I've got an even better one: the circle! Yes, it predates even the enigmatic hexagram! Want your mind blown? Even the Universe follows its laws! Look into the sky and behold the moon! In the holy shape of the circle....

Aww, shit. I can't keep this crap going for long before I lose interest in mocking these asshats.

Oh man, wait until I tell you about lines. They can be straight, or curved. Curved enough, they make a circle. Three straight ones, and you get a triangle. And they'refucking everywhere.

They can even have varying length and girth!

I know something else that has varying length and girth

Glad it's not just me who gets irrationally annoyed when it turns out being dangerously stupid is hard, if you're not incredibly stupid.

Thank you for calling the moon a circle and not a sphere.

Note: there are no triangular celestial bodies.

There's the Triganic Pu...

The Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change.

Are you suggesting the circles might be cones? Eg, triangles from the side?

[-] sxan@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago

Of course it's a circle; it's a flat disk, just like the Earth.
