ah yes, ignoring that is actuality a polygon, implying a closed shape with straight sides much like this ignores the “weapon” and “used for thrusting or striking” parts of the definition.
not hard to make things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.
pyre@lemmy.world 2 months ago
something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions in pursuit of… checks notes… humor.
ameancow@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The idea isn’t literal, it’s to show that our language is entirely just noises that we’ve made into increasingly complicated levels of agreed-upon abstraction.

Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines
Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 months ago
This image makes me angrier than it should. Those 4 “right angle” designations are all lies. You cannot have a curved line attached to anything and call it a “right angle”. It’s not. Like, factually. I don’t care if it’s 2 feet long, or 200,000 miles, it will never be exactly 90°, which invalidates the entire thing.
letsgo@lemm.ee 2 months ago
OK. Walk in a straight line for a couple of metres and stop. Rotate left or right by exactly 90°. Now take a curved path in any direction.
Did you or did you not turn 90°?
Abnorc@lemm.ee 2 months ago
If it’s not a right angle, then what is it? Wouldn’t you just measure the angle between the tangent of the curve and the line? Working with the tangents is how you find the angle between two curves as far as I know. You say it will never be exactly 90 degrees, but it would be 90 degrees at exactly that point. That’s not a weird thing to say from a math perspective.

This is not a parallelogram and is therefore not a square

I was going to ask which squeenix protag this was, but your alt text answered that for me.
Why do they all have a certain look to them?

If Leonardo can use katanas to slice pizze, then I can use this.

A sword by definition has a “pointed blade” accordingly any object with an infinitely long blade cannot be a sword. Rather, it’s a blade ray.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 months ago
it does have a point. look at the blade from the side.
pointy bit goes into the pizza.
ultrafastsloth@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Instructions unclear, pizza cutter stuck in pants and now I am circumferenced
rockerface@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Swords without a sharpened point had existed. You could only use them for cutting, not thrusting.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was going to define this as an axe
LordGimp@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Well it’s not infinitely long. It’s pi D’s long. With D being… well, let’s just say my “peanits”
dan1101@lemm.ee 2 months ago
That blade is not infinitely long unless you measure the same part over and over again.
0ops@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Fr, what happened to 2πr?
RaptorBenn@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Im not sure what defines a strike but im pretty sure you wouldnt thrust a pizza cutter. If we’re being technical, it doesnt meet the whole definition.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I have used it this way to cut through some really crusty pizza.
strikes are possible.
jimmux@programming.dev 2 months ago
I heard a comedian call these “infinity knives” a few years back, and now it’s all I can call them.
Etterra@discuss.online 2 months ago
No that’s a pretty finite length, even if you have to measure the atoms to do it.
slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 2 months ago
It’s also not length but circumference.
turtlesareneat@discuss.online 2 months ago
You don’t need to leave the kitchen, just need a pi
Etterra@discuss.online 2 months ago
Wait. Of the blade or the whole thing?

Diogenes ahh post.
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I would totally forge a sword in Skyrim with the shortest blade possible (a nub) and name it “Pizza Cutter.”
jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
And then cook it with Dragon Breath. This is the most peaceful resolution for Skyrim. And I still feel bad about all those plates I stole.

Find a giant pizza cutter
tmyakal@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I don’t know if this is a joke or not. Elden Ring has Ghiza’s Wheel as a weapon and is low-key considered “Dark Souls 4” by many fans.
EldenLord@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Its AoW spinning wheel is so trash, I wish it were better so a pizzaiolo build with Ghiza‘s wheel and spinning discus incantations was viable

JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s not infinitely long, it’s infinitesimally long.

Why not? Honestly i kind of sick with fantasy only using double edged European longsword and Japanese katana.
Give something weirder dammit, like Chinese hook sword and indian katar.

bluewing@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I have used a pizza cutter to cut more than one pizza. I have also wielded a sword, (Ren Fair and fought a dual), and cut pizza with it. I have also field dressed a couple of deer and cut a few pizzas, (along with apples and sandwiches) with a Victorinox Classic keychain pocket knife over the years.
Of the 3 pieces of cutlery, I find the Victorinox Classic to be the most useful.

Yo. New Diogenes just dropped.
whostosay@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Have you guys ever received a pizza cut into 9 slices? I have, and I just want to know why, and more importantly how.
ameancow@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I asked the pizza place to divide the pizza into 0 equal slices and about 20 minutes later there was a loud explosion from downtown. Never did get that pizza.

HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
A kid in the show Happy Face tries to bring one to school as a weapon. The parents talk about it after he leaves and think it’s funny he considered that to be a weapon.
burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 2 months ago
the pizza cutters i have experienced in my pizza career often fail to cut through the pizza

Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
It specifically says for thrusting or striking. That’s where the pizza cutter fails to pass as a sword. 😔
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
IDK maybe they’re just really bad at cutting pizza.
whostosay@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No fucking way dude, that’s slashing damage.
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You put the sharp edge on a surface and push forward to cut pizza. That IS thrusting.
whostosay@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I thought slashing but you might be right.
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Thrusting or striking, you can definitely strike with a pizza sword so it match at least one definition.
