Thanks for letting me know that this part of the Simpsons movie hasn't been formative only for me lol

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Best part of the movie

If you look very closely you can actually see that it’s a cute angle.

Sometimes you're gonna drop something behind the couch and you'll be in dire need of a right angle cat.

I accidentally got the obtuse model. He's cute tho, sings a lot.

Cat's impossible geometry. Being obtuse and a cute at the same time

Oh if I remember my highschool math correctly this case only be proven one way... Angle Side Side.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Depends which way you look at it

The home depot near me ran out of these. I had to drive to the next town over just to find they only had them going the other direction. Guess my DIY project is on hold

Just get a square one and cut it in half.

Sheesh you wake up on the wrong side of the tomb, Solomon?

Cats do not obey the laws of physics

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago

Sure they do, just only the laws of fluid dynamics

transform: rotate(90deg);

Or the modern version:

rotate: 90deg;

Both variants should work on a cat, aibeit that's not their intended use.

purrpendicular to itself

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Nice argument, however, 90° angle

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 month ago

Allen cat! Likely the other cat needed assembly and they just included this one for free.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 1 month ago

Nice marmot
