Wouldn't the angles need to be interior?

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 115 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They are all interior to the meme

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 week ago

This meme seems to be in a 16:9 ratio making it a rectangle.

also the sides must be straight

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 99 points 1 week ago

It's 2024 now... Not everyone has to be straight anymore!

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 week ago

Polar coordinate straight

[–] Rinox@feddit.it 3 points 6 days ago

I knew math was homophobic!

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

This is also not a polygon. It has infinite and 2 sides at the same time.

[–] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago

This actually has six right angles if you include exterior ones.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 45 points 6 days ago

A square has all right angles inside the structure. This thing has two inside and two outside.

A square? A square?! Wake up sheeple! That things not even a rombus! Don't you see the lies? Look at the lines! Look! Not all rhombuses are squares, but all squares are rhombuses! All squares are rhombuses and look at this thing they try to call a square. Where are the parallel lines? There's got to be parallel lines, don't you see, or then it's not a rombus and all squares are rhombuses. Don't forget that, don't let them take that fact from you and perpetuate their geometric lies. Does no one even remember what a rombus is? This is, this is basic geometry here that you should have learned in middle school or elementary school, but then you just forget it, and let people trick you with these misleading definitions and fancy diagrams but you have to remember that a Square. Is. A. Rombus.

[–] cram42@mander.xyz 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And all rhombus are parallelograms. By definition opposing sides must be parallel.

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

YES. YES! A square is a rombus is a parallelogram! You see it too! There are no parallels in this diagram, only lies and trickery!

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago

You have shown me the truth

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 16 points 1 week ago

Poor Pac-Man does not look quite okay... :-(

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Now make a square out of squiggly yarn

String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

HOW ELMO, HOW?!?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 11 points 6 days ago

Take that, Euclid!

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is a corner with an angle of 180 degrees a corner? If yes, then all shapes have infinite corners and infinite edges.

[–] jdeath@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

free real estate

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Does this even meet the criteria for "a shape"? I'd have thought you need to be able to travel from any point within the shape to any other point, without crossing a line.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The classic cartoon star shape isn't a shape with that rule. Same wth a crescent

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know what a french pastry has to do with this.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Are you sure about that?

A crescent-shaped croissant

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Huh? Of course it is. A star is, so long as you don’t draw it out of two interlocking triangles, or construct it from 5 straight lines, and leave the internal parts of those lines intact. A crescent just…is. Unless you’re trying to claim the stars that sometimes appear with a crescent (e.g. on some Islamic country’s flags) are a part of the crescent itself.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 6 days ago

Wait, you don't mean the line has to be straight? If that's what you mean, I'm fairly sure the internal lines in the post are only there as construction. The section of the triangle that's inside the smaller circle is just there to show dimensions, so it's drawn (slightly) thinner than the external lines

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Concave shape vs convex shape

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Uhh, no. A crescent is a classic concave shape, but you can travel from any point to any other in a crescent without crossing a line, because it’s a single enclosed shape.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ik exactly what this means but every single time I read it it makes me do the Micheal Jackson thing...

TEE-HEE

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Aah, thanks. But I'll keep reading it properly, as TEE-HEE.

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

Could be a square in a two dimensional space with different rules.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago

It makes me want to be angry and laugh at the same time

[–] CaptainHowdy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wat. There are three sides my dudes. What am I missing?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 10 points 1 week ago

The semi circle side

That music is just too darn loud
