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

Just seeing that made the theme song pop into me head full force. Crazy how things can stick with you.

You never heard of the Bureaucrasaurus? Or the Administradon?

[–] TeamAssimilation 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

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

should i put eating and pooping on my CV??

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You mean: ruling your house.

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

He is on his throne

You don't already?

Do you even want that IT job?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah, let alone draw a straight line.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[–] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Are we ruling the Earth or making the biggest mess ever in history? Who's to say who has the better admin skills?

[–] TeamAssimilation 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Ruling the Earth and making the biggest mess ever in history are not mutually exclusive.

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They did a better job than we are.

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

we barely know a thing about them. maybe they were burning trash on the sidewalk

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

We need an imminent giant meteor impact to know for sure

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Foxfire@pawb.social 15 points 4 months ago

Almost certainly

So you're saying there's a chance!

[–] Kompressor@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Washing away the brutal bureaucracy of the Devonian period as well smh.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not what Dinosaur Train told me

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 months ago

Then why is it called Tyrannosaurus Rex? Gotcha.

[–] Boozilla@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Just because T-Rex has those little arms didn't mean it wasn't good at typing!

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Ohh, how I wish I coulda been the 1 to make your meem's score 1000, Hoomin..

[–] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 2 points 4 months ago

Well if you were alive back then dinosaurs would be the ones to be the ones to decide if you lived or died

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

They made Anarchy work
