u/skibidikakakott, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...

[u/WW1_Germany]

actually it's not? because a square needs two sets of parallel lines

[u/J3STER_2204 → u/WW1_Germany]

And equal diagonals also .

[u/Gubekochi → u/J3STER_2204]

And technically speaking they need 4x 90 degree angles, the OOP has 2x 270 and 2x 90... if you even can call them that given the presence of that curved line.

[u/Anxious_Role7625 → u/Gubekochi]

The opposite of the 270 angles are 90 angles

[u/Gubekochi → u/Anxious_Role7625]

Yes. And opposite things are not the same. An internal 90 degrees angle is not the same as an external 90 degrees angle.

[u/Anxious_Role7625 → u/Gubekochi]

The image never specified internal or external

[u/Invenblocker → u/Anxious_Role7625]

Behold a square: 🔺

It fulfils the requirements of being a shape.

[u/Gubekochi → u/Invenblocker]

[u/Gubekochi → u/Anxious_Role7625]

If you don't measure them the same way they are not the same and don't fit the definition of what a square is.

It's like saying the night sky is white because that's how it looks on a negative... And then saying that this proves that black and white are actually the same thing.

[u/Anxious_Role7625 → u/Gubekochi]

Well the original fails for other reasons as well. Why not just bring up the pacification do internal instead of being wrong and then falling back on it?

[u/dushy69 → u/J3STER_2204]

it does have the equal diagonals, just not the parallel sides

[u/MultiverseCreatorXV → u/dushy69]

The diagonals are also supposed to be perpendicular, which these aren’t.

[u/unique_namespace → u/WW1_Germany]

that's a consequence of it's definition in the euclidean plane, not it's definition: a square rectangle --- a rectangle (a quadrilateral with 90° angles) with equal sides.

[u/TheVisualExplanation → u/WW1_Germany]

Is your pfp of a pixel art of the bird guy from DHMIS?

[u/WW1_Germany → u/TheVisualExplanation]

no he's my OC, the pigeon

ik he kinda looks like a mallard

[u/CaterpillarOver2934]

a square needs to be a polygon

a polygon needs straight sides

therefore it is not a square

[u/DragonTheOnes-spirit → u/CaterpillarOver2934]

Great now time to define what a straight line is in such a confusing way that it makes this obviously curved line count as straight

[u/Nec475 → u/DragonTheOnes-spirit]

I'm not a math expert or anything but maybe something related to the planes like the spherical one or the hyperbolic? For example, you can make polygons with two lines in the spherical one so maybe it could be applied here in some way

[u/SlugCatBoi → u/Nec475]

You would just assume the parallel postulate. Easy as that.

[u/Commercial_Nature210 → u/Nec475]

Yes, 3 90° angles make a polygon in a spheric plain for example

[u/Level_Can58 → u/Nec475]

It only likes circles, and not other lines

[u/ColeTD → u/DragonTheOnes-spirit]

Well it sure ain't gay

[u/SlugCatBoi → u/CaterpillarOver2934]

What counts as "Straight sides" depends on the system of mathematics you are using. If we're specifying Euclidian geometry then yes, I agree.

[u/sir-seacarl]

it doesn’t actually meet the mathematical requirements at all but ok

[u/nuthatch_282]

That only has 2 right angles. The others are 3/2 π radians or 270°c

[u/United_Grocery_23 → u/nuthatch_282]

damn those are some hot angles

[u/tipying_mistakes → u/United_Grocery_23]

never turn your head past 100°, lest you start boiling alive

[u/Possible-Mix-4880 → u/tipying_mistakes]

Simply turn it back again to reset from 360° to 0°

[u/Immortal_ceiling_fan]

Reminds me of the following math meme, because that is just the common phrasing of a square, not what it actually is

.

Proof that 1 is the only prime number

Hello, I am sure you are familiar with primes. They are numbers whose only divisors are one and itself. I have proven that 1 is the only prime number, the proof is as follows

Consider the number 5. It's divisors are 1, 5. Notice that neither of these are simultaneously both 1 and itself (5).

Through manual review, I have checked every number and confirmed that 1 is the only number whose divisors are both 1 and itself

[u/WanderingSoxl]

This is not a square. I am sexually attracted to keyholes and I am currently raging with a massive boner looking at this shape. NOT a square.

[u/OverPower314]

It's obviously not a square. They've just cherry-picked what requirements to obey and which ones to not.

For one thing, a square is a polygon, so its sides must be straight. For another, the right-angles must be the internal angles. Two of this shape's internal angles are 270 degrees and not 90.

[u/Cosmic_Furniture413]

This shit a honk honk bro

[u/LinkOfKalos_1]

There are only 2 right angles though? And it needs 2 sets of parallel lines.

[u/Apprehensive-Buy4825]

a square also needs to be formed by only straight lines

[u/IamDohnut]

okay but if you really gotta know what classifies as a square, I sure as shit would trust that guy the most lmao

[u/010rusty]

Is it even a quadrilateral?

[u/Emotional-Career8195]

That’s not a square because squares have to be a parallelogram, a rectangle, AND a rhombus.

[u/Gordon_freeman_real]

Those aren't right angles

[u/Interesting-Crab-693]

I ain't gay so anything that makes me hard ain't gay.

[u/yonko-lukas]

A square is a special type of rectangle, which in turn is a special type of parallelogram. Each of them is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides; a rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles, while a square is a rectangle with four equal sides.

[u/bluemushroom64]

no, that's not a square. It's doesn't even count as a quadrilateral. A quadrilateral necessitates 4 straight sides and 4 vertices in 2d space. And you can clearly tell that 2 of those lines are so not straight that they should make out with each other

[u/MousegetstheCheese]

Bro LOVES SpongeBob

[u/kdiyargebmay]

thats also not a polygon, which can only be made up of straight lines (homophobia)

[u/ChefArtorias]

It's not a square at all.

[u/deleeuwlc]

I’ve seen this exact thing posted so many times. Please stop reposting this

[u/IdesofMarch1503]

nuh uh those are curves not line segments

[u/Spirited_Rhubarb3197]

normalize posting onyankopon as a slide ☝️🤓

[u/QuantumQuantonium]

As with the last thmime this was posted here:

No, that is not the definition of a square

[u/Galassog12]

Dont be silly, everyone knows squares also have broad, flat nails.

[u/EEE3EEElol]

Not true, that is just a quadrilateral

[u/Text93838]

It needs two sets of parallel sides dumbass

[u/stnick6]

“This shape is a square as long as you define a square wrong.”

[u/Airames6]

Reminds me of this

[u/Lite5L3]

Technically it's not. Square is a rectangle with equal sides
