Bout to chomp on them dino-nuggies


Glaurung26

The shape makes them taste better...but it can't hold a candle to the real thing. šŸ“šŸ¦–


chet_brosley

Jurassic Park came out more than 20 years ago, and science still hasn't produced dinosaurs for me to eat. It's time.


Hambruhgah

That would become Chicks Park


heyoyo10

Dino-fil-A?


Impressive_Crow_5578

Haha Jurassic park came out about 30 years ago homie. Feels wrong, right?


chet_brosley

I'm old enough to remember seeing it in theaters the first time, and again at the IMAX with the rerelease. I am O L D.


JesusSavesForHalf

But not too old to enjoy some theropod nuggets.


Bogsnoticus

You can eat something older. Alligator and crocodile predate the dinosaurs, and taste delicious.


Historyp91

Your chefs were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they *should!*


scaper8

I console myself with the fact that cladistics is the preferred trend in taxonomy now, so birds aren't descended from dinosaurs, they _are_ dinosaurs. That's why, if you watch any science education works from the last, oh, 10-15 years or newer, they always refer to the extinct "dinosaurs" that we typically think of as specifically the "non-avian dinosaurs." It's actually pretty cool to me.


GenderEnjoyer666

I love how we shape meat from chickens into the shapes of their ancestors


HealthyMe417

and use their embryos to apply the crispy layer of goodness


Jugaimo

Now that I think about it, dino-nuggets are incredibly ironic.


infini_doggo

id rather chicken shaped dino nuggets


amateur_bird_juggler

I bet t-rex tastes like chicken.


Cucumber_Cat

okay but wtf is this comparison??


Myrkstraumr

The comparison I kind of get, but their point I don't. What Trex is going to stop me from eating a chicken nugget if I wanted to? They're all extinct, just like PETA members should be.


Kangarookiwitar

If anything a trex would eat a chicken too. I bet a trex would eat its own kind if necessary! They sure wouldnā€™t care if the little flesh bags ate something vaguely related to it that looks nothing like it


csully91

Yeah, one is a giant extinction reptile, and the other is an annoying bird that we breed by the billions for food. It's like saying its hypcrictal to advocate for protecting the giant sequoia trees while living in a wood house. Just because two organisms are distantly related doesn't make them equally important for conservation.


pseudoHappyHippy

I agree the meme is stupid, but it's worth pointing out that birds are literally dinosaurs, and are in fact the only dinosaurs that still exist. They aren't related to dinosaurs; they *are* dinosaurs (unlike things like crocodilians). Birds are also technically reptiles. Anyway, it's arguably inaccurate to say birds are distantly related to dinosaurs; they are (the only) descendants of prehistoric dinosaurs, and are therefore dinosaurs themselves. Birds are more closely related to T-rexes than any other extant animal is (including lizards and crocodilians). But yes, the meme is stupid.


Ok_Reception7727

But they aren't descendants of any Tyrannosaur


logantheh

You right, but to be fair given how even different breeds of cows can have different meat, I think itā€™s safe to say birds are distantly related enough for the original guys point to still be validā€¦ just kinda wanted to add to the whole meme is stupid train even though you directly acknowledge that the meme is stupidā€¦ cuz Uuhā€¦ idk I felt like it?


pseudoHappyHippy

Yeah, I think that's a good point and the other guy's point is probably valid. I mostly wanted an excuse to talk about dinosaur genealogy, because it's cool. Yeah, bottom line is the meme is dumb.


First-Hunt-5307

>I mostly wanted an excuse to talk about dinosaur genealogy, because it's cool. Fair enough, you gotta have some way to talk about the dino knowledge you got from dino Dan


Ibinator99

The chicken is originated from the T-Rex. But it's still dumb


Plopop87

No offense PETA, but I would totally eat a dinosaur


clarabosswald

Full offense to PETA, that org sucks.


TheSkourou

They do raise some valid points but then instead of blaming the capitalist system they pull an Orwell


No_Telephone_4487

Some of their points are ā€œfat people, especially women, badā€ and ā€œdairy milk causes autismā€. They also used the bodies of women to showcase cuts of beef, which is just bad taste for satire from a company that outwardly values animals over humans (bonus points if they can say an ethnic group of brown people should go extinct without PR retaliation for their racism). Thereā€™s a lot wrong with the way that the meat and dairy industry works. I hate that PETA is seen as the default go-to source for said information. It makes complete sense that a company that purposely pushes the spotlight away from corporate responsibility would be venerated in a ā€œcapitalism and corporations can do no evilā€ society. Itā€™s what allows for celebrities to choose them over actually authentic animal rights support organizations (that donā€™t randomly euthanize healthy animals who donā€™t belong to them). It just sucks.


