Everytime I see naked raptors, I see this:

Yeah, it's weird. I know for a fact some of them are trolling, but others, not so much.
Mineshaft is definitely joking/trolling, lol. Got a few bites it seems.
As for World Star, I have no idea if he's that dumb or not, but he's going to my ignore list regardless.
Those are amazing, thanks for sharing!

We need Speilberg to "George Lucas" those Raptors.
They look kinda boring without feathers. Maybe that's why I was never into dinosaurs as a kid.
No it's not. I was using it as a quick reference. It was short hand for "people thought they were terrible thunder lizards but now you're telling me they're giant chickens?" People had a preconceived notion of what dinosaurs looked like before jurassic park.
Gali...galli...gallimumus?
People are acting as if all dinosaurs had feathers. They lived in a period of 200 million years. It would be natural for them to adapt and change during this period. The feather from the sample is about 100 million. While the first dinosaurs appeared about 250 m years ago. The last dinosaurs was here about 70 m.
As for the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, they were formed and merged with frogs. In addition, based on findings from early 90's.
The faster you actually open your mind and think logically, the better you will be. Science is not necessary the truth, but is closest we are at this time. With new data, the truth changes. We should embrace that. I have never understood why some people are so dismissive of new findings. It rarely have any effect on your daily life.

Kwaii~~ da!
CONFIRMED
The anti-science tilt of this thread is fucking depressing.
Just because you believe dinosaurs look better without doesn't mean they were featherless.
I never said I think they look better without feathers
But you do.
Not necessarily
Why are you so opposed to the idea they do then?
Because it's grounded in fantasy

Geez, I hope all these ridiculous anti-reality (ie. feathers) posts are jokes.
Awesome find. I hope someone makes a VR "Jurassic Park (with feathers)" tour or game.

The biggest visual differences, for the bipedal avian types, would be that most of them had mouths full of teeth, not beaks. And they all had long tails, birds don't.
A turkey with a big toothy mouth and claws.

I really like this shirt and some of the others made by the discovery institute, too bad its such a terrible message. Just something funny about the devil burying dino bones.
edit: Like this one. I don't believe it, I just like the look of it. I'd buy one if I didnt think I was helping their cause.
Dude, those shirts aren't made by the Discovery Institute and are clearly meant to be ironic.

Care to back that up or are you gonna just keep shitposting?
Also anyone actually bothered by an animal having feathers please grow the fuck up. The complaining has gotten so tired and predictable at this point.

I checked the threads WorldStar has made to try to get a better sense of whether he was trolling or serious, and he has multiple threads about UFOs, Bigfoot, and Mermaids. So he apparently believes that kind of stuff, but doesn't believe in feathered dinosaurs?

Well it seems he's living up to that tag.
Ah well that's why God created the ignore list.

Ugh, I hate these so much. Yeah, it's easy to look back at some past science and mock it. In my opinion, it only makes you look like a douche.
Paleontologists were working with the information they had, doing their best with it. These animals were thought to be reptiles (thunder lizards). What does it look like if you take a modern reptile skeleton and "shrink wrap" it? Oh, that's right: it looks like the animal does.
They didn't "shrink wrap" mammals discovered during the same timeframe.
Might as well call Isaac Newton a moron because he didn't invent General Relativity.

What's the point of being a troll? Who are you mocking? People actually believe the things trolls pretend to believe and so the ignorant simply have their ignorance reinforced and facts get buried in shit. This really isn't cute any more, not in this day and age where knowledge is losing the fight on all fronts and people are getting hurt as a result. Dinosaurs may not be life and death but in every corner we sow distrust of science and feed conspiracy is another chip off the foundation of our society. How many of you have friends and family that believe something absurd? Why encourage that?

If you hate feathers, you gotta be an Allosaur fan. Your Tyrannosaur featherless dreams are probably dead.

Feathered dinosaurs are cool in my opnion. Even T-rex can be done right:
That said, people should remember it is probably only theropods who had feathers, guys like Triceratops were probably scaly.
