   Ugh, that was long and mumbly, but this one was fun:

   > ”Apples to oranges”
   [ . . . ] that phrase don't make no sense
   Why can't fruit be compared?

   
   Minor pet peeve of mine too. 😃

     I don't think I've ever been in bed with someone I didn't have some inkling of their position on God, aliens, dinos and vegetarianism.

     @Malm In the US apparently there can be ... divergence from the consensus view on dinos, how long ago they existed, etc ... 😬

     In Sweden the first tree are pretty much a given.

     @clacke I think number four is the only one that comes up in my discussions.
     What position is it possible to have on dinos? Scary, fictional, extinct...?

     @clacke You can compare there is no ordering of them.

     I've heard there are even people who don't have a favorite dinosaur, and don't care.

     My favorite dinosaur is the cassowary, the giant murder kiwi. Of the extinct ones? The velociraptor, the giant murder chicken.

     What does "do you fuck with the war?" even mean? Based on the other uses of the same pattern it seems like it might mean "do you like war?"?

     I admit that they are well-animated dinos and wolves.
