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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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

You didn't start with "Akchually"!

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?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you want to go that way, the straight parts have infinite angles too.

They're just arcs from an infinite radius circle.

Is it even mathematically legal to allow impossible shapes into this type of dilemma?

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

believe it or not, straight to math jail

In 5D conformal geometric algebra G (4,1), a sphere can contain a point at infinity, and therefore represents a flat plane.

[–] lostme@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Those angles are just 180° (:

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The aforementioned quarter circle also has 3 angles.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

"Count of Angles" sounds like some alternate universe tarot card.
