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 mean, what man would want to harass her if she had two bitey bois on leashes.
Somebody who likes being bitten?
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.
A PBS show mentioned they might also have had lip-like beaks.
So my fan fiction IS based in science! Do you think they were good kissers? I like to think so.
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.
Prehistoric Planet has some nice depictions.
And look at those baby velociraptors!
Note to self: sequel to movie I can't promote right now needs velociraptors.
But can the velociraptors be pets?
Have you seen the documentary called Jurassic World? Some strikingly hansom man was able to do it.
A surprising number of people have chickens as pets, you bet your damn ass people would want velocihens as pets.
How about a terrible mid 00s style low budget scfy channel movie? Barbie vs Dinosaurs. Harley Quinn vs Dinosaurs would work too. It is such a terrible idea it's hilarious IMO.
Clever girls!
🥲
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.
I can't work out what this image is about. Is it Pro atheism or against it?
Yes.
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.
I mean we do live alongside dinosaurs, birds are dinosaurs
We successfully domesticated raptors? Sounds like religion brought us to the wrong timeline.
Totally cool with it. Cat in the window is probably not so jazzed about the velociraptors though
At last, bird-kind gets its revenge.
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.
Probably one where women can't express themselves without a man's permission. I'll tell you where they can shove that.
Is she marrying the raptors? The rose petals are giving me a wedding vibe :)
edit: the raptors are getting married, I mean.Clever girl.
Looks pretty rad to me
Yes. Yes it is.
The bowties are top!
where's my required free gay healthcare ?
Does anyone have a link to the original art and artist?
According to a reddit post from 2021 this is the artist https://www.instagram.com/relmartist/
Be forewarned that her stuff is 'suggestive'
Is this supposed to be against atheism? This seems almost like they're actively encouraging people to become atheists... I want a pet veloceraptor!
What's the crossroads between terrified and aroused?
terroused
Fearection
Pray tell, what is there not to like here? I'm befuddled.
A christian thought they were dunking on atheist with that caption. Bless their heart.
so cool with it
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".
If they can't spell "atheist" they also can't spell "theist."
You'd think, but...
Moreover, they can spell "god". And then "hates"...
Well, you get the idea.
I don't know. I'm allergic to cats.
What about chickens?
Hens fine. Rooster = KFC
Raptors taste like chicken... They say
You’re my boy blue.
I think this is the kind of world we already have.
We were so preoccupied figuring out if we could that we didn't consider if we should.
I figured it out, we definitely should.
I wish atheist wanted this. Everyone would already have converted
I want people to be able to walk their velociraptors without judgement.
Lizard Pope would be down with this
Can confirm. I'm an atheist and this world rocks!
I'm not convinced the utahraptor needs to make a comeback.
The first true thing Xtians ever said
Jurassic Park with nice ladies, I‘m cool with it!
I don't really like that.
But I prefer it other what the religious Right wants.