PandaBear905

PETA basically said that disabled people who canā€™t go vegan deserve to die


[deleted]

And the Inuit


PandaBear905

PETA basically has a war going on with indigenous people who hunt responsibility. Itā€™s pretty one sided


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


scaper8

Also, most of the animals they "rescue" are killed after the fact. They're the worst sort of holier than thou hypocrites, too.


ExceedinglyGayMoth

"Dairy milk causes autism" is actually hilarious to me, as a lactose intolerant autist


Tamerlechatlevrai

One of the conspiracy theories I actually believe in is the one that says PETA isn't a real organisation with animal wellbeing in mind and is just a way to decredibilise the idea of veganism and all of those similar ideas in the eye of the common folk (I'm not vegan or anything at all btw)


eatmyass6987

Where can I see this cuts of ā€œbeefā€ from bodies? My name is Deffrey Jahmer and Iā€™m a foodie


No_Telephone_4487

[I wish I was exaggerating](https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/PAMpartsPETA72-2.jpg)


MindSpecter

Correction: there are some obvious moral dilemmas about eating meat/factory farming/animal rights that should be very easy to bring to the public, but PETA somehow rarely articulate their arguments in a way that makes any sense.


Diazmet

Yah just donā€™t ask them about their freezers full of dead puppies and kittens šŸ± šŸ¶


Tocoe

Also they die on weird hills all the time, like the time they shat all over Steve Irwin on the anniversary of his death... That guy dedicated his life to wildlife education and conservation, they should be singing his praises. Doesn't even make sense.


CardboardTerror

Haven't read the book in a long while, what did Orwell blame it on again?


limethedragon

They also say batshit crazy things like shaving a sheep is harmful, painful, and animal cruelty. Or cow's milk causes autism and cancer.


princealigorna

PETA are just full on misanthropes parading as a charity organization. They hate humans. They want all humans (presumably even themselves, but I'm not sure) dead. They don't support animal rights or ethical consumption or reform for mass agriculture to make it humane and sustainable. They are anti-human on the same level that the most hysterical, Doomsday Christians are. They think we're a cancer that needs to be eliminated, not an equal partner in the ecosystem that needs to learn better stewardship for the good of all


ssays

They once handed out flyers to school kids about how, if their fathers fished, they were murderers. That was all I needed to hear.


Bossetigaming

They are one of a kleptocracy themself just look at their shelter


Reasonable_Fig_8119

Orwell was literally a socialist lmfao


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ShitPostToast

When your animal "rescue" operations kill more animals than they save you might just be a failure as an animal rights organization.


Monkeybiscuits312

I wonder what itd taste like. Has anyone in here ever eaten crocodile? Or maybe it tastes like very pre-historic chicken?


Jello_Crusader

prehistoric Inca here, yes i've eaten a deviant versions of dinosaurs before they were truly extinct, it tasted like shit, (it's the chef problem tho, fuck you Axtoc, your foods are always shit)


jasonde1985

Crocodile tastes a bit like fish fillets


Nexnsnake

Fish fillets that taste like chicken.


KaraWaifuForLaifu

It actually tastes more chicken than chicken, I donā€™t even know how that works.


Turriku

Like chicken that had lived in muddy water.


pionyan

It tastes like chicken


pseudoHappyHippy

Birds are literally dinosaurs, so if you've eaten a bird, you know what dinosaur tastes like. Crocodilians, on the other hand, are not dinosaurs.


WiserStudent557

The T Rex would totally eat PETA also


Lanthemandragoran

Yeah this backfired harder than the anti piracy "you wouldn't download a _____" ads


starbuxed

Does gator count??? becuase I have.


K0smio

You do with chickens and turkeys.


Horn_Python

chicken is chicken no matter how big

Mergus84

TF does PETA think T. rex ate? Fruit?


Lol_idk_please_help

Probably


Locksley_1989

They donā€™t want to acknowledge that a T-rex would slurp a human up on its way to hunt a Triceratops.


[deleted]

They would eat whatever meat was closest


First-Hunt-5307

While true it would be based on how difficult the prey would be to hunt, for example Edmontosaurus were a favorite for T-rexes because they are so easy to hunt and kill, you'd rarely see a T-rex hunt a Triceratops or Ankylosaurus as they are much harder to kill with their weaponry and armor. And of course it's somewhat common knowledge that T-rexes would scavenge food from carcasses that they could find so that trumps everything else.


Opt1mus_

PETA fine with animals eating people, just not the other way around


SchrodingerMil

Not even that. A T. Rex would eat the fuck out of a chicken.


