylosaurus too, that would be my if a dinosaur, short and wide
jlurosa
one thing I love is that I love a dinosaur that for sure was not like they present it to us, we love the shape an artist made, but
jlurosa
Have no idea how they really were
aslanlives
Right!?! I love those side-by-sides of dogs, groundhogs, dolphins etc that show them "dinosaurized". Could be all wrong. Fascinating!
HulaJesus
We get closer over time with more and more to study. Such as t rex no longer drags it tail an raptors have feathers.
mjangelvortex
We do have a fair idea what some species have looked like, even down to their color. Like Sinosauropteryx and Microraptor.
HulaJesus
I didn't know we had color down. That's amazing
pocacoconut
It wasn’t until this very moment I realized that in Land Before Time ‘Sarah’ is actually spelled “Cera” which is short for triceratops
aslanlives
+10 because elephants appear to be related to them, and I love me some elephants (shout-out to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust!)
hoistedbymyownpetard
Albertosaurus! ( Canadian, sorry.)

Liopleurodon is so cool and my fave since childhood! (Though not technically a dinosaur.) And adult me also loves ?.

Came here to ask this. Parasaurolophos Walkerie for me.
kurastwolf
Parasaurlophus, hell yea.
LacklusterMop
Same!
HulaJesus
Woot woot.
LateNightBunnyParty
That's my fave too! I've got a half-sleeve tattoo on my right arm of a Parasaurolophus family.
HulaJesus
Now that's some serious dino love. What style is it done in?
LateNightBunnyParty
This was right after one of the sessions but before the ammonites were done.
HulaJesus
That is absolutely amazing.
LateNightBunnyParty
Here it is after the ammonites were added, but it's a pretty crappy picture. Looks all faded.
agonarch
Do you think they quacked?
LateNightBunnyParty
No, they honked. Or hooted. They sounded like a weird brass horn, anyway.
HulaJesus
I do not. I think they sounded like a trombone and tuba had terrible love child. Based off the hollow chambers in the crest.
agonarch
Oh crap that thing was hollow? Has anyone tried making a replica and putting air through it?
HulaJesus

Ive always liked the triceratops! Defo top three! I would say the allosaurus!
imostlymadethisup
Lol! I wuz gonna say Allosaurus. I also like the Thesaurus.
GamerAimes
Interesting choice. Mine is Spinosaurus.
Lewynsa
Spinosaurus is the bomb! I always had a zoo full of them on Zoo Tycoon.

Omg, you read my mind. Triceratops for fav herbivore and allosaurus for fav carnivore

Probably b/c I had a really neat allosaurus model as a kid

Mines the dieonichus or like I call it fluffy raptor. Also get the game ark I met a lot of good friends playing pave servers

Second on Ark. As someone who loved dinos as a kid and grew up during the first Pokemon surge, Ark scratches that itch for collecting dinos.

Oh mate! I broke my ankle last year & came off crutches same day as the 1st lockdown. It’s really shitty & tough going esp with all this 1/2

Business going on. I know I felt really isolated & it took its toll. Stay safe & chin up x 2/2

Thanks! That’s very kind. It’s been a bit of an ordeal the last couple of days.

I can imagine! Do you have a good story to go with the injury? Mine was rubbish, I fell down the stairs completely sober. Zero anecdote.

I think it’s pretty good! Slipped on an icy road in the hills where I live, was alone, screamed from pain and for my colleague for 30 mins

You seem to have a wildly different understanding of "lockdown"

People are partying and getting close, I'm talking about shit like disc golf and go Karting, social but distant.

All businesses apart from essential stores such as food stores and diy stores are closed unfortunately.
psych0bunneh
Well they're a Texan, as am I, and our "lockdowns" were never lockdowns. They just threatened to fine some businesses for staying open.

Im from TX but currently live in RI, and I have been so glad not to be home this past year because it sounds like a hot mess

Eventually they gave businesses permission to have cops remove "trespassers" with no mask. Of course you had to get the cops to respond.

It's very similar to Slack and Microsoft Teams if you've ever had to use those for work.

It's basically an app on pc/mobile for gamers to connect but it has evolved beyond that into more different communities as well.
