In my culture, rhombus is the basis of a vagina pictogram. In my culture, rhombus is every schoolboy's favorite shape.

    This is amazing and thank you for sharing. The ability of the human race to come up with different yet universally understood yonic symbols is heartening. Like no matter what place or time, we're all in this together and we will be drawing genitalia.

    Hell my dude there's a cave people deliberately carved to look like a vag and it's incredibly detailed.

    Humans just seem to love genitals to an alarming but understandable degree

    That's actually amazing I love that just a diamond with a line in the middle is shorthand for vagina, it's so universal too I bet if you showed that to any human they'd eventually guess the meaning.

    Every square you ever met is a rhombus that gave up its art career and got a boring 9-5.

    They would be parallelograms if all 4 sides didn't have the same length. But they do, so it's rhombus.

    Isn't a rhombus just what you call a diamond that's having a bad day?

    If I ever have my own home, my house will have a rhombus room.

    Every 3 ft square box that you shoved a bunch of 3.25 ft long irregularly shaped items into then closed the flaps on is a rhombus.

    Take a square. Lean it to the side. Rhombus. Take a diamond, let it fall on one of its sides. Rhombus. The world just keeps a-rhombusin, you just stopped a-noticin'

    Fun Fact, many door frames are in fact rhomboid or trapezoidal.

    A square is both a rhombus and a trapezoid too

    The word "rhomboidal" exists and you are allowed to use it as much as you like

    It's also called diamond or zoomie square. You know, cuz it's like a square that's going so fast the pointy parts start at the tippy top

    Imagine living as a farmer in medieval Europe near a small village and you make MOST of your shit yourself or with help from the local blacksmith. You'd use all kinds of things and ideas that we don't use any more. You need to be creative to solve your daily problems and find ways to do stuff efficiently. Like imagine you'd need to dig out a bit of earth for an "almost square" and need to calculate the area and volume of earth you'll have to move.

    I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, but I think modern education is wasted on the modern human.

    We are not curious enough. Dopamine hit of figuring out a cool thing requires lots of time, meanwhle videogames and movies are guaranteed in short term.

    We are not to blame tho, time to spend bored is simply not something we have; every other moment of our life will be either at work, preparing to go work, or driving to work, afterall.

    I predict the farmer dug that square on snow instead of dirt. They certainly weren't farming during mid-winter. Must be boring. I will still be labeling amazon boxes this december.

    The point of the modern grade school education is to give any and every student enough of a education in any given topic to specialize in any field afterwards, depending on interest and opportunities, as well as create voting citizens that can understand at least the basics of any given social debate.

    Modern education isn't wasted. Some people just waste it afterwards.

    And some people who want to destroy it to keep everyone as ignorant as your medieval peasants pretend that they don't understand any of that.

    Also smiths would literally just do that on vibes lmao.

    They're not really mentioned in more advanced math. It's all polygons.

    Ok, triangles are often treated as a special case. But for anything else it's a n-sided polygon.

    It's not even doing math, just watching science videos etc. is enough to hear the word every now and then. This is surely a person who has no interest in learning overall.

    Rhombuses are really commonly used in trigonometry puzzles. You know, "Here's a bunch of lines and a couple of angles, find the angle at X."

    There is an evil invasive plant called Sida rhombifolia that invades local habitats and is obnoxious to pull over here. Guess what shape the leaves are

    edit: Acalypha rhomboidea is on the side of justice here though
