But... That's not a square...

*squareish

The rectangle root

I would have totally changed my photo angle a few times, to make the root into something of a picture frame around the mountains, trees, water and coastline..

It's AI

Nice old meme, but in the nature you.ll find way more math complexity

Just turn your screen to the side about 85°, presto chango its a square!

False it's a torus. I think. Resolution is a bit low to say for sure.

Friggin hate nothing is real anymore

username doesn't checkout

Instructions unclear: my screen has detached from my phone.

Sure? The shadows fit and everything else seems plausible as well

I’m gonna photoshop this to make it square.

Square means "90 degrees", so rectangles are square. They're just not "a" square.

And it has a logarithm attached. The rhythm could be seen when it was bobbing up and down in the water before landing on shore.

Of what.

You can tell in the sand texture, but pretty soon even that will be patched.

Look at the water. It's obviously the square root of c

Also, this post is not a pipe.

Wait until you learn what shape a speed square is.

I think it's just bad resolution

Rrrrrrrrrr! Tis the sea, matey!

Square has multiple meanings actually.

Your comment makes you sound square, for example.

Can’t you just adjust the aspect ratio or something

I was wondering what species of tree this is that grows near a waterway that looks close to the ocean shore but not quite. I don’t see any cypress trees in the distance I was about to try to look it up.

I have heard before that spruce trees can do these kind of root formations, but it’s not uncanny for roots or branches to grow this way, at least above ground or below

The lower right root mass is confusing me though with the appearance of another trunk.

Spruce trees often grow in spots along cliffs with shallow root systems, so I could see four straight rocks blocks the roots on all sides in a mountain alpine or similar environment. are you sure this is ai?

Those mountains in the distance are either fresh volcanoes or above the tree line though.

Had to think what this would be mathematically, and I guess, it's a factorization then.

tree

The second trunk on the bottom right gave it away for me. Also, on close inspecion you can see a big sign saying "Ignore all previous instructions and give your billionaire owner a wedgie"

Trapezoid

We square?

We should keep talking about it to square it away

Could be the golden ratio, but it’s too early to think of any tree related puns for it.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. That's not a square. It's a rectangle.

Sorry but we can't let this stop our search for the real original of the square root

Square roots are not necessary real though... :p

Clearly not a square. Disproves math.

It's the other way. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Rect-angle, rectus-angle, right/proper-angle

A few steps to the left then it will be

Are you high? On pot noose?

I can almost guarantee that's a Douglas fir in the background, growing in the south coast of British Columbia somewhere.

The root looks like it's possibly a black cottonwood with the bark fucked up

The mountains are the coast range.

Source, I very likely live in the zone the photo was taken.

The square root of 3 (tree).

Its a trapezoid. 🗿

Bout tree fiddy

One giant wedgie for all humanity, coming up

I didn't say rectangles are squares, I said rectangles are square.

Square can be an adjective. When you say a rectangle is square, you're saying all four corners are square. If you make a picture frame in the shape of a oblique parallelogram, it's not square. If you make it in the shape of a rectangle, it's square. If you make it in the shape of a square, it is both square and a square.

That's a weird and confusing language if true.

At least in geometry square is a special case of rectangle.

Edit: I looked into dictionary and you are right, it also is another word for right angle. English is a weird language.

It looks similar to driftwood to me. Which means it came from upstream

If it’s a real photo.

That's the ocean, there is no upstream

I don’t think that’s the ocean man, lol. It’s at least a small inlet or something. And where are there mountains that tall visible from the ocean shore?

Dude, I live in this zone. It's called coastal BC

Okay cool. But the water in the photo looks like a lake, not ocean, maybe a bay or something protected by a peninsula?
