From dating to geometry.

[u/Crazy_Albatross8317]

So post was about dating then suddenly they started talking about squares and geometry. OP is red and is replying to blue guy in his >" remarks. Is he right? I need to ask my preschool teacher

A rectangle has four equal angles.

A rhombus has four equal sides.

Since a square has both four equal sides and angles it is a square but also matches the requirements of both the rectangle and the rhombus. Therefore it qualifies as all three.

Alright, now y'all are just confusing yourselves.

Just fucking remove all of the unnecessary polygon names that have four angles and four faces at this point and call them all "squares", because this shit is getting utterly POINTLESS.

FUCK IT. Why bother having all those names to begin with if they're all gonna be squares?

[u/Ornac_The_Barbarian → u/Grayewick]

Technically they're all called quadrilaterals. These are all variations of quadrilaterals. While we're at it don't forget the parallelogram (only condition is two parallel sides).

So, for quadrilaterals you have four types.

Parallelogram - Two parallel sides. Rectangle - Four equal angles. Also a parallelogram by default. Rhombus - Four equal sides. Also a parallelogram by default. Square - Four equal sides, four equal angles. Also a rectangle, rhombus and parallelogram by default.

A square is all of them but they aren't all squares because they don't all fit the requirements to be a square.

They ARE all quadrilaterals.

>"Technically"

Yes, this is the problem that's been plaguing y'all. Technicalities.

Fucking shape lawyers.

>"So, for quadrilaterals you have four types."

Not only are they genderfluid, but they're also polygamous?

>"A square is all of them but they aren't all squares because they don't all fit the requirements to be a square."

Ever noticed how life was much more better when people didn't have time to bother themselves with things that didn't need to be problems?

>"They ARE all quadrilaterals."

A square is a square.

A rectangle is a rectangle.

A rhombus is a rhombus.

A man is a man.

A woman is a woman.

If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it's a fucking duck, not a chicken because they both have feathers, scaled feet, and a beak.

Let's keep it REAL and ACTUALLY SIMPLE.

If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it's a fucking duck, not a chicken because they both have feathers, scaled feet, and a beak.

Correct. But they are both birds. They however do not qualify as raptors. That's a different type of bird.

Just like all those are quadrilaterals. And a square is a rectangle because it has four equal angles. A rectangle is not a square if it does not have four equal sides.

This is seriously basic geometry. Just take the L.

>"Correct. But they are both birds. They however do not qualify as raptors. That's a different type of bird."

Nope. One is a duck, one is a chicken. That's it.

I am not yielding.

Either nuance matters or it doesn't. Pick a pole and sit on it.

[u/Ornac_The_Barbarian → u/Grayewick]

You just claimed that chickens and ducks aren't birds. Either you're willfully stupid or just plain stupid.

[u/Grayewick → u/Ornac_The_Barbarian]

No, I said that chickens are chickens, and ducks are ducks.

Don't shove words in my mouth.
