Ahh, the more pressing point is would we taste like chicken or its contemporary?

Most likely. If our wild ancestors ever had seen a T-Rex, they most probably would still hold the world record for the biggest fried chicken.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Well, they are far more dangerous, they can open doors and chase you (ideally in kitchen). I have seen Jurassic park!

They were about the size of a turkey and even looked like a turkey because they already had feathers.

Hmmm, that brings us to the Dinos had feathers. I want my Dinos to have teeth & scales, I grew up with that. In fact if I search for them in the garage, I have plastic Dino's that kinda represented dragons minus wings...

Still no reason to panic. Only theropods had feathers, as far as we know. There still is the big question what parts of their bodies were covered with them. A bigger dinosaur like a T-Rex most probably had a similar problem as large animals have today: They have more problems cooling down their bodies than heating them up. Why don't modern elephants have a fur, like their ice age relatives had? A T-Rex that looks like a huge parrot may be very prone to overheating. At the same time nothing speaks against it having some feathers for totally different purposes, like attracting mates. That's something very common with birds and may already have been so with their ancestors.

No, they don't. They have a beak, like all birds. That's something very different from a snout. Reverse engineering the evolution of the beak actually is what the studies of inactive dinosaur DNA are all about, not really reconstructing dinosaurs. These structures of the beak may look like teeth and even have a similar function, but they are not really teeth.

I didn't write anything about teeth.
But it certainly does look like a configuration error to me.

When you are protecting the offspring against a small crowd of gawkers, you want to look fierce and dangerous. I think it works, so where is the error?

No. It's the other way around. The reptilian aliens are our distant cousins. I thought you did not like Star Trek[^].

I don't like Star Trek. I've watched maybe 1 of the movies.
Dinosaurs never lived here. They are an alien prank on us. Don't fall for it.
But a prank that gives us the last laugh, since we believe that prank led to us having oil.

No. If our radar was jammed[^], one of us would have to saddle up and manually ride the Nike Hercules.

Chickens are blood-thirsty vicious creatures and we should be thankful they don't have teeth, the beaks are bad enough!
They are like sharks when they see blood. Mice are a tasty treat for them and they aren't above cannibalizing other chickens wounded in the feeding frenzy. Perhaps they aren't as far removed from raptors as we'd like to think.

Was that in the Insider last week?
I never heard of the expression until last week when I read it somewhere.
Or maybe it was Netflix?
