Not to be obtuse, but as far as triangles go this is right.

That was acute pun.

Excuse me, that is a pyramid he's holding.

Also, I'm surprised there's no pyramid emoji...

But a pyramid with a triangular base

Oh my god, it's a pyramid scheme!

The proof is in the pudding inside that carafe.

Who puts pudding in a carafe?

Pythagoras.

The triangle in the background sky is Pascal's triangle.

Knowing Pythagoras he was into some pretty freaky stuff with triangles.

I feel like there’s a bearded triangle joke here somewhere but I can’t put my finger ~~in~~ on it.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

None of these triangles are right-angle triangles 📐

For the uninitiated, this is a quote that James Acaster attributes to Pythagoras in one of the shows from his series, Repertoire. I sadly can't seem to find a clip of it but that's the source

Over 90% of quotes attributed to Einstein were never actually said by Einstein.

You could even overdo it, smothering that triangle with clingy affection, as some sort of rare "sacred and perfect" thing, focusing only on some limited types of symmetries... the skin-deep ones.

Would Pythagoras have liked Hip to Be Square by Huey Lewis and the News or Pink Triangle by Weezer more? 🤔
