The thing I dislike about this is that Schmetterling actually sounds the most sweet out of the languages used (from the video probably being referenced), if you say it normally.

Funny thing is that the "Schmetter" is a product when making butter. So the butterfly and Schmetterling share the same naming origin

Random thought prompted by this thread...

So birds are basically just tiny descendants of dinosaurs, right? Parrots, corvids, and a few others are capable of mimicry.... were there any dinos that shared that trait?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

bear in mind that birds are a specific branch of dinosaurs, closest related to stuff like velociraptor.

so it's a pretty good bet that raptors would make bird-like noises (though probably less complex and lower pitched), but doubtful that a stegosaurus would sound anything like a bird.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

If only! Imagine a gigantic stegosaurus or triceratops tweeting away sweetly like a song bird.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idk man there are some birds that don't even sound like birds.

Imagine a dinosaur sized shoebill snapping it's beak.

I think i read somewhere that velociraptors were about as smart as a dog. Convergent evolution, because both are group-hunting predators.

There are many decades between use of this font and the Bundesrepublik Deutschland. This post is a typographical disaster.

Bad German! You can't lebensraum here. Back to Bonn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

After seeing Bonn and Berlin I must say they both suck. Should have made Duisburg the capital.

Stupid German Dinosaurs

I thought it was made quite clear neither were dinosaurs.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe the people speaking in the post are daft, elderly people from the rhineland.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Rhinos are not dinosaurs either.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats funny because an article about a discovered dino voice box fossil was published just last year

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9932143/

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

VERY disappointed this article didn't include an audio file

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

That's bird sounds slowed down, so might be a good approximation. The article does mentions bird-like vocalization. And it sounds terrifying.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd "facts" that sticks with you, though.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not to mention that they wouldn't have addressed them by the names we gave them after they went extinct.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Back then they pronounced the P

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It still is in German! But we use K instead of C in this case, so true, if they spoke German it would be a Pterodaktylus

If you want to know what dinosaurs sound like, listen to a nearest bird. Birds are dinosaurs

For all I know, that's just two metal bands saying hi.

I've always imagined that they sound like angry chickens or geese.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

All geese are angry geese.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, technically angry chickens (and non-angry ones) and geese are dinosaurs. More than the ones mentioned in the post.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, we have chickens running around where I live, and those mfers can really sound creepy as fuck. That sort of muted muffled gutteral shriek thing they do? That's never mentioned in children's farm animals books...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

We actually do have some educated guesses based on muscle reconstruction

Apparently T-Rexes sounded like Freddy Fazbear

Isn't this just the premise of the secret Hitler board game?

I thought those were Rammstein lyrics.

Maybe they all say rabarbarbara.
