    not
    Tshirt
    T-shirt
    T-Shirt

    Fake.

    First, Corythysaurus would have blasted his ass with a sonic boom before he could even have really started. Seriously. BLASTED. HIS. ASS

    Second, they loved about 10 million years apart. That may not seem like much to us fellow humans, but in dinosaur years, its scientifically notable.

    Finally, while T. rex’s English was quite good, it’s vocabulary was limited. source

      Second, they loved about 10 million years apart.

      But people say love can overcome anything; what’s a mere 10m years?

        When they make the movie The Time Traveler’s Dino, will it be animated or CGI?

          Presumably animated first, with an unwanted live action remake if the animated version is successful.

    You have to really lean in on the words to properly express your italicized voice. You almost have to sound like an asshole. Like a somewhat sarcastic asshole…

      i tilt my head 30 degrees to my right and raise at least one eyebrow depending on how high i am, kinda goggle my eyes. I guess I’m italicizing my head but it is also an inside joke.

      i also talk with my hands a lot and i need to pay attention to what i do with my hands next time that comes up. it can’t be as boring as finger quotes. nooooo

        Suggestion: put your hands up flat, palms facing each other, and sort of tilt them with your head.

    This sounds like an autistic rant, literally. Just going off about some societal norm like it’s a sin against god, demanding names be displayed in italics, lmfao. Was pretty informational though.
