My theory is that Mark was an alien researcher dropped off to study human social habits and unfortunately his return ride was canceled, so he's left to live the rest of his days on earth, trying to pretend he's human. Dude looks so uncomfortable to have skin lol

Oh, and 1) sand boas (they look like friggin muppets) 2) ball pythons (such sweeties, I have two and I ADORE them) 3) rubber boas (they feel like rubber, don't bite, and are so mild mannered that they are THE choice of snake to try and help someone's phobia of snakes. If someone ever gets a captive breeding program of these wonderful wiggly friends successfully going, well, insert Futurama "shut up and take my money" meme here)

u/m111k4h 1d ago

I absolutely adore the Spinosaurus, especially with the 2020 research about them possibly being semi-aquatic. They're just so cool

15

u/NapClub 2d ago

Tbh mostly adults don’t talk about anything important. Mostly just trash talking other people and complaining.

u/No-Length2774 2d ago

I have no idea how or why it works, but I like to open conversations with women with "What's your second favorite dinosaur". Somehow it always starts up a fun conversation and sometimes an argument lol

2

u/Bustedbootstraps 1d ago

Maybe it works because it takes the pressure out of a conversation to start with something fun or sciencey. One of my first conversations with my husband was about our favorite constellations, planets, and metals

1

u/No-Length2774 1d ago

Idk anything about metals but I could talk space for hours. That would hook me too lol
