This person hasn't done math past elementary.

They're not really mentioned in more advanced math. It's all polygons.

Ok, triangles are often treated as a special case. But for anything else it's a n-sided polygon.

It's not even doing math, just watching science videos etc. is enough to hear the word every now and then. This is surely a person who has no interest in learning overall.

A rhombus, otherwise known as a diamond. Its one of the more popular shapes past star, triangle, circle, and square.

If I ever have my own home, my house will have a rhombus room.

"Don't you mean a rumpus room?"

Bro, that's not even a real shape.

Isn't a rhombus just what you call a diamond that's having a bad day?

I changed my excel cells to be rhombuses

[–] Wunz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does it still work on vertical rows and columns, or are they both diagonal now?

Fun word for you, the up-down-left-right set of directions can be referred to as "orthogonal" - think "orthodox".

They were still around in 1996.

You know what they say, all busses go to Rhome

A rhombus sounds like a dance, lol

[–] twitchingbits@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you're thinking of the rumba

[–] sydd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Not to be confused with the shitty robot vacuum.

There is an evil invasive plant called Sida rhombifolia that invades local habitats and is obnoxious to pull over here. Guess what shape the leaves are

edit: Acalypha rhomboidea is on the side of justice here though

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 15 points 3 days ago

Some pretty rhombus logic if you ask me

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

Every 3 ft square box that you shoved a bunch of 3.25 ft long irregularly shaped items into then closed the flaps on is a rhombus.

Fun Fact, many door frames are in fact rhomboid or trapezoidal.

When I played "Psychonauts: In the Rhombus of Ruin" I got reminded again that this thing actually exists.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 6 points 2 days ago

Rhombuses are really commonly used in trigonometry puzzles. You know, "Here's a bunch of lines and a couple of angles, find the angle at X."
