When you miss one important constraint in your CAD project.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 year ago

Oh man I felt this.

Wouldn't the angles need to be interior?

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 186 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They are all interior to the meme

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 1 year ago

This meme seems to be in a 16:9 ratio making it a rectangle.

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 55 points 1 year ago (17 children)

also the sides must be straight

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 184 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It's 2024 now... Not everyone has to be straight anymore!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you want to claim you are a square, you need.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

WOW! just wow, do you hear yourself?

Polar coordinate straight

This is merely a projection of a square on the surface of a cone projected onto a plane.

Kinda forgot the sides being parallel part. Like missing a step in assembling IKEA furniture, its not gonna turn out right.

[–] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 84 points 1 year ago

You don't normally need to specify that the sides are parallel if you specify four right angles.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also pretty sure definition of a shape requires only one enclosed or contiguous area.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (13 children)

This one is enclosed and contiguous though, the lines of the triangle end where the circular line starts. (The rest is just a drafting residue.)

Out of 4 lines

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 62 points 1 year ago (7 children)

A square has all right angles inside the structure. This thing has two inside and two outside.

This has an infinite number of sides

This is what AI would give you after countless tries strating with a triangle and having gone up the Pentagon and down to two pairs of unconnected parallel lines.....but what if all equally sized lines were connected? Bam! This

[–] Hackworth@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fun Fact: It is very difficult to get any of the image generators to make a pentagon.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought this couldn't be true, so using one of the newer models (4bit flux) I told it to make a 5 sided star, and then put lines around the outside

lol this is very weird, did they forbid it from looking at pentagons in the training data or something? it can't do The Pentagon either, it gives it 8-12 sides instead

A square? A square?! Wake up sheeple! That things not even a rombus! Don't you see the lies? Look at the lines! Look! Not all rhombuses are squares, but all squares are rhombuses! All squares are rhombuses and look at this thing they try to call a square. Where are the parallel lines? There's got to be parallel lines, don't you see, or then it's not a rombus and all squares are rhombuses. Don't forget that, don't let them take that fact from you and perpetuate their geometric lies. Does no one even remember what a rombus is? This is, this is basic geometry here that you should have learned in middle school or elementary school, but then you just forget it, and let people trick you with these misleading definitions and fancy diagrams but you have to remember that a Square. Is. A. Rombus.

Poor Pac-Man does not look quite okay... :-(

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

That's a Pac-lapse.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

thinking outside the square

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now make a square out of squiggly yarn

String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!

270°≠90°

You could say a regular square has 4 270° exterior angles

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

This is a square in polar coordinates

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 19 points 1 year ago

Take that, Euclid!

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (7 children)

It's Pac-Man with a megaphone!

HOW ELMO, HOW?!?

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now construct it manually, no geogebra this time
