Were Dinosaurs Actually Too Big To Walk On Land?

[@Clearlight201]

Love all the humour and love Emilia's quirky upbeat presentation. Big warm welcome to Ben's Dad!

[@TempusSolum]

I've rarely had my heartstrings tugged so much on an educational channel. Best healing thoughts to Ben's dad... such trauma.

[@Borsuk3344]

That was a very good description of Doug's stare.

[@Chompchompyerded]

Bringing Ben's dad in is brilliant. I, for one, promise not to bring up the hardships he faced in bringing up Ben, or the piercing stare which Doug skewered him with. Such matters can be really difficult memories, and are surely something which could trigger PTSD.

[@bluejayblaze1180]

. . . I am facepalming so hard at the guy writing about dinosaurs being too big to walk. I had to google him to check his age and background---the theory he was putting forward *was disproved within his professional lifetime*. I don't know how to react... Is there a mental equivalent to "lost for words?"

[@necroseus]

"Baffled"

[@Scrinwaipwr]

It's like he's come to us straight from the late Victorian era.

[@charleston1789]

Super glad Ben’s dad will be joining, my condolences on his difficult past

[@neuroticplays]

I am glad 7 days of science got it's own channel and will support both this and the original Ben G Thomas channels

[@Annihilator27]

They are going to stop uploading on Ben G I think.

[@neuroticplays]

@Annihilator27 i thought they were going to leave that channel for their other content

[@carolynallisee2463]

Oh dear, are scientists trying to wind the dino clock back to the 1970's? As a young girl then, the prevailing theory was that the sauropods lived in water because they were too big to live on land. A few years later, it was learned that if they'd tried to live in water, they would have suffocated because the water pressure on their chests would have prevented them from breathing.. Perhaps the writers of this paper missed class the day this was brought up!

[@patreekotime4578]

Dont forget how the pressure from their blood would have made thier hearts explode! 😅

[@jandrews6254]

Scientists hadn’t figured out the mechanics of a dinosaur’s body, that the extremely long neck wouldn’t have been held upright but vertical, and counterbalanced by an extremely long tail

Lemme splash is god tier.

[@OlessanYT]

F in the chat for Ben's Dad, he endured so much. o7

[@mellissadalby1402]

Geez, I will be 87 years old in 2045. Time flies when you're having fun! Great band name: "Sex Lakes". Hi Ben's Dad!

[@The_PokeSaurus]

Pretty sad to hear someone got to go on a radio station and spread the pseudo-science of dinosaurs being too big to walk on land.

[@Scrinwaipwr]

Especially when we have footprints of massive sauropods directly disproving the notion.

[@The_PokeSaurus]

@@Scrinwaipwr The same people who think dinosaurs couldn't hold their weight on land also tend to believe in the hollow earth.

[@aliahope-wilson4449]

​@@The_PokeSaurus Hollow earth, that thing which would totally produce enough gravity to make it too difficult for dinosaurs to walk on land 😂

[@Lvestfold4143]

It usually comes from the creationists that fake research in order to “debunk” dinosaurs and therefore also “debunk” evolution

[@michaelb8317]

All of the Dinosaur books I had when I was young in the 1960s/1970s taught that large sauropods lived most of their lives in water because of their weight. I guess the author of this new book never got past that era.

[@VanessaScrillions]

😂 the interview with BensDad was pure gold you guys. Thank you for entertaining and educating me every week!

[@patreekotime4578]

Thank you for spelling his name correctly! Glad he finally joined BensMum on this adventure!

[@hollyodii5969]

Ben’s dad is a gem!

[@thelittleal1212]

“Lemme splash pls”

[@anissyahromi5671]

That thumbnail art really takes me back,i remember as a kid staring at it for a couple of minutes on an encyclopedia book because i like that image,i always stare at it every time i reread it

[@bigboy4006]

I loved Emilia’s reaction to Ben’s water joke! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@joaorodrigues4494]

Ben's Dad section, reminded me of my dad speaking about my animal obcession... 😂

[@lindsay6518]

LOL "he took him into care..."

[@turbotreehouse9780]

Emilia, just gotta say, your narration, projection, annunciation, all of the "-ations" have vastly improved. It's cool to see your skills honing in real time, it's super rad. Also, all of you guys, thanks for doing what you do, making information and curiosity easily accessible. Your efforts mean a lot! 🙏

[@ErinDionysusBee]

Commenting for engagement, its a big risk swapping channels the algorithm can be a bugger on new content. So excited for the future for you guys

[@nilsmuninsheim4279]

Don't know if that's a British thing, but besides the great 'Dark Corners Reviews' you are the second KZbin-channel I follow intently, that gets a science-dad into the game. And I already love it!

[@nikolasproctor7061]

We need a blooper reel of Emilia talking about Uranus. That would be hilarious.

[@Katzztar]

Glad for Ben's Dad joining, he's going bring some humor with that intelligence.

[@OlessanYT]

"Spinosaurus is a whole other thing" it sure is. 😭

[@alecity4877]

The question is what is it?

