minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink39•5 months agoIdk, this really doesn’t have to do anything with Pythagora’s Theorem
minus-squareTransporter Room 3linkfedilink22•5 months agoBeyond the general “hehe funny meme” Some seem to think there’s some kind of math going on in people’s heads other than “shortcut” The knowledge of Pythagoras or math doesn’t factor in here at all. Toddlers do this. Having the knowledge just gives you fancy words for the resulting coincidental shape.
minus-squareTimeSquirrellinkfedilink6•edit-25 months ago Having the knowledge just gives you fancy words for the resulting coincidental shape. Isn’t that basically all of physics? Just an abstract concept to describe something that sort of fits the rules we extrapolated from observations so far.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•5 months agoYeah, somebody once explained this to me like “even stupid animals go directly at where they want to go”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•5 months agoIt’s also a straight line between points, so nobody really cares just how much shorter it is.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•5 months agoYeah, true. No Euclidean distances implicit to this problem. Oh, wait…
minus-squareDessalineslinkfedilink3•5 months agoYeah… this is just “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line”

The way is sqr(2)=1.4 instead of 2.
It’s also a straight line between points, so nobody really cares just how much shorter it is.
Yeah, it’s just the triangle inequality.