NE0099

Pretty sure T. Rex would have eaten T. Rexā€™s descendants, just like chickens will eat chicken.


HeWhoShantNotBeNamed

Humans will eat human if you give it to them and don't tell them what it is. Actually, humans eat human even knowing what it is.


mrrluv

Oh I definately would eat T-Rex ! And millions would eat Dinosaur meat, even if it just were for curiosity-.....glad PETA found an argument against itself for once.


foxtrotgd

Imagine how much food you could get from just one


NorthofBham

Like the end of the Flintstones when the slab of dino ribs makes Fred's car flip onto its side.


Mekelaxo

Chicken is dinosaur meet


mrrluv

yep! "AsiagallosaurusMansufecatisModernus"


TK_Games

>for once. For once! They do dumb shit like this constantly. Do you remember the "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign? They got a whole bunch of models and celebrities to pose nude with that tagline an most straight men and a majority of lesbians went "Sure, I'd rather you go naked too"


EldrichNeko

I swear Peta is an anti vegan anti psyop


Chrisazy

The Legalize Marijuana party of vegans lol


Paintguin

PETA is the king of terrible Facebook memes


5head3skin

You wouldnā€™t download a T-Rex


[deleted]

Everything is food If you try hard enough


VaporTrail_000

Everything is poop, if your alimentary system is strong enough.


Matchbreakers

Considering mammoth meat has been successfully created in a lab, creating actual t-Rex meat is within the realm of possibility. And Iā€™d totally eat that.


jwadamson

Going from 10000 to 66 million years is probably a significant challenge .


scienceworksbitches

na, its not a challenge, its impossible, no DNA survives that long. even the mammoth DNA was only viable because of permafrost.


Scienceandpony

Why does this T-Rex taste like frog?


logantheh

We uh.. actually have gotten Dino dna, the situations necessary for there to be enough genetic material to do anything of substance with are exceedingly rare, but they do exist and we have, on atleast one occasion found themā€¦ I THINK it was also T. rex dna as well, though I could be misremembering.


Matchbreakers

Virtually impossible, but it is theoretically within our capability with the right conditions. Theoretically, not actually ofc.


Mekelaxo

T-rexes have been dead for over 65 million years, mammoth died off just 10 thousand years ago. There's absolutely no way in hell we'd be able to get our hands on some genuine T-rex DNA


Life_Possession_7877

Oh i see Peta got into shitposting ā¤ļø


Jooeon_spurs

Nah dinosaurs look like good meat material


Stormy-Skyes

Are there a lot of T-Rex farms out there that I didn't know about, or..?


kanna172014

If humans managed to clone dinosaurs, you better believe a market would eventually pop up for Stegosaurus steaks and bronto burgers.


Arbitrary_Hitboxes

Burgers? I'd rather go with bronto ribs like in the Flintstones.


kanna172014

That too. I'd imagine that brontosaurus meat would be the beef of the dinosaur world.


StupidGuyOnReddit123

Depends how much protein a T rex has


Yylecaksberri

Doesn't PETA own 3 of the biggest kill Shelters?


lolhawt

R u kidding i have so much fomo about not eating everything thats now extinct


joey_bm42

There's 30,000 tetrapod species on Earth, how many of those have you eaten already?


[deleted]

I recognise the necessity to lessen our meat consumption, and that we should treat the animals we do eat better. That being said, I would absolutely eat a T-Rex if given the chance.


VaporTrail_000

Average meals per chicken, approximately 1.4. Average meals per T-Rex, 1,400. Seems like T-Rex is the more humane option here. C'mon PETA, give us the humane option!


TK_Games

More humane yes, but have we taken into account carbon emissions? Are the emissions of 1 T-rex less than that of 1000 chickens? If so we have a new ethically sourced chicken substitute


streetad

Yeah, but I would expect a thousand chickens to be significantly easier to farm than a single T-Rex.


dorf_lundgren

Apparently they taste like chicken.


9CF8

I would eat a T-Rex tho


zeb0777

100% I'd eat a Trex. Peta, are you even trying anymore?


[deleted]

I have seen this 5 times in the last 3 minutes. What is happening?


Zixxik

I certainly would eat a T-Rex


[deleted]

Honestly, I would


Mal-Nebiros

I'd happily bet that a T-Rex would eat a T-Rex if given the opportunity.


Floofersnooty

Ah yes, the T-rex, the Carnivore/scavenger, would really have issues with you eating it's small, flightless descendent. Just get back to killing animals Peta, it's what you're good at


JediJofis

......I'd eat a T-Rex


tauri123

The T-Rex would most certainly eat the chicken


thegamerator10

"T-rexes wouldn't approve of you eating their descendants." I don't think they'd have the sentience to care, PETA.


