Sphere vs circle

[–] apotheotic 28 points 1 month ago

I mean, its representing a 3 dimensional object, so a lot of those "areas" are actually volumes which can stack "behind" one another

Neither does popcorn.

Only if you assume the object was round. I mean it was almost certainly meant to be round, but it could be right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If it was round it wouldn't have blown up!

[–] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Right? Round isn't what I'd think to call "a funny shape." Maybe some folks do though.

Why assume it started off as a sphere? Everything makes sense if it started off as an irregular blob.

[–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 month ago

It might well have started our as a sphere. But you also need to rotate pieces in the third dimension of you want to pay the sphere back together.

I wonder who's the artist behind the symbol

Looks almost like a human heart.
