    Dammit Diogenes, this is why we don't allow you in the geometry class anymore.

      Can straight be defined in a nonlinear environment?

      Euclid's first postulate: Give two points, there exists exactly one straight line that includes both of them.

        And for those who don't: Plato, a Greek philosopher, was putatively asked by a student while teaching at the Academy what the definition of a man (human) was. Plato responded that a man is a "featherless biped".

        Diogenes, another Greek philosopher and infamous quick-wit, caught wind of this and thought that was the dumbest thing ever, so he gate-crashed one of Plato's lectures and pulled out a chicken which had all of its feathers plucked out and said "Behold, a man!".

          I get downvoted for bringing it up, but for fuck's sake you're dumping literally everything into this community regardless of the fit. There are a dozen (I'm estimating) other communities that could benefit from the content you post but you have thus far insisted on only posting here.

          Can you at least make the tiniest effort to spread content to other communities that would benefit from the increased views and potential subscriptions?

          I shall await the fun police and everything's a meme comments.

                Thank you for calling it out. Had a look at post history and I agree, blocked. Lemmy is attracting all sorts of random noise lately.

                      These are parallel too. They just look that way because they are project on to the euclidean plain.

                          Calculus can find you two pairs of parallel sides, right there on the circle!

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

                                    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.

                                      This only applies in 2nd order real space. Euclidean geometry aside, I agree with at least one line could exist between two points

                                        No it doesn't. Right angles + equal length is a sufficient condition

                                          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?