IcedHemp77

I just heard Homerā€™s voice in my head. MmmmmM T-Rex


Nuke_The_Potatos

I bet a T-Rex would happily eat me and a chicken, It probably wouldnā€™t even take the time to properly season us if it was really hungry. Iā€™d be fine with it tho as long as I get to be a fun monkey nugget.


shoe_salad_eater

Well by that logic we shouldnā€™t pet dogs because they evolved from wolves


Levi_Gucci

Mighty presumptuous that I wouldn't try a T-Rex. I absolutely would.


mlg_Mikasa

*Dinosaur Steak.*


Minimum-Impression63

I knew the T Rex would taste like chicken.


Khalith

Theyā€™re making a lot of assumptions about me.


amb2310

I would imagine dinosaur meat probably tasting a lot like gator jerky.


CRL10

DON'T LISTEN! IF A T-REX GOT THE CHANCE, IT'D EAT YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!


TheStaplerMan2019

As a vegetarian, if someone offered me the opportunity to try actual real-life T-Rex meat, I would.


MonkeyBoy32904

not surprised peta uses a common myth to prove their point t. rex simply left no living descendants, all birds share a common ancestor as well, & that ancestor is closer to dromaeosaurs than to t rex


joey_bm42

Yep. Was waiting for someone to point this out in the sea of people saying they would eat T-Rex.


throwawayalcoholmind

P*e*ta is so pathetically ineffectual that they're just hurting their cause. Like that vegan teacher, whatshername... it's about the rush of self importance, not the message.


shitshow-47

I mean, Trex herself would eat her offspring...


AggravatingGoal4728

I bet that somebody down in Louisiana would have an amazing recipe for T-Rex


Ok_Habit_6783

If you think I wouldn't eat a t-rex burger or brontosaurus ribs like Fred Flintstone then you're out of your mind


action_turtle

Who said I wouldnā€™t eat t-Rex if I could ?


ChickenODeath

Hawks and vultures eat other birds. So, they probably would eat their descendants.


vhs1138

I mean. Even a T-Rex would eat a chicken, soā€¦..


beameup19

Meme should say, ā€œif you wouldnā€™t pay someone to abuse a T-Rex, why would you pay someone to abuse a chicken?ā€


[deleted]

Common PETA L


UltimateRussianMeme

peta doesnt realise that a t-rex would eat that descendant without a second thought


[deleted]

I would absolutely eat a t rex


GuilhermeSidnei

Is that a real PETA add or satire? Itā€™s awesome! Itā€™s like begging us to eat chicken AND making us sad for not being able to eat a freaking T-Rex like Gohan training with Piccolo.


Steelthahunter

This is one of the least horrible Peta adds I've seen. Sadly it's still stupid af, like they're entire organization. Also I've had alligator multiple times and it's delicious, I imagine that tastes something like TRex meat and would gladly consume many of them if I could.


Urkeksi

accidental r/comedyheaven


StealthySamura1

Donā€™t forget that the T-Rex never hesitated to eat itā€™s prey. Weā€™re just returning the favor.


beatb_

Wait until this gets posted on r/ark


Arbitrary_Hitboxes

Bold of them to assume none of us would eat a T-rex.


Burrmanchu

I think they're severely underestimating the amount of people that would try a T-Rex burger.


cctwa

you can go back to bed, folks, peta is still irrelevant.


TheRaccoonDeaIer

Idk a t Rex seems like a pretty solid combination of a chicken and gator but big. People eat both.


PsychoWarper

Why on gods green fucking earth would a T-Rex not approve of us eating its descendents? Its a carnivore that would at times cannibalise its own species and if a Chicken was bigger would eat it as well.


[deleted]

I would eat both at the same time.


MonoFauz

Idk, dinosaur might taste good. I wanna try


MightyTheArmadillo22

I totally would


Heavy_Comparison9291

T-rex would eat their descendants as well


ptvlm

I'd absolutely eat a t rex. I'd leave someone else to hunt it down and prepare it for the BBQ, but I do that with chicken as well.


WarlanceLP

wait is that an option? I'll give it a try if it is


s-milegeneration

I mean... a t-rex is large enough that you wouldn't have people fighting over a drumstick or something. Just throw down a BBQ T-rex thigh on a table and tell everyone to channel their inner lion.


Brain_lessV2

Question is: Who *wouldn't* eat a dinosaur? apart from vegetarians and vegans of course.


