“Do you guys see what I’m seeing?” wrote a TikTok user who had discovered something shocking at a nearby Chinese buffet. This user was shocked to see chicken nuggets fashioned like dinosaurs being served. The nuggets looked quite good with the sauce and sesame seeds on top. The user, however, was astounded by what they saw and chose to take a video in order to observe the reactions of others to this unexpected buffet provision.
The video was clear-cut and short. Using a variety of TikTok capabilities, the user concentrated the camera on the dinosaur nuggets coated in sesame seeds and produced a video that swiftly gained popularity. The first line of this article was narrated by the user via the text-to-voice tool. Then, the camera repeatedly focused in to provide a close-up of the nuggets, which were obviously obtained from the frozen food department of a grocery store and used for the buffet.
The video was shared on TikTok, Reddit, Twitter, and other websites. It received thousands of comments, over 100,000 likes, and over two million views.
That would surpass the severity of an infestation! One commenter screamed, “I mean, we can just buy them from the grocery store!”
Some appeared to be more understanding, stating that if they were the only thing available, they would happily eat them.
“No food over dino nuggets.” Another said, “I mean, they look pretty good too!”
After watching the video, someone even made a joke about going to get sesame seeds and dinosaur nuggets.
“I’m going to pick up some Dino nuggets.” Delicious! While we’re at it, I may as well purchase some chicken and sesame seeds. #satisfyinginmytummy
More than ten thousand people commented on the video, expressing their shock and amusement at the restaurant’s use of dinosaur nuggets. Someone said that if they happened upon the sesame seed dinosaur nuggets at the buffet, they would eat them all.
They said, “I would definitely eat dino nugget sesame chicken.”
A jubilant user said, “It doesn’t matter that they used dinosaur nuggets.” All I want to do is taste them.
Another TikToker joked, “Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious.”
Another person responded, “Okay, but that really looks really good.”
Another commentator made the joke, “Chicken shortage so real that they replaced it with prehistoric meat.”
“You mean, not the dinosaur nuggets?” another person said.
One person brought up the point that customers, as well as businesses such as restaurants, are being severely impacted by supply chain problems and inflation.
“Dino nuggets, oh my god? They wrote, “This inflation is ridiculous.”
Some were worried that the chicken nuggets would be contaminated with maggots or other insects, while others anticipated the video to be offensive.
“I’m searching for maggots.” “Is that a dinosaur nugget?” inquired someone else.
Typhoon Kong-rey Has One of Largest Eyes Ever Seen: ‘Absolutely Massive’
Ameteorologist has pointed out the sheer size of Typhoon Kong-rey’s eye as the massive storm approached Taiwan on Wednesday.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Typhoon Kong-rey had maximum sustained winds of 130 mph, according to the website Zoom Earth. The storm has weakened slightly since Tuesday night, when it was categorized as a super typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. Forecasts anticipate that Typhoon Kong-rey will weaken further by the time it makes landfall in Kaohsiung in the early morning hours on Thursday.
On Tuesday night, meteorologist Noah Bergren of TV station WOFL in Orlando, Florida, commented on the size of the storm’s eye.
“Super Typhoon Kong-rey is easily one of the largest eye’s in a major tropical system you will ever see on Earth,” Bergren posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Thing is absolutely massive.”

AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alan Reppert told Newsweek that having a large eye doesn’t necessarily imply anything about the storm’s strength.
“It just means the winds with it are farther away from the center than if it was a smaller eye,” he said. “It doesn’t necessarily have any major defining characteristic of the storm.”
Reppert added that a stronger storm that’s been around longer usually has a wider eye than a newer storm.
Most spaghetti models—or computer models illustrating potential storm paths—show Kong-rey making landfall on Taiwan’s southeast coast and cutting across the island before emerging with maximum sustained winds of around 75 mph. Models indicate that the typhoon will exhibit a northeastern turn away from China, which will take it out to the East China Sea.
Kong-rey’s strength is uncharacteristic for this time of year, The New York Times reported, adding that the typhoon is expected to make landfall equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane.
Reppert warned that strong winds up to 140 mph with higher gusts could hit southern Taiwan, though the storm is expected to weaken as it moves over the island. An AccuWeather report warned of “significant structural damage, mudslides and landslides” from the storm, as up to 3 feet of rain is expected to lash Taiwan. The storm could either maintain its intensity or strengthen before it makes landfall early Thursday.
Eastern China and Japan also are expecting heavy rain as the storm progresses.
A typhoon is classified as a severe tropical cyclone occurring in the Northwest Pacific. A hurricane is the term for the same type of storm in the Northeast Pacific and Northern Atlantic. Outside of these regions, the storms are called tropical cyclones.
