Important distinction: A triangle is a three-sided polygon. For example, a quarter-circle is not a triangle, despite being a three-sided shape.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.

You didn't start with "Akchually"!
Where's the PROOF?
Bend over and drop your pants, I will dig it out real quick like
I'm on Lemmy so you know I'm already in the bathroom.
Nice, nitrile, or latex?
Polygon is defined by straight lines?
a polygon (/ˈpɒlɪɡɒn/) is a plane figure made up of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain.
Appears so
They should have included something about the count of angles in the name
A quarter circle still has three angles. I am pretty sure about this. Now that I think of it, I think it has three 90° angles, which is kinda sus.
The curved part has infinite angles
If you want to go that way, the straight parts have infinite angles too.
They don't
They're just arcs from an infinite radius circle.
Is it even mathematically legal to allow impossible shapes into this type of dilemma?
believe it or not, straight to math jail
#BONK*!!*
In 5D conformal geometric algebra G (4,1), a sphere can contain a point at infinity, and therefore represents a flat plane.
Those angles are just 180° (:
The aforementioned quarter circle also has 3 angles.
"Count of Angles" sounds like some alternate universe tarot card.
Tale of how anon forgot to take his meds
I can't imagine putting an seven-year-old on antipsychotics
