Ears are wrong since they suggest directional ears, but we don’t have the muscle, or critically the ligament attachment points on the skull, for that.
As far as claws go, again, no marks of strong cartilege / ligament / bed on the fingers and toes that would indicate functional claws.
Nipples: the smoking gun would be a pregnant woman or an infant, but theyd be able to see that unlike rodents, humans arent having more than two babies at a time outside of extremely rare cases, more than two babies just dont have room to fully gestate, so theyd likely cut that number down.
Fur: the sheer amount of plastic clothing we’ve generated will put that to rest fast.
Whiskers: There would be ligament attachment marks on the skull where the muscles used to move them would have been. Also maybe blood vessel/neuron marks on the bones.
Also the almost complete lack of snout would indicate heavy hand usage and not diving into things headfirst like rodents and cats have to.
Whiskers don’t make sense on a creature that doesn’t walk on all 4 anyway. They are only useful if they have a chance to contact something in front of you before the rest of your body.

May I introduce you to basically any interpretation of what dinosaurs looked like, ever (which is what this joke is about)?

Yup, and I am aware how outdated that artwork is. Thats where I pulled that analysis from.
I’d suggest Raptor Chatter and Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong on youtube.

i.e. on all fours the rest of the time
No need to bring your mom into this
