I call it swallowing a square because that's what it feels like to me.

Expecting that everyone else exists in the third dimension is kinda ableist tbh.

Swallowing a cube doesn't have quite the same ring to it as swallowing a square though!

There is a certain flow to it, certainly. 🤣

Oh man! I'd love it if there was a translation from German, Hungarian, Japanese, or the like that had this description for this. You nailed it.

German: Quadrat verschluckt Haitian Creole: vale yon kare Hawaiian: ale i ka huinaha Hungarian: nyelt egy négyzetet Icelandic : gleypti ferning Japanese: 四角を飲み込んだ (Shikaku o nomikonda) Scottish Gaelic : shluig e cearnag Ukranian: проковтнув квадрат (prokovtnuv kvadrat)

FWIW 🤷🏼‍♂️🤓
