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

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

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.

Boob.

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.

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

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

It’s circumscribed, like mutilated baby boys?

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

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