    A square? A square?! Wake up sheeple! That things not even a rombus! Don’t you see the lies? Look at the lines! Look! Not all rhombuses are squares, but all squares are rhombuses! All squares are rhombuses and look at this thing they try to call a square. Where are the parallel lines? There’s got to be parallel lines, don’t you see, or then it’s not a rombus and all squares are rhombuses. Don’t forget that, don’t let them take that fact from you and perpetuate their geometric lies. Does no one even remember what a rombus is? This is, this is basic geometry here that you should have learned in middle school or elementary school, but then you just forget it, and let people trick you with these misleading definitions and fancy diagrams but you have to remember that a Square. Is. A. Rombus.

    This is what AI would give you after countless tries strating with a triangle and having gone up the Pentagon and down to two pairs of unconnected parallel lines…but what if all equally sized lines were connected? Bam! This

    A square has all right angles inside the structure. This thing has two inside and two outside.

      If you add that to the definition, you could still have a “square” with a segment of a circle connecting the edges in the middle

      But arent the ones from the circle 90 degrees on the inside of the circle as well? The squares could’ve just as well been placed on the other side of the (circle) lines.

        No, the two angles are not equal. Outside/inside angles add up to two π radians. A square has four interior angles of 1/2 π radians, and four exterior angles of 3/2 π radians.

        This is true, however now it has 4 inside and two outside the structure, so it now has something a square doesn’t has.

    Kinda forgot the sides being parallel part. Like missing a step in assembling IKEA furniture, its not gonna turn out right.

      Also pretty sure definition of a shape requires only one enclosed or contiguous area.

        This one is enclosed and contiguous though, the lines of the triangle end where the circular line starts. (The rest is just a drafting residue.)

          No, it is 2 contiguous regions. The line of separation is the bounding line of a “shape.”

          Otherwise, the entire whitespace outside of the region is also part of the shape, as is anything it touches.

              Well then the line of separation means nothing and then you’ve lost a right angle to the contiguous void.

                  Without a distinction of where the cube begins or ends it does not because there is no cube and there are no angles.

    Now make a square out of squiggly yarn

    String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!
