since nobody actually has an explanation yet I'll give my extremely unqualified one (aka, I was sent a tiktok like 2 weeks ago)

Basically they saw big T-rexes and little ones. They assumed the little ones were babies, but now new evidence has shown that they might not be related and they're just a similar looking dinosower

no idea what the third version is, the tiktok didn't go over that one πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
I'll let someone else with more experience correct me lol

Because of that word, I heard the whole thing in this guy's voice

This makes a lot of sense. Taxonomists are tasked with a difficult job organizing fossils into species. Its why there's like 7 definitions of species. Off the top of my head: shape (morphology), sex (interbreeding), genetics (differences in key genes) with the majority of them existing to categorize extinct species

Also evolution (common genetic pool) and ecology (common niche, environmental pressures and behaviour).

Dibs on not being the butt muncher

Dibs on being the middle one. Eating ass AND having my ass eaten? Don't threaten me with a good time!

It’s better than three trench coats in a dinosaur.

RIP Neo, Columbo, and Inspector Gadget.

Alright. I admit it. None of us are actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The size of Mike's ass seems pretty variable lately.

One's on the bottom, strong is he

Two's in the middle, carrying Three

Three's pretending not to be

3 dinos in a trench coat!

With this drawing the tiny arms make so much more sense now.

Some power rangers Jurassic Park cross-over?

Reads like devil man crybaby

I like that they got up from their bed, took out a peace of paper or opened up krita, drew it, polished it, sent to their phone via photo or email because plugging cable to pc and transferring is unironically harder due to the way android hides their file-system, and posted it.

I would have scanned it on the flatbed scanner hooked up to my desktop. Get off my lawn.

Aren’t all the good ones once you take the trench-coat off?
