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

[–] a14o@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Velociraptor = ∫ Acceleraptor ⨉ Timeraptor

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

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

or the Yomamaisaraptor!

[–] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago

This joke is a bit derivative

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Shouldn't the raptors cancel though?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

Smh cancel culture these days

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah, mine just cancel out too, lol

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Acceleraptor = ΔVelociraptor / Timeraptor

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Acceleraptor is a nice pokemon name.

[–] Unbecredible@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

several derivatives down the line -> Snaperaptor

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

Displacemenraptor/timeraptor

Actually that's still wrong.

dDisplacemenraptor/dTime. Otherwise you cancel out the raptors.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Or you could go with:

(Distanceraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor

The d is only needed if it is changing.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month 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?

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 month 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

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah we need a directionraptor

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

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

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The legendary timeraptor that can control time

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago

Are those the diamond and perl pokemon?

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Here's a few more pixels

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago

or distance(raptor)^2

[–] necessary@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Why not 'Chronoraptor'?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 8 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

Would a Velosaur not be riding a bicycle?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

That's a Laser Raptor! Fuck!

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I there a directionless speed raptor?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] 7empest@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Timeraptor has arrived .... ALAN

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

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