Idk if chicken would be appropriate for T-Rex, but idk of any other options either considering Cassowaries are Raptors, Shoebill maybe? But yeah Komodos have that T-Rex or Giganotosaurus vibe when they stand on 2 legs anyway.
Fr? Bruh it can’t be, I thought it was just a meme, it has to be some of those big badass birds unless actually true and he got the most insane downgrade in history unlike other dinosaurs.
I know lmao, but not every dinosaur is a Cassowary nowadays, some got downgraded, it’s just hard to imagine that out of all the chicken is the one who’s closest to T-Rex.
That’s not how it works. All birds share a common ancestor that was a cousin to it, so they’re all equally related to it in terms of when they split off. For chickens to be more closely related to T. rex, they would have to share a more recent common ancestor with it than they do with other birds. That would also make T. rex a bird if you still wanted to count chickens as birds.

Out of all birds, the Chicken is the closest relative to T-Rex

Birds share common ancestry with Dinosaurs, and are considered Dinosaurs. Not everything has to be big or badass

Oh my bad, I didn’t mean to seem dickish
They’re wrong lol.
I’m not wrong. Or at least I’m 99 percent sure I’m not. I’ve read this numerous times from paleontologists.

I guess paleontologists are wrong then.
I just figure there’s a bunch of antisemetic conspiracies about lizard people, don’t want right-wingers appropriating your meme.
Shoebill wouldn’t be a great look for similar reasons.
Do people still unironically talk about these except Zuckerberg jokes?
Unfortunately, yes
