Well the text in the image of the "definition" of a square is clearly tailored to fit this joke, thats why the logic of what a square actually is doesn't apply. Its like telling Diogenes that his chicken is not technically a human because it doesn't have two hands and a nose.
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.

No it doesn't. Right angles + equal length is a sufficient condition
No, it isn't. A square is a plain, convex and regular quadrilateral with four internal right angles.
-
Solution:
Explanation:
-
in order for the straight lines to be 90 deg with the circles, they must be radii of circles with same central point
-
the length of an arc is defined as c = r * θ (where r is the radius, and θ is the angle)
-
we define the inner circle with radius r₁ and its arc L₁ = r₁ * θ₁
-
we define the outer circle with radius r₂ and its arc L₂ = r₂ * θ₂
-
Because of (1), θ₁ + θ₂ = 2π
-
To create the shape, L₁ = L₂ = r₂ - r₁
If you start replacing and solving, you will get a 2nd grade quadratic, which has a positive and a negative solution. The positive solution is that magic number.
Why point (5)?

Didn't realize jokes have to be literally correct
Just the good ones.

Thanks, I hate it.

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

Depends on the joke.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]No, it depends on if you have humor. Yes, humor is individual, I know. But people without tend to over analyze and try to pick the joke apart, often missing the point.
A joke doesn't have to pass every technicality. You thinking it's bad if it doesn't, only applies to your humor (or lack there of).

Ooh, watch out, the humor police is here! Everything the deem funny is humor and if you don't find funny what they do you don't even have humor! Wee-ooo wee-ooo!

It's not pointless because you can laugh about a joke and then learn something about math.
They don't cancel each other out. They can be at the same place and still work on their own.

I love memes that are funny on their own, but also provide discussion material.

I can be presented with a bad joke without the urge to pick it apart. You couldn't. Just saying.

Coincidentally also the logo of [email protected].

What criticism?

The joke being critiziced.

Tut tut, all these maths books promoting unhealthy square shapes, real squares have curves.

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 your post was funny

It's not my joke, so I couldn't care less. I'm talking about jokes in general and the fact that you don't understand how it works.
