    TIL Pizza is a cylinder

    source
    • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s a very flat cylinder, but a cylinder nevertheless.

      source
    • ericisshort@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Cylinders prefer to be called thicc circles.

      Like a round toast with stuff on it

        Let’s face it, pizza is an open face sandwich.

      You need to learn your shapes.

      source
  • FatTony@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But the mathematical variable name for radius is r. So it should be Pirra.

        No no, I have heard better excuses than that. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna have a slice of Volume thank you very much.

    Pizza gets better as “a” approaches zero.

      One molecule-thin crust pizza coming up!

      source
      • nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        One molecule is thick af, with no extra Cs. Sexy Limits don’t stop just because our feeble reality has size limits.

      But if a = 0 then PiZZa = PiZZ * 0 = 0

      source
      • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        But it’s approaching zero. It never becomes zero. 😙👌

      Thin crust + thin toppings.

    • Liz@midwest.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Extremely wrong. The ideal A:Z ratio is more like 1:4.

        That’s just a bread loaf with cheese in top

    The a is for altura, which is height in Spanish and therefore probably also in Italian

    source
    • subwoofer@lemmy.gockandgum.party ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      In Italian it’s “altezza” but in this case the better word is “spessore” which means thickness

        Pizza’s thicc

        source
  • tjsauce@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It would be 2PiZA, since ZZ is Z squared

    source
    • Crozekiel@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Wat? It is supposed to be squared though…

      source
    • reattach@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That would be the surface area of the crust, not the volume

      source
      • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        How does that work out? It doesn’t take into account how large the crust is in relation to the rest of the pizza.

      2 Pizza? That’s even better.

      source

        It’s a 2-for-1 deal! Like Little Caesar’s! Pizza pizza.

    Here I thought it was because of Personal Investigator Z.Z. Andersen

    The parenthesis are pointless. Exponents go first, but multiplication doesn’t care about order, and there is only multiplication going on.

    source
    • smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They could be used to separate two letter symbol (Pi) from one letter symbol (Z, Z, a)

      source
    • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The parentheses are for clarification and thus not pointless. Know your audience. 🙂👍

      source
      • MotoAsh@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Clarification of what? The joke doesn’t need them and neither does the math.

    This is the absolute ONLY case where it’s acceptable to call a pizza a pie. That being said, well done to the memesmith 😀

    source
    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      But- and hear me out- what if you are a stereotypical Italian chef with a big mustache and a chef’s hat and you send it out to the customer? You gotta say, “at’s-a good pizza pie!”

      source
      • VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Good point, but I’m actually not that. I’m starting to suspect that very few people actually are!

      A deep dish pizza and a calzone are both technically pies as far as I can tell. They have a surrounding casing of crust. A flat pizza would not be a pie.

      Never had deep dish, I take it?

      source
      • VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I do, but I’m not sure that counts as pizza…

    Isn’t the Z axis vertical?

    source
    • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Not in bistromath.

      source
      • Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Indeed, a common mistake for newcomers to the field.

        source
    • PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s typically vertical, but you can name your variables however you want.

      source
      • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The Z axis is usually used for depth, so it’s going to be perpendicular to whatever your frame of reference (i.e. projection plane) is.

        If it’s upright in space, like a computer screen, the Z axis will be horizontal. If it’s a sheet of paper on a desk, then yes, I suppose it could be argued to be vertical instead.

        source
    • CheesyFox@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      in lots of 3D software Z is horizontal

      source
      • jaschen@lemmynsfw.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        All the 3D printer software, Z is vertical. But I only used a couple so I am not an expert.

        Horizontal going into the screen right? The depth axis, if you will.

      No? That would be the y axis.

    pi of Pie (with ZZ toppings) is meme squared

    Haha I love this

  • mathterdark@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    that’s cool, but did you know that you can get more pizza if you order two mediums instead of a single large?

    source
    • lemonnade@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      that’s insane 😮 did you know that you can get more pizza if you order 2 large pizzas instead of 2 mediums?

      source
      • soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        woaaah you’ve just changed my life. does the same go for small > medium? I wonder if two smalls are also bigger than two larges

        source
    • soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Did you know two mediums cost more than a single large?

      source
    • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’d say that depends entirely on whether their diameter is larger than half of that of the large pizza.

      source
      • scottywh@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Whoa whoa whoa tho… Did you know that if you got three large pizzas it’s more than 4 mediums?

      the z should be lower case

      source
      • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah Z is the set of integers. Or a random variable. Or something. I dunno, it’s been a while.
