is the momentary yet visceral pang of fear i feel in response to seeing a t-rex style creature made better or worse by the context that growing up we would pass multiple giant t-rex statues when getting in the highway

#its understandably evolutionarily advantageous to favor false positives over the alternative re fear responses so like. i get why it happens #but like. i do not get the same response from gators and those are actually a potential threat when encountered. even really big ones.#but then even an enormous gator isnt really in the same size class as a multi-story statue. its hard to actually figure out scale but one #tooth from one of those (there are a couple dozen actually but mostly not visible from the outside) would be easily a yard tall.#ive been similarly intimidated by an olympic ski jump so maybe its just a scale/size thing
