I don't know why, but this meme triggered me.
Timeraptors went extinct but you can still run into them today.
A lot of Velociraptors out there, in Banks, Insurances, Companies and Policy
But would the raptor/raptor cancel out so there must be a distanceraptor but no timeraptor, that’s just silly
or distance(raptor)^2
Here's a few more pixels
That's a Laser Raptor! Fuck!
Timeraptor has arrived .... ALAN
Acceleraptor = ΔVelociraptor / Timeraptor
Acceleraptor is a nice pokemon name.
several derivatives down the line -> Snaperaptor
The legendary timeraptor that can control time
And the distanceraptor that got tired of all the interplanetary travel and the tourists it brought and said "GO AWAY!"
Are those the diamond and perl pokemon?
So ... if two Luxvelociraptors form a square and a Massoraptor crashes into them ...
This implies the existence of an acceloraptor, and even better, the jerkraptor
This joke is a bit derivative
don't forget the snap, crackle, and popraptors!
Paleontologists across the world have been holding out on us! I demand they release the fossils of all the cool raptors!
or the Yomamaisaraptor!
Velociraptor = ∫ Acceleraptor ⨉ Timeraptor
...+ Constraptor
Is that when the humans it ate didn't have enough fibre?
Don't forget Speedraptor!
There’s a lack of consensus the matter. Some specialists claim that it belongs to the family of Amphetaminoraptors.
I didn't forget, I just don't know which direction that one ran off to!
It's hopped up on so much meth, even it doesn't have any idea where it went.
Except that velocity includes a direction component while neither distance nor time do. This would be a speedraptor.
Displacemenraptor/timeraptor
Actually that's still wrong.
dDisplacemenraptor/dTime. Otherwise you cancel out the raptors.
Yeah we need a distanceraptor
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.
Shouldn't the raptors cancel though?
Smh cancel culture these days
So is it Distance(raptor²)/Time(raptor²)?
No, Distance(raptor²)/Timeraptor, or Distanceraptor/Time.
Oh yeah, mine just cancel out too, lol
Akshually that would just be Veloci. It should be Distanceraptor/Time. Raptor/Raptor = 1
speedraptor don't care where you are.
speedraptor care about speed.
Raptors can max out speed perception or distance perception, but not both. That's a law in physics.
What does that effectively mean
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!
Why not 'Chronoraptor'?
Would a Velosaur not be riding a bicycle?
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
