I… would love a world with velociraptors for pets. (Though they’d just be larger chickens… without the wings)
I would also love a world where women felt safe and comfortable enough to walk around like that. It’d be nice to worry about if a smile and waive is seen as friendly or threatening.
I would also feel safe if I had 2 pet velociraptors.
I concede that… they would be an effective deterrent, yes.
I’m not sure they’d be all that easy to train, though. On a scale of dogs-to-cats, I assume they’re as dumb as your Goldie and as stubborn as the typical cat.
Dumb as a greyhound, and as stubborn as you typical Saber tooth tiger. Doesn't sound fun. It will eat a 12 pack of batteries and then slay you.
I mean, what man would want to harass her if she had two bitey bois on leashes.
A more accurate depiction of raptors would have them with feathers, they'd basically look more like large birds, but with normal jaws and teeth instead of beaks.
Also many of the classical depictions, also known as skin wrapped or shrink-wrapped aren't really great because they don't attempt to depict the animal how they were by reconstructing they just draw skin over the structure of the bones, which is very wrong living things have cartilage and structure in their bodies that aren't bone so we constructing from bone requires imagining and attempting to recreate that structure while using the bone structure as a starting point.
Another meme really made me think about this, how would scientist in the future reconstruct a hippo? How accurate would we be with just the skeleton?
And how accurate are we now with dinosaurus?
Really depends on how they do it if they do the shrink wrapping technique it'll be just as bad, if they try and use context clues and imagination it'll probably be a bit better, probably never 100% unless they find fossilized flesh (which is extremely rare).
As for how accurate it is with dinosaurs it's gotten better, discovery of certain fossilized feathers has given clues to how they looked, even allowing us to theorize about what colors some of their feathers might have been because the pigments in feathers have different Crystal structures, so in a well preserved fossilized feather they can see the shapes of those structures, obviously the color is long gone but because those shapes are unique to the pigments they can infer what color it was.
There are small details that are never going to be quite right, we have though come a long way from where we were.
Note to self: sequel to movie I can't promote right now needs velociraptors.
So I get the leashes and lingerie, but why were the men turned into dinosaurs?
Who tf wouldn't want to be a velociraptor?
Depends are we talking Jurassic Park Velociraptor or historically accurate Velociraptor?
Quite cool with it.
As cool as this is, unfortunately it's the young earth creationists who tend to believe we lived alongside dinosaurs. No cool pets for us :(
We already have chickens, chickens are fucking terrifying. We just need to make them bigger then BAM! velociraptor 2.0.
We successfully domesticated raptors? Sounds like religion brought us to the wrong timeline.
What is the original context of this?
Even aside from cartoon physics and so many other ridiculous things, I'm not sure what the criticism is.
She should be on roller skates or a skateboard so the raptors can pull her. That way she won't mess up her slippers and won't have to work as hard.
I mean those things can only run at like 30mph or less right? Maybe one of those off-road skateboard would be better to handle the sidewalk buckles.
If someone was against the world shown in this image, I'd have to wonder what weird hell their idea of a perfect world is.
Totally cool with it. Cat in the window is probably not so jazzed about the velociraptors though
At last, bird-kind gets its revenge.
The bowties are top!
Clever girl.
Looks pretty rad to me
Is this supposed to be against atheism? This seems almost like they're actively encouraging people to become atheists... I want a pet veloceraptor!
where's my required free gay healthcare ?
Yes. Yes it is.
Is she marrying the raptors? The rose petals are giving me a wedding vibe :)
edit: the raptors are getting married, I mean.
so cool with it
Pray tell, what is there not to like here? I'm befuddled.
We were so preoccupied figuring out if we could that we didn't consider if we should.
I figured it out, we definitely should.
Yes.
I'd also like a world in which more of the people who demonize atheists learn how to fucking spell "atheist". I can spell "pathetic evangelical Christian crybaby asshole".
I think this is the kind of world we already have.
I wish atheist wanted this. Everyone would already have converted
I want people to be able to walk their velociraptors without judgement.