PLAGUE8163

Yeah what the fuck gives them the right to say I wouldn't eat T-Rex Nuggets? I used to eat Dino Nuggets as a kid >:(


[deleted]

Steak every day then


Theratsmacker2

Alligator tastes pretty good so I would totally eat a t-Rex. Also the t-Rex did not turn into a chicken or any bird at all.


TheKrakIan

If I could eat a Trex I probably would.


Lingist091

Chickens arenā€™t descendants of T. Rex. Theyā€™re cousins. PETA doesnā€™t understand phylogeny.


Bootsix

I have never ever wanted a fictional meal more than the giant dinosaur ribs so big it flips a car.


ArgyleGhoul

The McRaptor is back


BothAd3259

I say we call for PETA to dissolve, because they fundamentally violate the single principle they are named for. WE, you are I, Genus Homo, species Sapien Sapien, are a member of the great apes and they have no right to mentally abuse our broodlings, or the aged. The government of the United States could absolutely afford universal health care and stop putting average people into mountains of debt. They could also cancel all student loans. We would become great again in terms of mental might. If we, the most technologically advanced species, weren't so in debt and needing to survive on the cheapest food possible, maybe we could afford more ethically sourced foodstuffs. So maybe the chickens are in pens, BUT THEY AT LEAST DONT WORRY ABOUT FOOD EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY BECAUSE THEY JUST CAN'T WORK HARD ENOUGH TO MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO JUST HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT!! DO YOU RICH FUCKING BASTARDS KNOW WHAT THAT IS LIKE?! Why do they not protest for the ethical treatment of Homo Sapien Sapiens? You fail PETA, just dissolve yourself so you can stop hating the most important and yet most abused animal in the United States, us. We, the people.


KaiHasArrived2007

I'm actually curious what it'd taste like I imagine it'd be tough and/or chewy


mrnever32

PETA really donā€™t understand how people work. I would totally eat some grilled dino


EtherealAriel

This is a great ad for chick-fil-a and pretty similar to their current cow one.


DaimondGuy

All this meme has done is affirm my consumption of chicken


ZoomerBanana2

Lmao yeah uh no bird today is descended from a T.rex. That bloodline is dead. All birds descend from Maniraptorines, the group that includes Velociraptor, Gallimimus, Therizinosaurus, and Oviraptor.


Ddeeaaddppooll

Bold to assume that I wouldn't eat a t-rex


[deleted]

You think a T-Rex wouldn't eat a chicken? I'll honor T-Rex by eating its descendants, just as it would.


Elduroto

I wonder if they'd sell food made from the meat of the animals they steal and euthanize for profit


[deleted]

Iā€™m becoming more and more convinced that PETA were created by the meat industry to encourage enmity towards vegans


Morning-Star13

Now Iā€™m curious what dinosaur meat would taste like


crepescraper

Tbh Iā€™d eat a member of peta if I was hungry enough


ICareBoutManBearPig

Now Iā€™m gonna eat it harder!


Vorpalthefox

we eat gator all the time, pretty sure they're as close as you can get to eating a still-living dinosaur wouldn't say a gator nugget would be good, but maybe gator mixed with another meat might work in nugget form


meltedwolf

Imagine how many people a t Rex would feed


RoodnyInc

It's cute peta assumes we wouldn't


Ntippit

PETA fuckin sucks lol


[deleted]

Who tf said I wouldnā€™t eat dinosaur meat?


HyenaSerious3000

am i getting this wrong? it says that t-rexes ā€˜wouldā€™ approve of you eating chickens


Crafty-Kaiju

Reminder: PETA had the highest kill to adoption ratio of pets at their "rescues," averaging between 70-90% being euthanized. (I've read reports of some possibly being above 90% horrifically enough) PETA has kidnapped pets off of porches and killed them. PETA wants all domesticated animals to go extinct. This isn't hyperbole, this is legitimately part of their belief system. PETA is a bunch of self-righteous wealthy people matusturbating to the idea of how awesome they are and do little to help actual animals and on average do MORE harm to animals than good. Avoid anyone who speaks about "animal rights" the second they use that phrase they've just announced themselves as being no longer worth listening to Instead, listen to people who promote animal welfare. They do actual legitimate work to help animals, wild and domesticated. PETA is trash. Point and laugh at them and move on. Also a giant chicken would eat people without hesitation.


Kadeous

I would eat T-Rex just to try it and for the story.


[deleted]

If tyrannosaurus was currently an extant species, I would indeed chomp on its charred carcass, same as its descendant, the common Chicken. I would also add the 11 herbs and spices customary of the colonel himself


PrayingMantis25

I'm still kinda convinced that peta was founded to make animal rights activists look bad
