IDK maybe they're just really bad at cutting pizza.

Also if the pizza is really hot, it does burn damage to the roof of your mouth.

You put the sharp edge on a surface and push forward to cut pizza. That IS thrusting.

27

Thrusting or striking, you can definitely strike with a pizza sword so it match at least one definition.

17
lemmy.world

ah yes, ignoring that it should actuality be 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 strange things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.

16

something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions with deliberately obtuse interpretations in pursuit of... checks notes... humor.

No. You can't just put little boxes in the corner and call them right angles THERE ARE RULES WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

But that's correct in the image there - they are perpendicular or as you in the US call it "level", they are all 90° and pweze pweze don't forget you're trying to be pedantic in a comments section of a stolen meme in a community called shitposting like just chill c:

It's not pedantry, you just don't know elementary level geometry.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle

Right angles must be comprised of two straight lines, and by also by similar definition a curved line can't be perpendicular to fucking anything.

That angle can be 90 degrees at the point of intersection because of how angles in this case are measured but it is not a right angle or perpendicular. This why the definition of right angle is more complex than "a 90 degree angle."

pedantic/pə-dăn′tĭk/

adjective

  1. Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for academic knowledge and formal rules.

    "a pedantic attention to details."

You are very much correct in the fact that angles by definition are only present between straight lines. A secant line that is in the same plane as the circle and is crossing the centre of the circle is called it's normal and a normal is by definition perpendicular. The meme was fun

Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines

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.

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°?

That doesn't make the resultant diagram 90° at those vertices. That's just empiricist stupidity.

A weapon ❌

Used for thrusting and striking ❌

I was going to ask which squenix 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 pizza, then I can use this (while pretending to be a turtle)

Can you pretend to know where pizza slices come from?

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.

16
lemmy.world

it does have a point. look at the blade from the side.

pointy bit goes into the pizza.

Instructions unclear, pizza cutter stuck in pants and now I am circumferenced

Swords without a sharpened point had existed. You could only use them for cutting, not thrusting.

1

Well it's not infinitely long. It's pi D's long. With D being.. well, let's just say my "peanits"

13

I heard a comedian call these "infinity knives" a few years back, and now it's all I can call them.

12
lemmy.world

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.

12
lemm.ee

That blade is not infinitely long unless you measure the same part over and over again.

12
discuss.online

No that's a pretty finite length, even if you have to measure the atoms to do it.

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.

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

I would totally forge a sword in Skyrim with the shortest blade possible (a nub) and name it “Pizza Cutter.”

6

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.

2

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.

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.

Have you guys ever received a pizza cut into 9 slices? I have, and I just want to know why, and more importantly how.

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.
