Philosoraptor

Once upon a prehistoric time—well, 2009, to be exact—the Philosoraptor burst onto the internet like a velociraptor on a brainstorming bender! This meme, featuring a pensive raptor with a claw to its chin, was born from a clever mashup by Sam Smith, creator of the "Velociraptor Awareness" t-shirt line. Smith’s design, meant to humorously "raise awareness" of sneaky dinos, got a philosophical twist when meme-makers paired it with deep, absurd questions like, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one’s around, does it still make a sound?”
