I there a directionless speed raptor?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I don't know why, but this meme triggered me.

But would the raptor/raptor cancel out so there must be a distanceraptor but no timeraptor, that’s just silly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

or distance(raptor)^2

[–] [email protected] 9 points 20 hours ago

Here's a few more pixels

Acceleraptor = ΔVelociraptor / Timeraptor

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Acceleraptor is a nice pokemon name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

several derivatives down the line -> Snaperaptor

[–] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The legendary timeraptor that can control time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

And the distanceraptor that got tired of all the interplanetary travel and the tourists it brought and said "GO AWAY!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Are those the diamond and perl pokemon?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

That's a Laser Raptor! Fuck!

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This implies the existence of an acceloraptor, and even better, the jerkraptor

[–] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago

This joke is a bit derivative

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

don't forget the snap, crackle, and popraptors!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Paleontologists across the world have been holding out on us! I demand they release the fossils of all the cool raptors!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

or the Yomamaisaraptor!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Velociraptor = ∫ Acceleraptor ⨉ Timeraptor

Is that when the humans it ate didn't have enough fibre?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't forget, I just don't know which direction that one ran off to!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

It's hopped up on so much meth, even it doesn't have any idea where it went.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Except that velocity includes a direction component while neither distance nor time do. This would be a speedraptor.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

The equation produced a large number of speedraptors, but only the velociraptors survived over evolutionary time, because the non-velocity-aware speedraptors kept chasing their prey in the wrong direction.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Displacemenraptor/timeraptor

Actually that's still wrong.

dDisplacemenraptor/dTime. Otherwise you cancel out the raptors.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 hours ago

Or you could go with:

(Displacementeraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor

The d is only needed if it is changing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Yeah we need a directionraptor

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Timeraptor has arrived .... ALAN

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Shouldn't the raptors cancel though?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago

Smh cancel culture these days

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So is it Distance(raptor²)/Time(raptor²)?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

No, Distance(raptor²)/Timeraptor, or Distanceraptor/Time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

Oh yeah, mine just cancel out too, lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

So ... if two Luxvelociraptors form a square and a Massoraptor crashes into them ...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Akshually that would just be Veloci. It should be Distanceraptor/Time. Raptor/Raptor = 1

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Why not 'Chronoraptor'?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

velociraptor = distance(raptor)²/timeraptor

acceleraptor = veloci(raptor)²/timeraptor = distance(raptor)²/(timeraptor)²

momentumraptor = mass(raptor)²/velociraptor

...you know what, I'm going to use dinosaur derivatives instead. GIMME A CHICKEN!

Would a Velosaur not be riding a bicycle?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Yo! Man. I got me down on the two wheels
I got my own displacement
And the time - by line - is rent
Yo, man, got it down in the feels!
Pick up them claws;
We're opening doors
An' when I integrate again
I'm addin' that C, ya ken?
Yo, man, check the map, yeah:
I'm the Velo'C'Rapper
