You mean (Distance*Raptor)/Time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I there a directionless speed raptor?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

This joke is a bit derivative

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day 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 2 days ago

or the Yomamaisaraptor!

Velociraptor = ∫ Acceleraptor ⨉ Timeraptor

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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

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

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

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

or distance(raptor)^2

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

Acceleraptor = ΔVelociraptor / Timeraptor

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Acceleraptor is a nice pokemon name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

several derivatives down the line -> Snaperaptor

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Here's a few more pixels

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days 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 1 day ago (1 children)

Displacemenraptor/timeraptor

Actually that's still wrong.

dDisplacemenraptor/dTime. Otherwise you cancel out the raptors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Or you could go with:

(Distanceraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor

The d is only needed if it is changing.

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

Why *vector? Displacement is already a vector; distance being a scalar.

The d is only needed if it is changing.

Ah, is this a constant speed raptor?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago

Ah, is this a constant speed raptor?

If you look at it for a small enough amount of time, that is (so d can be implicit)

Or you can get Average Velociraptor

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago

Ah my bad, I wanted to write "Distanceraptor" as in the post.
Forgot that by the time I got to actually writing it.

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

Yeah we need a directionraptor

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

The legendary timeraptor that can control time

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

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

Timeraptors went extinct but you can still run into them today.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Shouldn't the raptors cancel though?

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

Smh cancel culture these days

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah, mine just cancel out too, lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

That's a Laser Raptor! Fuck!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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

speedraptor don’t care where you are.

Well of course, that would be the Positioraptor

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

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

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

What does that effectively mean

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Why not 'Chronoraptor'?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days 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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Timeraptor has arrived .... ALAN

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Would a Velosaur not be riding a bicycle?
