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

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

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

[-] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

or the Yomamaisaraptor!

[-] a14o@feddit.org 19 points 2 months ago

Velociraptor = ∫ Acceleraptor ⨉ Timeraptor

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

This joke is a bit derivative

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago
[-] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 14 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] adb@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

There’s a lack of consensus the matter. Some specialists claim that it belongs to the family of Amphetaminoraptors.

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 23 points 2 months ago

Shouldn't the raptors cancel though?

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

Smh cancel culture these days

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Speiser0@feddit.org 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, mine just cancel out too, lol

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Acceleraptor = ΔVelociraptor / Timeraptor

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Acceleraptor is a nice pokemon name.

[-] Unbecredible@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

several derivatives down the line -> Snaperaptor

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 months 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.

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Displacemenraptor/timeraptor

Actually that's still wrong.

dDisplacemenraptor/dTime. Otherwise you cancel out the raptors.

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Or you could go with:

(Distanceraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor

The d is only needed if it is changing.

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

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 12 points 2 months ago

The legendary timeraptor that can control time

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Speiser0@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Are those the diamond and perl pokemon?

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Here's a few more pixels

[-] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

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

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

or distance(raptor)^2

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

speedraptor don't care where you are.
speedraptor care about speed.

[-] Speiser0@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Raptors can max out speed perception or distance perception, but not both. That's a law in physics.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

What does that effectively mean

[-] Speiser0@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

That you're screwed either way if you encounter any of those raptors. They even named them like this because they reached these extreme physical bounds.

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

speedraptor don’t care where you are.

Well of course, that would be the Positioraptor

[-] necessary@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Why not 'Chronoraptor'?

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months 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!

[-] guy_threepwood@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Would a Velosaur not be riding a bicycle?

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months 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

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That's a Laser Raptor! Fuck!

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

You mean (Distance*Raptor)/Time

[-] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I there a directionless speed raptor?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] 7empest@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Timeraptor has arrived .... ALAN

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

A lot of Velociraptors out there, in Banks, Insurances, Companies and Policy

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

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