You mean (Distance*Raptor)/Time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I there a directionless speed raptor?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

Timeraptor has arrived .... ALAN

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

or distance(raptor)^2

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's a Laser Raptor! Fuck!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Here's a few more pixels

Acceleraptor = ΔVelociraptor / Timeraptor

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Acceleraptor is a nice pokemon name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

several derivatives down the line -> Snaperaptor

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

The legendary timeraptor that can control time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Are those the diamond and perl pokemon?

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

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

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

Yeah we need a directionraptor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Displacemenraptor/timeraptor

Actually that's still wrong.

dDisplacemenraptor/dTime. Otherwise you cancel out the raptors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Or you could go with:

(Distanceraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor

The d is only needed if it is changing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week 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] 1 points 1 week 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] 1 points 1 week 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] 12 points 2 weeks 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] 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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

speedraptor don’t care where you are.

Well of course, that would be the Positioraptor

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What does that effectively mean

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks 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] 8 points 2 weeks 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] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Would a Velosaur not be riding a bicycle?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks 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

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

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