I'm surprised no one's asked yet -- how did he obtain the samples of dinosaur sounds?

There was an old dinosaur pc game from the '90s that has since open sourced. He started from there, but opened each audio file in some application that allowed him to modify each. Some needed truncating, others attenuation, increased amplitude, etc. It was fun watching him mess with the analog signals. There was also a hard limit of media total filesize.

Obviously the time machine was the easy part. Not worth documenting.

Left as an exercise to the reader.

Exactly. Like every proof ever: "It is easy to show that..."
