    You got it all wrong, it wasn’t “rule” as in “management” it was “rule” as in “radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*”.

    You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

      If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

      There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

        It’s too bad the Stenograsaurus never reached it’s evolutionary peak, just think of the records we could have had from that time!

        Well they dropped the ‘a’ from the Apt-erodactyl because their daily performance felt phoned in.

    I didn’t know they had a ruler. I thought they were an autonomous collective.

      Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

      You’re fooling yourself. They were living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class dinosaurs…

      They probably didn’t have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn’t invented yet.

      Dinosaurs had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!

        If they had elevators that could handle Brachiosaurus then let the trash burn and pee flow in the streets.

        You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

        I’m not an expert but I know enough to know there’s a lot more out there.

          I think the word you’re looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

          It’s interesting how dinosaurs went from largest animals on land to small creatures we factory farm

            It’s is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.

    Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide

      Once upon a time, there was a mom
      Her name was Mrs. Pteranodon
      Sitting on her nest she heard scratching and said
      “Oh boy, my eggs are hatching”
      One by one her kids popped free
      Baby Pteranadons, one two three
      “I’ll name you Tiny, Shiny, and Don”
      But Tiny said “Wait… what’s that noise?”

      Through the ferns and trees, orange she did spy
      And as she began to focus she made out an eye
      Fixed right on her and her newborn pups
      With her husband out she knew time was up
      With tiny in her beak and shiny clasped up tight
      As fast as she could she took off in flight
      Dawn called out
      “Oh no! Mom please!!”
      Shiny clipped a branch and fell through the trees
      Mrs. T couldn’t hold back her shouts
      She accidentally spit Tiny out
      By then the T Rex was right upon them
      It had made a quick snack out of dawn
      And as it raced towards her other kin
      She whispered to herself “never again”

      “We’ll bring this beast back to our home
      And raise him like one of our own
      teach him tolerance and love
      He’ll be as docile as a dove
      (She is a time Traveller after all)
      He’ll grow into a T-Rex Jesus
      Or T-Rex Hitler if it please us
      We’ll control his destiny
      Now are you against or are you with me?”

      Mr. T look up and sighed
      A single tear fell from his eye
      And he said “No we’ll raise him right
      And treat him well
      His attitude, well time will tell
      But if we can beat nature with nuture
      Then dinosaur truly is the dominant lifeform.”

      “We’re not technically dinosaurs” said Mrs. T

      Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train)
      Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train)
      Shes gonna use (what has she got to lose) The dinosaur train!
