I too vomit while standing up at my full height.
Ye, they would probably bow down to vomit. Would be interesting to see how giraffes do it.
Puking giraffes, sounds like a band name
I found a youtube video explaining that giraffes have four stomachs. They vomit from the forth to the second or first, and very rarely does it come up. https://youtu.be/7EXnc8SXWV8?t=70
Owls (owl pellets) or even snakes and lizards would probs be more accurate imo
That’s an impressive superpower.
Looking harmless and then suddenly violently puke like a fire hose stream on some poor bankrobbers or something.
I bet that it wouldn’t need to be some strong acid to be an effective repellent.Removed by mod
What’s even scarier is that it used that amount of strength to bring the vomit up
“Today, we discovered the first time ‘Eastbound and Down’ was heard, coming from an unlikely place…”
Is friction really negligible here?
It’s probably pretty important. This paper on the terminal velocity of water droplets shows an upper limit of around 10m/s. And terminal velocity is reached in under 6m.
Thank you for looking it up.
Even at 10m/s, thats 41kN of force.
But they were herbivores…? The image shows bones in there
Those are the bones of its victims. Raptors dread the vom bomb
I was wondering if they were implying the force would be enough to kill smaller dinosaurs?
The idea is that the impact would have killed a little dromaeosaur
Maybe, but it’s weird they drew it as nothing left but bones though
Well someone cropped the part of this image where this maths experiment was inspired by trying to figure out how a small dinosaur died in a stranger crater.
That image is an outline of the fossil millions of years later, not a drawing of puke containing bones or a dinosaur getting instantly defleshed
Ahh that makes sense
Clearly they threw the bones up since they’re not meant to eat them
Honestly not that bad, tbh. You can easily beat those numbers with a hit from a car.
Not during the Jurassic period, they didn’t have cars.
Just commenting on the deadliness of 68,600 N in terms of a modern equivalent. People survive cars, raptors might survive vomit.
