Velociraptors are scary but really they aren’t that scary because they can’t change speed. They always move at exactly the same rate, so they’re predictable and you can avoid them. The real one to look out for is the acceleraptor

OP I’m gonna kill you.

posiraptors suffered a swift and merciless extinction on account of being trapped on a fixed point from birth

Jerkiraptors jerk you off when they get you

What I’m taking away from this whole delightful conversation is that the “veloci” in the word “velocipede” (old term for bicycle) means that it cannot accelerate or decelerate

And that therefore, the difference between a velocipede and a Lightcycle is not as extreme as one might suppose

The difference perhaps only being that a Lightcycle can sometimes get a Turbo Boost.


…aaaaaaa. But now I have to deal with the fact that the origin of “turbo” actually has more to do with spinning than with speed.

Hah. I was trying to make a ridiculous joke about one speed-related prefix getting used in increasingly wrong ways, but then ended up stuck with another.
