Lol. You really think you're some kind of authority or something. See, that is funny.
No, I'm just saying you're wrong. But it seems like you cannot take criticism.

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

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]

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?The [email protected] community fits great for this post.

Not if this square is a projection of a curved surface

Based on what expertise? Which criteria do you apply?
That meme is incorrect, and therefore it doesn't land for me and a lot of other people. You cannot say "you're wrong" on that.

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?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]No, it's an observation I made often enough, that factually incorrect jokes don't land and get picked apart.
I'm tired of this though. If you are satisfied with stupidity, fine. Keep laughing about dumb shit then. I'm out.

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.

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.

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.

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.
