Here’s one good thing to come out of 2020:

Paleontologists completed a life-sized replica of Sue, the most complete T. Rex ever found.

And she is freaking GORGEOUS!

As I read more about this beauty, I found out some new details regarding things I thought I previously knew about the beast that was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I’m going to share them with you.

First, and most obvious, her size:

Here’s One Good Thing To Come Out Of 2020:

This is nothing new, we all figured T. Rex was big, but I for one never stopped to consider exactly how big it was. Nobody ever really knows what to imagine when they read about something the size of a whale that walked around and ate everything it could kill. 

Speaking of eating things, I just want to remind you all that T. Rex had–by miles–the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal living or dead, somewhere around six and a half tons of force. That’s over six times greater than the current estimate of what Allosaurus was capable of, and three times what was delivered by the highest measured reading of the living title holder–the estuarine crocodile. It didn’t have to waste time swinging its head open-mouthed like Saurophaganax for a little extra oomph, or grow fancy serrated teeth like Carcharodontosaurus to cut pieces out of its prey. It opted for the simplest approach: get its mouth around something and crush it to death; imagine the full weight of an elephant on whatever was between this thing’s jaws.

“How did it find something to eat?” I hear you asking. “It can’t see something if it doesn’t move, right?”

Listen, I love Jurassic Park too, but that’s a big crock of shit.

Here’s One Good Thing To Come Out Of 2020:

Notice how both her eyes face forward. That gives her binocular vision (the ability to focus both eyes on one target, like you and I). More importantly it means she has impeccable depth perception due to overlapping fields of vision from each, large, eyeball. Researchers agree that T. Rex not only had incredible vision, but that it was probably better than most modern animals–including eagles, hawks, and owls–and that she could likely spot something three and a half miles away. If something that big can see that well, it doesn’t matter if you move or not, she’d be able to tell if it was an animal trying to hide or a piece of vegetation. So pray she isn’t hungry if she lays eyes on you. And even if by some miracle she didn’t see you, she’d still smell you. 

If she decided you looked tasty, you probably wouldn’t hear her coming as much as you’d feel her. Modern science indicates that T. Rex didn’t roar like in Jurassic Park, but rather bellowed or maybe even hissed like crocodilians. If she were on to you, you’d most likely feel this sense of unease creep up your spine as a low-pitched rumble in the air permeated through you. You wouldn’t know what it was or where it was coming from until you hear her footfalls. By then it’s too late–you could try to run but she’d probably catch you. There’s plenty on YouTube that reconstructs what T. Rex may have sounded like, and it’s legitimately haunting.  

To wrap all of this up, the one bit of good that came out of the cursed year that is 2020 is that this wonderful child of science and art came into the world, and reaffirmed my respect and admiration for the eight ton slab of muscle and teeth that is this magnificent creature.

Here’s One Good Thing To Come Out Of 2020:

…and it is nothing if not magnificent.

The lighting effects on the clothing look so good 😳❤

After rewatching Joker tonight I have tried to pay attention to everything important noted by the clown fandom

And I am now 100 % sure Arthur was wanking off before the Murray Show call and nothing will convince me otherwise and I'll fight to death for this

It sucks. Only last year or so I've learned about this and how it's common among people with autism. I tend to feel bad and unproductive for struggling to start something.

Wish they would include this dubbed in the respective language on the DVDs.

Guys I made a Discord account just for this and I don't regret ANYTHING

Okay so

The Joker fandom means a lot to me now, it has helped me make new friends so I thought maybe I’d make a discord server since Tumblr does not have a group chat feature? It could be Joaquin Phoenix in general or purely about Joker? I think it’d be cool and we could have movie nights and stuff so yup. I just want everyone’s thoughts and opinions about it.

Same here. Since I was a kid I imagined my favs to get happier and more confident. It's really heartwarming.

I nearly cried at work today so I went out back, shut my eyes and thought of how strong, kind and good Arthur is. I thought of Joker and his smile and the following mental images and daydreams from those thoughts kept me from crying. If Arthur can make it through a day, so can I. I hope he’d be proud of me.