@@alecity4877 A theropod. What else? :)

[@alecity4877]

it's not a joke about it being something other than a therapod, but the numerous reconstructions and reinterpretations of spinosaurids.

[@chriswidnes5315]

Emilia your hair looks awesome and you fielded those difficult questions about Doug like a pro. He really does sound like a nasty piece of work!

[@TheAdeybob]

The dream team is here. You guys really made that vid goooood. Excellent comedic timing...a great natural flow...and the writing as ever was excellent. I believe a certain dream team is carving out something of a niche for themselves. It's great to see this kind of talent and I can't wait to see how it all goes.

[@exileisland2675]

theres too many jokes to be made about probing Uranus for me to pick one.

[@keithwinget6521]

I giggled for an entire minute-and-a-half.

[@patreekotime4578]

.... Uranus. 😂

[@SaerosTheDragon]

Uranus can't support life.

[@ihcfn]

That cheeky little smile 😁

[@jurgen1395]

Spinofaarus that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

[@HalfTimeLazer]

Look everyone knows that dinosaurs were all semi-aquatic and that parasaurolophus could breathe fire, it's just common sense!

[@charoleawood]

i really enjoyed learning about everything that's happened in these last seven days of science

[@fletulb_]

4:53 that look hahahahh

[@juliadavis8463]

Ben's Dad had me laughing so hard!!!!

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

No. Next question please.

[@jorispattyn9690]

Hearing and viewing Emilia present 7DOS, and comparing that to the generated voices on some other channels, I tend to think we ought not to fear AI taking over soon.😉

As a father of a 17 year old and a 11 year old. I feel Ben's dad. I think we need to create a support group. I'll start. "Hi. I am Ray and I'm a father".

[@VanessaScrillions]

7dos - best series on youtube?! I'd certainly say so! 😊❤

[@Channel-ch8wm]

2:40 - well said! could be a DJ sound sample.

[@abyssal_phoenix]

I am getting fearful of that avian flu I already did when it broke out and started to spread, but it's insane what it has destroyed so far. And nowz with the further spread towards a completely different group of animals... It's not that i per se fear a pandemic for humans. It's more a fear for pets, wildlife and livestock...

[@valentinfejes]

The Homotherium mummy cub just slipped away... Maybe next week!

[@pencilpauli9442]

Hello Ben's dad! Like what you have done with your hair, Emilia. And absolutely love the Love Lakes hypothesis. Love Lakes was indeed a Jurassic reality TV series with hot springs being used as jacuzzies. Palaeontologists just haven't found the tapes yet.

[@necroseus]

Juracuzzies B)

[@v_zach]

I'm old enough to remember being taught that brachiosaurus lived in water because its nostrils were on top like a whale.

[@ericlipton7640]

“Skeh-lee-tul” is my new favorite pronunciation

[@ericlipton7640]

Correction, now it’s “saaalty”

[@mr.carguy654]

Sex lakes, studying Uranus... Its all here and presented and covered professionally and tastefully with a lovely sprinkling of good humour. I'm sure as hell I couldn't remain as professional as Emilia! 😂

[@kirsiselei8703]

Great that Bens dad is joining to this channel❤

[@robrice7246]

3:51/5:31 Whenever I say to someone that not all books are equal or trustworthy, I can mention that book (and its infamy) as a prime example.

[@enormousderek]

Great stuff guys. You've been going from strength to strength for years, well done.

[@lamecasuelas2]

Real men watch the extended 7DOS videos .... And also the shorter versión on the other channel. seriously , we need to support our guys.

[@AntoekneeDE]

Yes

[@AlmightyRawks]

Second video of 7DOS filled with poo, vomit and uranus! Delightful and hilarious, 10/10.

[@AntoniusTyas]

Emilia is getting even more unhinged and I'm all for it.

[@matthewdavies2057]

Every time I see an Anky' tail club I cross my legs.

[@hoibsh21]

Ya, but I pray Tyrannosaurus had no lips 'cause I want him to look as vicious and nightmarish as possible.

[@Andrey.Ivanov]

I think they look goofy with the upper teeth sticking out awkwardly. Atleast on most reconstructions.

[@farmersdotter7]

Ben’s dad ❤❤❤ Watching from Canada 🇨🇦

[@laurachapple6795]

Can't believe we got a Uranus joke and the phrase 'sex lakes' in the same video.

[@EratoTiaTuatha]

WHY is there not a link to the sex lake game in the description though?? Loving the citizen science segment, it was a great idea!

[@IntenseVisuals]

I'd like to hear more about Uranus...

[@yamjamjam]

The pompeii news is kinda really sad... It paints a vivid picture of the panic the victims went through. Unrelated people and children huddle together hoping to survive the eruption and deadly gases 😢

[@jazzingpanda3190]

What a great channel. This channel about to grow huge. Also, lemme splash is hilarious lmao

[@cloudwyrms9752]

We going back to the 1800s with this one

Even now, I sometimes wish to have dinosaur DNA in amber so that we could bring them back to life. That would be truly amazing!🤗
