Rabid bats are welcome in my home
Nice av. The wife didn't want the dimetrodon framed photo in the downstairs bathroom so we compromised with a framed photo of a majestic capybara. I got to find somewhere for this dime to display.

Tell her it will frighten the poops straight from her butt, ie scare her shitless.

If somebody who isn't on mobile could do a better job of this I'd really appreciate it.
Anyway, without further ado, I present a combination of the best 2 threads in GBS, or indeed, the entire forums.

Dimetrodons are so loving cute. Little prehistoric dogs with fins. Love their big heads and sharp lil teefies.

They were cold blooded too so if you had a pet dimetrodon they'd probably cuddle you in the winter :3:

it's immoral to keep a dimetrodon around without some rocks to stand on and a world to roar at

I would feed my dime some ostrich eggs and give him things to chew. I would build a little hill with a rock in the backyard that is well above the fenceline so he can roar at neighbors as they walk their dogs. A good boy.

If I had a lil dime I'd worry about the wind knocking him over by his sail. Is that something that happens? The back sails are so big.:froggonk:

It would be cool to nap in the shadow of a pet dimetrodon's sail while it's sunning itself on a warm day. Hands behind your head, chewing on a piece of straw, with your hat brim pulled down over your eyes.

they are like little lizard goats that are compelled to climb things and then let out that little roar we all know and love

Here's the website if you want to put in some dimetrodon pix and give it a whirl. output video = yes is nice for forums embedding

so, like, how do you search the archives, because if archives are included in the standard search tool then this person is the first person to mention dimetrodon on the forums, back in 2013

Kilersquirrel posted:

What area of DFW are you in? Most any route down to Glen Rose has a ton of country highways and roads with nice curves and dips, plus it's real pretty. If you don't mind slabbing it for a while, just taking 20 west into the Estacado tablelands is ha-mazingly pretty, especially now with rain(!!111 Dear god I hope we get an Indian summer this year) falling somewhat consistently and all the wildflowers blooming furiously. There's a crapload of little winding roads anywhere in farm country between Weatherford and Abilene too.

The elevation change from the high prairie where we're at and the Estacado in and of itself is worth riding for, whatever civil engineer designed 20's route must have been a motorcyclist or a big roller coaster fan. It's even fun to drive in my auto Ranger, the canting is perfect.

If you're thinking about heading north to OK and are a paleontology fan at all the Redbeds between TX and OK are chock full of some of the oldest vertebrate fossils in the world. If you can find a place that lets you access some of them, Dimetrodon and other proto-mammal synapsid teeth are supposed to be a dime a dozen in many areas. (It was the balmy southern coast of the North American continent until erosion from the now-plains areas and ancient mountain ranges in Canada started forming humongous mud/oyster flats, i.e. Texas)


You can use the elevation change graph on Google Maps' Distance Measurement tool to see what kind of ride a certain route is, too.

fake edit: I did not know about the hearing loss thing, time to get fitted for earplugs.

you will note they correctly identify dimetrodon as a proto-mammal synapsid

You would need a different sheet as Dimetrodons are Pelycosaurs not Dinosaurs and that sheet would just be Hell Yeah! written as large as possible.

they did in fact roar, however it was only when angry and only when about to deploy the thagomizer.

the fact that dimetrodons are proto-mammal synapsids means that dimetrodons live on today
