It specifically says for thrusting or striking. That’s where the pizza cutter fails to pass as a sword. 😔
IDK maybe they’re just really bad at cutting pizza.
No fucking way dude, that’s slashing damage.
Also if the pizza is really hot, it does burn damage to the roof of your mouth.
You put the sharp edge on a surface and push forward to cut pizza. That IS thrusting.
I thought slashing but you might be right.
Thrusting or striking, you can definitely strike with a pizza sword so it match at least one definition.
And the sheath
How can one sheath the unsheathable
ah yes, ignoring that it should actuality be a polygon, implying a closed shape with straight sides much like this ignores the “weapon” and “used for thrusting or striking” parts of the definition.
not hard to make strange things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.
something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions with deliberately obtuse interpretations in pursuit of… checks notes… humor.
Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines
Relax, take a deep breath<3
No. You can’t just put little boxes in the corner and call them right angles THERE ARE RULES WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY
But that’s correct in the image there - they are perpendicular or as you in the US call it “level”, they are all 90° and pweze pweze don’t forget you’re trying to be pedantic in a comments section of a stolen meme in a community called shitposting like just chill c:
It’s not pedantry, you just don’t know elementary level geometry.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle
Right angles must be comprised of two straight lines, and by also by similar definition a curved line can’t be perpendicular to fucking anything.
That angle can be 90 degrees at the point of intersection because of how angles in this case are measured but it is not a right angle or perpendicular. This why the definition of right angle is more complex than “a 90 degree angle.”
pedantic/pə-dăn′tĭk/
adjective
-
Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for academic knowledge and formal rules.
“a pedantic attention to details.”
You are very much correct in the fact that angles by definition are only present between straight lines. A secant line that is in the same plane as the circle and is crossing the centre of the circle is called it’s normal and a normal is by definition perpendicular. The meme was fun
It’s not pedantry, you’re just offensively ignorant.

The idea isn’t literal, it’s to show that our language is entirely just noises that we’ve made into increasingly complicated levels of agreed-upon abstraction. We don’t mine words out of the Earth, we develop them to create clear explanations that we can all agree on, and yes, the more you peel away or dig in, the more challenging it can be to create words that encompass all variations of an idea.
This image makes me angrier than it should. Those 4 “right angle” designations are all lies. You cannot have a curved line attached to anything and call it a “right angle”. It’s not. Like, factually. I don’t care if it’s 2 feet long, or 200,000 miles, it will never be exactly 90°, which invalidates the entire thing.

OK. Walk in a straight line for a couple of metres and stop. Rotate left or right by exactly 90°. Now take a curved path in any direction.
Did you or did you not turn 90°?
That doesn’t make the resultant diagram 90° at those vertices. That’s just empiricist stupidity.
OK, then what angle is it?
This is not a parallelogram and is therefore not a square
That blade is not infinitely long unless you measure the same part over and over again.
Fr, what happened to 2πr?
A sword by definition has a “pointed blade” accordingly any object with an infinitely long blade cannot be a sword. Rather, it’s a blade ray.
it does have a point. look at the blade from the side.
pointy bit goes into the pizza.
Instructions unclear, pizza cutter stuck in pants and now I am circumferenced
Circumcized?
Circumnavigated
If she’s doing it right
I know what I said
Swords without a sharpened point had existed. You could only use them for cutting, not thrusting.
I was going to define this as an axe
A weapon ❌
Used for thrusting and striking ❌
Long metal blade ❌
Tell that to pro wrestler, Nick Gage!
I see you’ve never been penetrated by a pizza slicer
Im not sure what defines a strike but im pretty sure you wouldnt thrust a pizza cutter. If we’re being technical, it doesnt meet the whole definition.
I have used it this way to cut through some really crusty pizza.
strikes are possible.
No that’s a pretty finite length, even if you have to measure the atoms to do it.
Wait. Of the blade or the whole thing?
It’s also not length but circumference.
You don’t need to leave the kitchen, just need a pi
I was going to ask which squenix protag this was, but your alt text answered that for me.
Why do they all have a certain look to them?
If it rains, their socks are pure funnels to get water into the boots
If Leonardo can use katanas to slice pizza, then I can use this (while pretending to be a turtle)
Can you pretend to know where pizza slices come from?
? I don’t get get it
Well it’s not infinitely long. It’s pi D’s long. With D being… well, let’s just say my “peanits”
I heard a comedian call these “infinity knives” a few years back, and now it’s all I can call them.
I have used a pizza cutter to cut more than one pizza. I have also wielded a sword, (Ren Fair and fought a dual), and cut pizza with it. I have also field dressed a couple of deer and cut a few pizzas, (along with apples and sandwiches) with a Victorinox Classic keychain pocket knife over the years.
Of the 3 pieces of cutlery, I find the Victorinox Classic to be the most useful.
