A square must also have two pairs of parallel sides.

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.

Does no one understand this is a joke, talking about parallel lines and mathematical proofs is pointless when its a fucking meme

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

The interior angles need to be equal

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.

Its wrong though so the joke falls flat

Its supposed to be absurd, taking it seriously makes the already bad joke even worse

Didn't realize jokes have to be literally correct

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.

Euclid's first postulate: Give two points, there exists exactly one straight line that includes both of them.
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? -
Can straight be defined in a nonlinear environment?
I would guess on a sphere these can be straight yes: The pole goes into the center of cicular thing and radius of the sphere needs to put the other arc on one latitude.

Counterexample: North and Southpole on Earth.

Someone never had to deal with mathematical proofs, only layman's definitions.
All properties of a parallelogram apply:
- Opposite sides are parallel
- Opposite sides are congruent
- Opposite angles are congruent
- Consecutive angles are supplementary
- Diagonals bisect each other
AND
- All angles are congruent
- All sides are congruent
- Diagonals are congruent
- Diagonals are perpendicular
- Diagonals bisect opposite angles
Of course, but such strict definitions only come about because smart people come up with examples like OP when you don’t add the full definition.

That's not how jokes work.

Depends on the joke.
