This image makes me angrier than it should. Those 4 “right angle” designations are all lies. You cannot have a curved line attached to anything and call it a “right angle”. It’s not. Like, factually. I don’t care if it’s 2 feet long, or 200,000 miles, it will never be exactly 90°, which invalidates the entire thing.
OK. Walk in a straight line for a couple of metres and stop. Rotate left or right by exactly 90°. Now take a curved path in any direction.
Did you or did you not turn 90°?
That doesn’t make the resultant diagram 90° at those vertices. That’s just empiricist stupidity.
OK, then what angle is it?
If it’s not a right angle, then what is it? Wouldn’t you just measure the angle between the tangent of the curve and the line? Working with the tangents is how you find the angle between two curves as far as I know. You say it will never be exactly 90 degrees, but it would be 90 degrees at exactly that point. That’s not a weird thing to say from a math perspective.
I think a bigger issue with this figure is that they’re using some internal and external angles for their count of 90 degree angles. (And that this is just a ridiculous twist on a square, lol.)
ah yes, ignoring that it should actuality be a polygon, implying a closed shape with straight sides much like this ignores the “weapon” and “used for thrusting or striking” parts of the definition.
not hard to make strange things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.
Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines
something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions with deliberately obtuse interpretations in pursuit of… checks notes… humor.
The idea isn’t literal, it’s to show that our language is entirely just noises that we’ve made into increasingly complicated levels of agreed-upon abstraction. We don’t mine words out of the Earth, we develop them to create clear explanations that we can all agree on, and yes, the more you peel away or dig in, the more challenging it can be to create words that encompass all variations of an idea.
Relax, take a deep breath<3
No. You can’t just put little boxes in the corner and call them right angles THERE ARE RULES WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY
But that’s correct in the image there - they are perpendicular or as you in the US call it “level”, they are all 90° and pweze pweze don’t forget you’re trying to be pedantic in a comments section of a stolen meme in a community called shitposting like just chill c:
It’s not pedantry, you just don’t know elementary level geometry.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle
Right angles must be comprised of two straight lines, and by also by similar definition a curved line can’t be perpendicular to fucking anything.
That angle can be 90 degrees at the point of intersection because of how angles in this case are measured but it is not a right angle or perpendicular. This why the definition of right angle is more complex than “a 90 degree angle.”
pedantic/pə-dăn′tĭk/
adjective
-
Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for academic knowledge and formal rules.
“a pedantic attention to details.”
You are very much correct in the fact that angles by definition are only present between straight lines. A secant line that is in the same plane as the circle and is crossing the centre of the circle is called it’s normal and a normal is by definition perpendicular. The meme was fun
It’s not pedantry, you’re just offensively ignorant.

I would totally forge a sword in Skyrim with the shortest blade possible (a nub) and name it “Pizza Cutter.”
And then cook it with Dragon Breath. This is the most peaceful resolution for Skyrim. And I still feel bad about all those plates I stole.
If Leonardo can use katanas to slice pizza, then I can use this (while pretending to be a turtle)
Can you pretend to know where pizza slices come from?
? I don’t get get it
I heard a comedian call these “infinity knives” a few years back, and now it’s all I can call them.
Best weapon in Lies of P.
I was going to ask which squenix protag this was, but your alt text answered that for me.
Why do they all have a certain look to them?
If it rains, their socks are pure funnels to get water into the boots
Diogenes ahh post.
Have you guys ever received a pizza cut into 9 slices? I have, and I just want to know why, and more importantly how.
I asked the pizza place to divide the pizza into 0 equal slices and about 20 minutes later there was a loud explosion from downtown. Never did get that pizza.
Rest in piece
How many piece???
Well it’s not infinitely long. It’s pi D’s long. With D being… well, let’s just say my “peanits”
It specifically says for thrusting or striking. That’s where the pizza cutter fails to pass as a sword. 😔
And the sheath
How can one sheath the unsheathable
IDK maybe they’re just really bad at cutting pizza.
No fucking way dude, that’s slashing damage.
Also if the pizza is really hot, it does burn damage to the roof of your mouth.
Thrusting or striking, you can definitely strike with a pizza sword so it match at least one definition.
You put the sharp edge on a surface and push forward to cut pizza. That IS thrusting.
I thought slashing but you might be right.
Why not? Honestly i kind of sick with fantasy only using double edged European longsword and Japanese katana.
Give something weirder dammit, like Chinese hook sword and indian katar.
A weapon ❌
Used for thrusting and striking ❌
I see you’ve never been penetrated by a pizza slicer
Tell that to pro wrestler, Nick Gage!
Long metal blade ❌
walking around in Dark Souls 4
Find a giant pizza cutter
I don’t know if this is a joke or not. Elden Ring has Ghiza’s Wheel as a weapon and is low-key considered “Dark Souls 4” by many fans.
Its AoW spinning wheel is so trash, I wish it were better so a pizzaiolo build with Ghiza‘s wheel and spinning discus incantations was viable
That’s not infinitely long, it’s infinitesimally long.
