Oh let's get pedantic!

The curved edges technically have infinite "side".

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not if this square is a projection of a curved surface

[–] YiddishMcSquidish 4 points 1 hour 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.

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 3 points 1 hour ago (1 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?

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]

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 36 minutes ago

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

A pepperoni is a bell pepper. I have no idea why the USA chose to use this word to mean salami, instead of, you know, salami.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 5 minutes ago

Pepperoni and salami are totally different dude, you might as well be saying that Americans should just call their potatoes "yams". And you can get both of those sausages and many, many more on your pizza, often at the same time

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

You're thinking of peperoncino, a spiced chilli pepper also known as sweet Italian peppers. We still have salami in the US.

I'd guess pepperoni is called that because it's dried salami with pepper seasoning.

I found a link just randomly googling. https://www.thoughtco.com/you-say-pepperoni-3972377

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

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 76 points 11 hours ago

The interior angles need to be equal 🤓

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 51 points 11 hours ago (6 children)

Does no one understand this is a joke, talking about parallel lines and mathematical proofs is pointless when its a fucking meme

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's not pointless because you can laugh about a joke and then learn something about math.

They don't cancel each other out. They can be at the same place and still work on their own.

[–] weird@sub.wetshaving.social 12 points 3 hours ago

I love memes that are funny on their own, but also provide discussion material.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 5 points 3 hours ago

You're having fun wrong!!1one

Or the fun part.

[–] the_trash_man@lemmy.world 19 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Its wrong though so the joke falls flat

We do understand it's a meme and a joke. Just not a very good one, because one can easily poke holes into it.
