my jaw dropped in real life when that marketing exec said that a big pizza was “about sex”

[@glyph1869]

This is super late, but it's worth noting: That's not even a marketing exec, I don't think. It's an outside commentator and 'futurist' that Michael Dresser brought in.

[@iminer978]

Everything is about sex, except for sex, which is about pizza.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

I don’t know about you, but “pizza is dangerous now because of the AIDS crisis” was not the take I was prepared for today.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT USE ROUND, CHEESY & WARM TO DESCRIBE A WOMAN

Griffin:"I got big rhombus energy." Me, a non-binary/Agender: "👁️👄👁️"

A square is a type of rhombus. Perhaps you are a dot or something? I’d say line but those are the girls in flatland so it feels kind of misgendery to call you as such

Fun fact: Gustav Klimt used circles and rectangles to denote female versus male body movements (respectively) in many of his works, particularly “The Kiss”, which features the ambiguous covered forms of an embracing man and woman

Any pizza with as many slices as the number of inches in the diameter will be pi inches at the crust right?

[@cyberbrunk]

this mathematical relation is now known as Sagrillo's Law

[@leaffinite3828]

It is a rectangle, does this change anything

[@shawnaeatscats]

But if it were a circle, yes. Roughly 3 inches at the crust.

[@shawnaeatscats]

[@crabdad4087]

BIIIIG RHOMBUS ENERGY OVER HERE

[@Crossark1]

Griffin did math bad with his incredulous, “Each slice is one inch,” comment. You see, 30” is the *diameter* of the pizza, and the circumference of a circle is pi(diameter). In case you’re curious, that works out to about 94.25” of pizza circumference. Since there are thirty slices, each slice has a maximum width of about pi (3.1416) inches at the crust, assuming they’re all cut evenly. Talk about a big pizza pi!

[@Crossark1]

Of course, the width at the crust isn’t really the most important factor here. You don’t just eat the crust of a pizza unless you’re a certifiable sociopath. The AREA is what we should be considering (Pi*r^2, as we all know). With a radius of 15”, that works out to roughly 706.85 square inches of pizza in total - which means each slice contains about 1/30 of the total area, or ~23.56 in.^2. Imagine eating nearly two feet of pizza in a single slice. That’s an unholy amount of pizza.

[@honkhonkhonkhonk2334]

bro I'm sorry to do this to you literally two years later but isn't this specific pizza NOT a circle?
