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 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.
… is it bad if it makes me want a murder chicken even more?
Nope. You’re good. Just a few chickens though.
It will eat a 12 pack of batteries and then slay you.
Hitachi may want to have a word with you on that sentence.
I can’t not like this idea.
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.
I think it also depends on the mammals that exist in this hypothetical future. If there is a similar species they would likely use it as reference. What’s the deal with dinos? They have teeth, tails, and eggs so people were like “lizard”?
More and more we think bird because of the evidence of feathers but what of feather boas were just the style back then?
Prehistoric Planet has some nice depictions.
And look at those baby velociraptors!
Clever girls!
🥲
Note to self: sequel to movie I can’t promote right now needs velociraptors.
I think most movies could benefit from adding velociraptors.
Not just movies.
But can the velociraptors be pets?
Have you seen the documentary called Jurassic World? Some strikingly hansom man was able to do it.
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.
Is she marrying the raptors? The rose petals are giving me a wedding vibe :)
edit: the raptors are getting married, I mean.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.
where’s my required free gay healthcare ?
Yes. Yes it is.
What’s the crossroads between terrified and aroused?
terroused
Fearection
Pray tell, what is there not to like here? I’m befuddled.
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?
Historically accutate? Abraham Raptor?
Oh definitely the Jurassic Park ones. Who wouldn’t want to be bossed about by Chris “Dances with Dinosaurs” Pratt while a bunch of men stand around and film it?
Is this supposed to be against atheism? This seems almost like they’re actively encouraging people to become atheists… I want a pet veloceraptor!
I don’t know. I’m allergic to cats.
What about chickens?
Raptors taste like chicken… They say
Hens fine. Rooster = KFC
