This is a square in polar coordinates

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 18 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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

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!

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago

This has an infinite number of sides

[–] tiddy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 17 hours ago

270°≠90°

You could say a regular square has 4 270° exterior angles

This is what AI would give you after countless tries strating with a triangle and having gone up the Pentagon and down to two pairs of unconnected parallel lines.....but what if all equally sized lines were connected? Bam! This

[–] Hackworth@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Fun Fact: It is very difficult to get any of the image generators to make a pentagon.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I thought this couldn't be true, so using one of the newer models (4bit flux) I told it to make a 5 sided star, and then put lines around the outside

lol this is very weird, did they forbid it from looking at pentagons in the training data or something? it can't do The Pentagon either, it gives it 8-12 sides instead

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

When you miss one important constraint in your CAD project.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 day ago

Oh man I felt this.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 137 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (15 children)

Kinda forgot the sides being parallel part. Like missing a step in assembling IKEA furniture, its not gonna turn out right.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Those arc sides are parallel in polar coordinates.

[–] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 71 points 1 day ago

You don't normally need to specify that the sides are parallel if you specify four right angles.

Take that, Euclid!

Now make a square out of squiggly yarn

String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!

you geometry people go too far stop personifying vertexes, planes, and points math shouldn't be fun

Wouldn't the angles need to be interior?

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 173 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They are all interior to the meme

This is merely a projection of a square on the surface of a cone projected onto a plane.

Where are the broad, flat fingernals tho?

Easy there Diogenes.
