“Why do dinosaurs pay for Amazon Shipping?”/“Because they live in the Land before Prime.”

The Land Before Time (1988) is an animated adventure drama film about dinosaurs. How did the dinosaurs order products from Amazon.com in such a prehistoric age? A riddle was posted on Reddit—3amjokes on December 27, 2017:
 
Q: Why do dinosaurs pay for Amazon Shipping?
A: Because they live in the Land before Prime.

   
Amazon Prime began in 2005, so the dinosaurs must have lived before this.
