**PSA TLDR, many bipedaled terrestrially based dinosaurs most likely did not roar…they most likely quacked, clucked, gobbled, or honked. A bunch of the larger ones probably spent alot of time basking in swamps, as even with an elevated oxygen level, their sheer mass would have been difficult to power/sustain without some level of buoyancy.
Have you ever seen an orca skeleton? Looks similar to a plesiosaur skeleton.
What about a giraffe skeleton? I wonder, if animators had no idea what a giraffe was and were told that the skeleton belonged to a reptilian land based dinosaur, what would they draw?
I would also chuckle if some dinosaurs were actually a prehistoric python species that died with some other undigested animal in its belly, then the body rotted so the stomach contents poked through and rotted as well, giving the illusion that it’s all one skeleton after fossilization…
TLDR*
*back on topic: as others have mentioned, resurgence of older technologies stems from “newfound” interests based on sharing nostalgic acquisitions, novel-to-individual hype, so on so forth. Remember when polaroids phased out, so they shrunk the film and marketed it as immediate snapshots for social outtings? Being social creatures, we are typically swayed or align to a certain crowd, such as BLF, for example. Most of us are also extremely fickle in terms of taste.
While many “yes men” influencers are ruining flashlight innovation by doping the public with gimmicky clickbait, it helps to generate interest in the hobby. There are honest reviewers who cater specifically to actual users, and I actually find my lighting needs regressing to “dinosaur” tech…direct drive, mechanical twist operation, etc…the highest tech lights I use are both Emisars, because Anduril 2 allows the flexibility of smart and dumb operation.
Caveman need light now! Caveman also need sustained beacon or SOS so hand no get tired and do other thing. Caveman like shiny thing. Caveman like colors. Caveman need High CRI.
