MODERATORS
It should be distanceraptor / time
Otherwise the raptors cancel and you just get velocity.
Distanceraptor over time equals velociraptor? Sounds like evolution to me.
It tripped, so it became a revolution instead
Good catch, but following that it should actually be displacementraptor / time. Speed is based on distance traveled, velocity is where you started vs where you ended up. If you run complete laps around a track your velocity will be 0 when you're done because your displacement is 0 (start and end points are the same)
Also a good catch.
Speediraptor just sounds silly. Not nearly as scary as velociraptor.
And it should be displaceraptor, dropping the last syllable, otherwise the quotient would be velocityraptor.
I was gonna share this meme, but now it just seems silly with all of these factual errors.
The cumulative pedantry is almost all the fun.
I mean, yes? Weren’t they super fast?
They seemed fast, but it's just because they worked in packs, so the one that got you was there the whole time.
Nothing personnel, kid.
Clever girl.
No, you would get veloci.
Only if you treat it as (distance)(raptor) / (time)(raptor)
