That's a really good point.

It’s better known by its stage name, diamond.

A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn’t necessarily a square

Same with rhombus and diamond

A rhombus is a diamond, but a diamond isn’t necessarily a rhombus

Rhombus has to have four equal sides, a diamond does not.

I think most people would say a 2D shape that they’d call a diamond would have 4 equal sides.

I don’t think very many at all would call an elongated parallelogram a “diamond”.

If I took a traditional diamond shape and elongated just the bottom sides.

I feel like most would call it a diamond still. Specific term would be a kite. Many wouldn’t come up with that, though. It’s not an elongated parallelogram. It is not a rhombus.

“Diamonds” on bicycle playing cards have curved edges. They are not a rhombus because sides are not parallel. Most agree that it’s the classic diamond shape, though.

For me the shape I was thinking of was if you take a simplified 2D version of this 💎, with there being 4 sides, 2 pairs of equal sides but not 4 equal sides

I imagine what people are talking about here is this ♦️ sort of diamond.

I blame me not being a native speaker for thinking of diamon diamond

In practice, diamonds have equal sides.

In practice, diamonds are rocks.

💎 what I’m thinking

♦️what I imagine is meant by diamond here

Yeah, Shine on You Crazy Rhombus would never have been a hit.

Yeah there were dumb kids in my class too.

Yeah, apparently it’s mean to call them squares…

The liberal media has suppressed it.

Instructions unclear, making rectangles great again.

Unless you live in North Dakota, where the Rhombus Guys pizza chain is located. Pretty good pizza, though overpriced.

I disagree, N. Dakota doesn’t exist.

JFC, I just looked it up and I think the other guy is right. There are now 2 Dakotas somehow. What is the world coming to?!

Don’t trust maps, it’s a conspiracy.

Used to be we’d go there because they’d serve you a 10% IPA in a giant 32oz mug or whatever and charge you the same price as what JL Beers would for a 10oz of the same beer. It’s been at least 6 years since I’ve been in either of those because they are just so crazy overpriced now. I also don’t drink much anymore, but god damn that Lost Continent IPA was good.

North Dakota

Where is that?

North of South Dakota.

Just above sourh dakota

Good pizza in North Dakota?

Chicago, New York, and Detroit have entered the chat

I like how these cities are convinced that nobody else anywhere in the world has figured out how to put dough, cheese, and marinara sauce together in the proper ratio.

I have had pizza in Chicago and New York and it was good, but there is good pizza everywhere I have lived in the US. As long as its a local place its normally pretty good. It’s not that difficult to get right.

I’ve also had bad pizza in both Chicago and New York. There’s a lot of idiots dying on that hill.

Edit: a word

New Haven CT, best pizza fight me

I’d rather eat the pizza.

I love Pizza Hut. Please don’t kill me.

CT resident, new haven style is burned badly, the toppings are distributed at random, and there’s gigantic bubbles in the dough. You’re an hour and a half from NYC, just get a good pizza and stop pretending pepes and Sally’s aren’t shit.
