Do you ever wake up in the morning, groan, and think "Wow, I feel like a fossil"? Yeah, same. Between surviving one historical event after another, drinking coffee like it's lava from the Earth's core, and hearing yourself say "back in my day", we're all basically prehistoric animals at this point. The only difference is that the dinosaurs didn't have Wi-Fi - though, to be fair, they also didn't have rent.

If any creatures could relate to feeling tired of living through world-changing disasters, it's the dinos. Normally, they were out there munching on ferns, roaring dramatically, and minding their Jurassic business - but then? Boom. Meteor. Talk about being tired of living through these major historical events... and yet, millions of years later, here we are, still relating to their fossilized faces like they're our direct ancient ancestors of being exhausted of existing.

Do you think the dinosaurs knew they'd become the meme masters that they are? Or they disappeared not guessing the internet fame they'd win just because they're so ancient? Because, honestly, dinosaur memes are some of the best content for old animal fans, who feel a little ancient themselves. So let's go and ooga booga through these ancient animal funnies.

  • Oh darn, we really wanted to ride our triceratops through the park today, but we guess this plan needs to be scrapped. Maybe we can ride our t-rex through the woods instead?

    saying "my life sucks" when things go wrong - self-deprecating - depressing - makes you sad Saying "Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus wouldn't want this for me" when things go wrong - motivating - makes you think about Spinosaurus - reminds you that Spinosaurus cares for you

    OvO™M @j_stocky As a traditional artist, I always have trouble when drawing king animals especially dinosaurs as the paper is not enough to fit in, so I have found the solution.

    Pudge @Pudge_Ruffi... 6h ... I imagine bird watching would've been considered a much more ambitious hobby during the Cretaceous period.
