I know it's green text but come on. Even T-Rex sleep. Wait for that, poke its eyes out, cut its tendons and then just go death by a thousand cuts on that big lizard.

Also, most apex predators are heavy sleepers because they have absolutely nothing to be scared of when they're asleep. As an example, male lions sleep for 18-20 hours a day.

Well, it sure as fuck will wake up if you stab its eye out. If I had to bet I still would pick the one-eyed angry T-Rex.

Recent studies have shown their top speed is about the same as humans. You could:

  1. wait for him to sleep
  2. poke an eye out
  3. run to safety
  4. Repeat steps 1 2 3
  5. Finish him after you take advantage of the rest of the month of free food and accomodations.

I love how you have a plan that gets you $500 million, but you just have to have to take advantage of that free rent in a shack before time runs out.

Hey, don't look a gift t-rex in the mouth

We don't know if they ever slept. We don't even know if they had fur or not.

I just had to stop me from going down a whole rabbit hole about sleeping sharks. So I'm just going to make this point:

Chickens and crocodiles sleep, and they are basically dinosaurs so: Checkmate.

Seriously though, sharks are pretty interesting creatures! https://animalhype.com/fish/do-sharks-sleep/

Yeah, go sharks! 🎉

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Not basically, chickens literally are dinosaurs.

There's a study that shows that even jellyfish seem to sleep.
