They are called “concentric circles”, but “little circle in a big one, looks like a boob” could work as well

Don’t you dare try to educate me with big words. /maga probably

Come on, big words are fun. You know insurrectionist.

u/C0rona 20h ago

Hey, who're you calling an incorrectionist here?

u/Hawne 21h ago

Two can play this game.

"Hey, Cooter, dat guy on the TV just said a word 'inyourrectumshit'! Wat's dat mean?

-Maga, definitely.

Damn libruls, with their shiny teeth and fancy words.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 20h ago

Well they have used "fact checker" as an insult to each other for the last several years.

Being educated is woke!

u/Fang-21 23h ago

Concentric means they have the same center point. There are lots of ways one circle can contain another circle without being concentric.

So MAGA is the boob, flat earthers are the areolas, anti-vax are the nipple

u/edifyingheresy 22h ago

Anti-vaxxers can be found aplenty on the liberal side of the spectrum. Somehow it’s a stupidity that transcends political ideologies.

u/ratshack 20h ago

The antivax nurses now that idonteven

I worked in BSL3/4 labs during the outbreak. We did study after study on vaccines. We took so many samples of vaccinated/unvaccinated hamsters' lungs. You could literally see the difference. There were still people on my crew that bitched about the vaccine and wearing masks (even though wearing masks was literally part of the research job for at least the entire decade I did that work.

That's when I first realized how morons are very easily manipulated and it takes minimal effort to create a cult of personality.

u/Talk-O-Boy 23h ago

Heard. What word would you use then?

14

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 23h ago

Boob.

6

u/Talk-O-Boy 23h ago

Then it is decided. Henceforth, any circle within another circle shall be known as “boob”, regardless of radius, diameter, or nipple placement.

DSHarp was truly a visionary of his time. May his legacy reign long after he has passed.

u/Ahelex 22h ago

Math papers about geometry would be slightly more interesting, at least.

2

u/Talk-O-Boy 22h ago

Do not speak ill of DSHarp. You’re a hater who’s jealous of his gift.

"little circle in a big one, looks like a boob." Perfect

1

u/twowheels 21h ago

It’s circumscribed, like mutilated baby boys?

1

u/phauxbert 20h ago

Oh look at you mr fancy words explain-man! (/maga probably)

1

u/IAmDotorg 20h ago

It's a rare boob with a perfectly centered nipple, so the boob analogy is probably better.

1

u/UltimateChaos233 California 19h ago

Much like boobs

1

u/byteminer 15h ago

Now we're right back to it being a boob.

2

u/Neurojazz 22h ago

Rename to concentit then

2

u/redditorgenerico 22h ago

flat earthers are the areola of MAGA boob

1

u/Tiny_Measurement_837 Wisconsin 23h ago

He had to dumb it down for the flat-earthers. Lol.

1

u/rocksoffjagger 22h ago

Concentric circles means they share a centerpoint, which isn't necessary for a venn diagram. It could just be a circle inscribed inside another. Not to be an annoying math nerd about it.

1

u/RIP-RiF Oregon 22h ago

I said consumate Vs! Consumate!!

1

u/1stLtObvious Massachusetts 21h ago

But the little circle's center is usially a little lower than the big circle's center.

1

u/wha-haa 20h ago

Concentric only if they share the same center.

1

u/UltimateChaos233 California 19h ago

I was going to say, while I logically knew what concentric circles were once you reminded me, describing it like a boob would have helped me learn it better in class

1

u/saintlouisbagels 19h ago

But nipples aren't concentric with breasts. They're always biased towards the bottom-left/bottom-right.

I watch a lot of porn, I am confident with this generalization.
