Rotate the cone towards you.

Now you see this. ๐Ÿคฏ

Didn't a square need broad nails or something?

Diogenes go home.

Oh let's get pedantic!

The curved edges technically have infinite "side".

[โ€“] hansolo@lemmy.today 16 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

....and a square has four interior 90 degree angles.

...and based on the infinite number of sides for a curved line aspect, the "90 degree" angles would all be +/- the limit as it approaches zero, so never truly 90 degrees but always an infinite fraction away.

Yeah, we gonna need more rigor on this one.

"A square is a shape made up of four equally long lines a, b, c, d where a is perpendicular to c and d and parallel to b. Each of these lines meet exactly two other lines at it's ends."

I'm not a mathematician so there might an odd case somewhere in there. Maybe it has to be confined to a shared plane?

[โ€“] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

Lines are infinitely long... do you mean line segments?

Wikipedia has a good enough definition: "It has four straight sides of equal length and four equal angles." Nice and simple.

[โ€“] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

So you're saying this is the outline of a square in the astral plane? Because it sounds like you're saying this is a square in the astral plane.

Someone knows more calculus than they are letting on...

[โ€“] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

Hey, I failed the highest level of calculus possible. Twice.

Not if this square is a projection of a curved surface

[โ€“] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If it is a projection, then there are more than two curved sides, which also begs credence to the interpretability of the angles they intersect.

[โ€“] danhab99@programming.dev 3 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Well angles between 3 points are always going to be angles. If your choose a different configuration of dimensional parameters you can effectively project a square from the 2D plane into this exact shape, then logically the angles would follow.

You lost me at 3 points. Could you dumb it down a bit?

Yo bro let's downscale everything to 2D then upscale it to infinity or something, everything is possible when you project to this demonic crystal justttt this way /s

Wrong. This is a definition of a [pizza] + [the extra peperoni from the other slices that got stuck to that slice because the cutting was imperfect]

Plus the table.

[โ€“] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Listen if they put a pepperoni in the center of the pie then a poor cut is clearly the least of our concerns

[โ€“] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Always put a pepperoni in the exact middle. It's like a wishbone, but for pizza. The person who gets the majority of the center pepperoni gets a wish.

A center pepperoni is asking for the center of your pie to be fucked up

Tut tut, all these maths books promoting unhealthy square shapes, real squares have curves.

[โ€“] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[โ€“] joel_feila@lemmy.world 81 points 17 hours ago

The interior angles need to be equal ๐Ÿค“
