You said it wasn't a good joke, because one can easily poke holes into it.
This is not correct. Being able to easily pick apart a jokes doesn't automatically make it bad. Lots of good jokes will not pass that test either.
You not liking a joke based on that logic, is on you alone. But it's not an universal rule of jokes. Do you think you’re some kind of authority or something?

I'm tired of this though. If you are satisfied with stupidity, fine. Keep laughing about dumb shit then. I'm out.

Peperoni are bell peppers. I have no idea why the USA chose to use this word to mean salami, instead of, you know, salami.
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.

Well, it's factually correct that I've been having a laugh at your expense, so analyze that any way you want.

Not if this square is a projection of a curved surface
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.

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.

I'm sure there are more than a dozen and you are right. I'm still trying to get the hang of the whole fediverse thing, but so far most of the more niche communities I have tried to interact with are on different servers not federating with each other? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Not sure about that one.
Also not sure if cross-posting works. I mean I know it works, but do those posts federate correctly? Can other fediverse apps see them correctly?I thought it was funny, but maybe they have a point? I didn't even realize I was on the memes community, I just assumed this was on lemmyshitpost. I guess it's a stretch to call this joke a meme.

Honestly I have no idea what should and shouldn't be called a meme. In my friend groups this definitely qualifies as a meme, but lemmy is way bigger than my bubble so
.The best any of us can do is adjust based on feedback I guess.

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

You lost me at 3 points. Could you dumb it down a bit?
-
No, it isn't. A square is a plain, convex and regular quadrilateral with four internal right angles.
In that case, there's no need to specify anything about the angles. Or, the characterisation the meme is playing with: a shape with four straight sides of equal length and right angles. Adding parallel to the meme's version doesn't help.
I'm just tired of this thread. Not only do Lemmy users have this weird urge to show off their high school maths knowledge to dunk on a joke that obviously only works because OP played with the definition, but they're not even correct. The /r/mathmemes thread was much better.
-
It's not about taking it seriously. The meme wants to be a technically correct-meme, where a thing fulfills another things definition and thereby could be deemed the other thing - which creates the absurdity the meme lives off of. But in order for that kind of humour, there cannot be obvious holes in the logic of the joke and these obvious holes are very present in this meme.
Any maths joke of this type will have obvious holes in it, that's just how maths works
-
Diogenes plucked that chicken to point out Platon's definition of a human (being a bipedal, featherless animal) being flawed. This meme leaves out parts of the definition to enforce a joke. Two different situations.
Its similar enough, the definition is limited and therefore enables a joke to be made.

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

It's not similar, it's the exact opposite.

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
-
Oh let's get pedantic!
The curved edges technically have infinite "side".
....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.
-

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.

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

It still demonstrated what I was trying to say, that if you go too literal on these two jokes then you're missing the point

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