People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Isn't a cube by definition a 3 dimensional object? If it were 4 dimensional, it would no longer be a cube.

[–] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Its a generalisation. A 4d cube is a shape that has the same length in all 4 dimensions. You can also talk of 5d cubes, 6d cubes, etc. These are commonly called n-cubes: a 4-cube is a 4d cube.

There are also 4D spheres, even though spheres are definitionally 3D. They are called n-spheres.
