They did the math.

  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. 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.

  Are we sure they could vomit?

  • thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    not sure, but 2 seconds is thinking about living animals tells us that that would probably bend over first.

    • Zip2@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      And 2 more seconds and you start wondering how many pints it would take.

    Maybe not projectile vomit but they absolutely could reverse peristalsis just like any vertebrate. Giraffes chew their cud while upright after all. Peristalsis is agnostic to how high it’s pumping, since there is no functional loss in strength.

      AFAIK Horses cannot vomit, and I also was told that mice and rats cannot vomit.

    A question I never thought I’d want to have the answer to.

    Do birds vomit?

    • Shaggy1050@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      They feed their young through regurgitation so they do have the ability!

• Binette@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  What’s even scarier is that it used that amount of strength to bring the vomit up

  Is friction really negligible here?

  source

  • xthexder@l.sw0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    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

  • HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Those are the bones of its victims. Raptors dread the vom bomb

  • Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I was wondering if they were implying the force would be enough to kill smaller dinosaurs?

    source
  • TheOctonaut@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    The idea is that the impact would have killed a little dromaeosaur

    source

    • TrickDacy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Maybe, but it’s weird they drew it as nothing left but bones though

    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.

  Thats also roughly the amount of force the Brachiosaurus would need to exert with just stomach and throat muscles to get the vomit up that high. I think they wouldn’t be able to do that and would constantly get heart burn in their 30’ esophagus.

  Much more likely is that they lowered their heads in humiliation and let the vomit slide all that way out.
