[blue character points at a square] We've done a peer reviewed study, and concluded that all squares have four sides

[annoyed orange character points at a diamond shape] This is objectively wrong, I've personally seen a four sided structure that isn't a square

My teacher used to tell us that all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 35 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's wrong. The yellow figure is not a rectangle.

All squares are diamonds but not all diamonds are yellow

[–] xintrik@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a lie, I have personally seen an orange diamond.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah but he said they weren't all yellow so there is room for other colors.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's fallacious. I have personally only seen shades of yellow ranging from sea-yellow to grass-yellow

Wait, are you being serious? Because if so that wasn't the point of my comment

They're being annoyed orange character

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

This was my initial thought. I hope you're correct.

Isn't that the president of some country?

[–] Chowtime3688@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's annoying, not annoyed.

Ok cool. That was my initial thought, but you can never tell these days
