    People say reptiles are tastier than chicken, the thing is chicken is mass produced at an industrial level, most of the reptiles are wild caught, maybe we should compare them to wild chicken or game bird, instead of store bought chicken, also it would differ wildly depending on type of dinosaur, it was a very diverse group

    Based on illustrated stories I was fed as a child, I would now like to know if the early Christians ate the dinosaurs after they were finished riding them.

    it would depend on the kind of dinosaur, the ones with feathers would probably taste like low-fat/high-muscle turkey meat, while the water dinosaurs probably just tasted like red fish meat. I can’t really tell what the lizard likes would’ve tasted, my best guess is somewhere between gator and komodo dragon.

    I assume like an alligator or crocodile. Probably depends if it’s a carnivore or herbivore too

    Maybe y’all need to consider, isn’t it strange to fantasize about bringing extinct (potentially) sentient beings back into existence for the sole purpose of killing them again and carving up their body parts for sensory pleasure?

      I was first imagining being in the same era and happening upon one as one would a deer in the words.

      You first imagined cruelty and elitism. Why it’s that?

        Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur’s own time?

          I’ll rephrase.

          My first thought was a survival scenario.

          Your first thought was selfish evil.

          Why was that, I wondered?

          My point is that your world view was to interpret it as a negative first. Not a comical musing. Angsty.

      The Human experience is pretty weird. Being reductive about just about anything we do ends up sounding like a horror show.

      I remember my high school teacher once said he’d want to try a Dodo Bird if it can be brought back to life lol
