tbh jurrassic park/world would’ve been such a chill place i’f they’d just focused on the herbivores

  • you could actually go and see the dinosaurs up close without a 10k volt fence
  • actually, you wouldn’t need any fences at all, you could have a walk around the entire island and chill with the dinos
  • you could pet and feed them
  • damn yOU COULD RIDE THE SMALLER ONES
  • (or the big ones)
  • also no one??? becomes??? dinosaur?? food????

This is actually an issue I have with the Jurassic Park movies. All herbivores aren’t just docile cows who will let you pet them and ride them and do all manner of things. In fact, cows aren’t really like that either. Herbivores are prey animals, which means that they have plenty of survival instincts that involve goring your ass with their horns if you get too close. If you wouldn’t try to pet a cape buffalo or a hippo, don’t imagine that you’d actually be able to pet a triceratops or an apatosaurus.

Sure, no one would get eaten, but does that really make a difference after you’ve been trampled to death?

Jurassic World Dear Adivce Columnist Letters:

Dear tirlaeyn:

My husband and I are in the process of getting divorced, but we don’t want anyone to know until the deed is done and our assets and children have been appropriately divided up.

We sent our kids to the Jurassic World theme park to visit my sister (who runs it), so they could have some fun while my husband moves out.

Can you believe that she didn’t just drop everything to make sure that they would have a good time? I mean, really, I know that I didn’t tell her that my husband is leaving and I’m moving my lesbian lover in this weekend, but the least she could have done is ignore her duties and concentrate on my boys! My kids are way more important than twenty-odd thousand people who paid for a safe experience with a lot of giant, man-eating predators.

ps: what was the point of her ignoring my kids if dinosaurs were going to get loose anyway! My kids have bruises! The gall!


Dear tirlaeyn:

My sister sent her kids to visit without warning me and is now pissed that they were sweaty and a bit bruised after their dinosaur adventure. Any advice on how to keep the peace?

Also, I had adrenaline-fueled “we didn’t die!” sex with a subordinate who trains raptors as attack dogs. Now he thinks we should start planning a wedding!

I’m not sure how to approach him about my general ambivalence about anything more than a fuckbuddy relationship. Help!
