Velociraptor = Distanceraptor/Time...

Otherwise the "raptors" would cancel.

@BorisBarbour @StefanEJones

But unlike speed, velocity must have a directional component, how is this handled?

[synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net]

@BorisBarbour @StefanEJones nice catch

[synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net]

@cptbutton @BorisBarbour @StefanEJones direction can be assumed to always be pointing towards the nearest snack

@alter_unicorn I don't know the artist, unfortunately

@StefanEJones
Only true at constant speed.

NOTE: Unfortunately I don't know who drew this lovely thing.

Also, it's just a gag. Don't overthink it.

Unless “raptors” is a constant of 1 in which case it the formula can be simplified.

@StefanEJones the "raptor" cancels out on the right side

@StefanEJones I knew it! Velociraptors are bastards

[haloedrain@toot.cafe]

@StefanEJones (me, thinking too hard about this joke): no, the raptors cancel out like that, it has to be (distance/time)*raptor

Though the possibility of a timeraptor is terrifying

[scriptfanix@maly.io]

@StefanEJones A colleague said it was incorrect and claims to have fixed it

[hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com]

@lunch @StefanEJones So Velociraptor = Distanceraptor / Time to balance out the sides of the equation?

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@StefanEJones double tap:

[lunch@tilde.zone]

@hypolite @StefanEJones or distanceraptorraptor

[efi@chitter.xyz]

@ScriptFanix @StefanEJones what if timeraptor is also a vector
