          If we’re gonna insist to go morphological, then it depends on the edge crust.

          If we count that as added thickness, a pizza is a quiche or a pie. I’m pretty sure Chicago Deep Dish would classify as such unambiguously.

          If we don’t count the edge as upstanding, a pizza is toast.

                Curiously, today I had a “kebab roll” (“kebabrulle”) which is a big thing in Sweden. Essentially a kebab pizza with a salad on top, some onion pieces, and dressing, rolled up into a roll, wrapped in tinfoil.

                Very good, very heavy meal.

    Except the mathematical variable name for radius is r. Also for a cylinder you use the term height, not thickness. Which is called h in math. So by all accounts it should be called Pirrh.

    Edit: Also also, with this logic you could’ve just called a pizza “Volume”. Would’ve saved you a lot of time :/

          It’s actually a pie though. It has a surrounding crust casing as well as a filling, which qualifies it as a pie according to Wikipedia.

            Wikipedia is sometimes wrong, though. This is the relevant definition:

            A baked food composed of a pastry shell **filled with **fruit, meat, cheese, or other ingredients, and usually covered with a pastry crust

            Meaning that a flat pizza wouldn’t count (those are toppings, not fillings) but a calzone technically would.

              Read further. The page also says the crust can be on the bottom and the filling on top/inside, as well as crust on top, filling underneath, or both (calzone). So a deep dish pizza is a pie, technically.

                This is “literally can mean figuratively” level lunacy. If it doesn’t have FILLINGS rather than TOPPINGS, it’s simply not a pie.

                  I don’t really know what you’re referring to at this point.

                  I’m saying:

                  • A regular flat pizza is not a pie. It does not have a casing, and the “filling” is a topping, as you say.
                  • A (Chicago-style) deep-dish pizza is a pie (more-so than a pizza in my opinion but whatever) because it has a bottom crust with filling on top (a pie according to Wikipedia). That’s not lunacy. It’s right there on Wikipedia, with even a link to Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.
                  • A calzone is a pie because it has crust both on top and on the bottom (surrounding the filling), as well as filling inside.

                  This is not “lunacy”. It’s just reading a definition and interpreting things to fit the definition. 🤷‍♂️ If you think that’s lunacy I’d hate to tell you about Pluto. A pie with crust on the bottom is very common. Meat pies, and pastry pies, among many others. Crust on bottom is common, crust on top is common. Crust all around is common… Not lunacy.

                  I’m going to refrain from talking about hotdogs, because I’ve yet to look up the definition of a sandwich, but I’d rather not at this point lol.

                  Where does that put key lime pie and lemon meringue pie? Or pumpkin pie and pecan pie? Are they not pies because they’re not covered?

              No, you need to include the height of the cylinder (a). Imagine a deep dish pizza (big a) versus a thin crust (small a) - the sides of the deep dish pizza have more area. Your formula returns the circumference of the pizza.

              If you’re interested in dimensional analysis (and why wouldn’t you be?) the formula you proposed doesn’t have enough length units. It would return a value of length (like inches, or cm) not area (like square inches or square cm).

          That Z² is equal to ZZ.

          If we didn’t use parentheses in primary school, because “the math doesn’t need it”, then it would be quite unnecessarily hard on the students’ learning. Maybe it’s a joke someone made for a class?

            No, it is syntactically unnecessary.

            I understand your point, and agree when it comes to programming with things like scope, typing, semicolons, etc, etc… Many concepts are easier to learn when enforced through syntax.

            Though if someone gets cofused on the transitive nature of multiplication with a single simple equation … They aren’t learning math.

              Anyway, this is just a joke post. Get over it. 🙂 Laugh at the funny. Instead of sucking it out of us. ❤️ The parentheses help make it look like the math is more advanced than it really is. It’s fine. Shhh. No no. Shhh. It’s supposed to be funny.

        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.

          not consistently. I find there are basically two schools of thought in 3d graphics:

          • the screen is a graph representing a 3d space: the x axis is horizontal, the y axis is vertical. depth, going ‘into’ the screen, then becomes the z axis. mathematicians and programmers tend to like this.

          • the screen is a camera viewing a 3d space from within itself: the coordinates to position yourself along a line is one dimensional: x. to position yourself on a plane as in a 2d game, two dimensional: x, y. to position yourself within a volume, three dimensional: x, y, z. humans are kind of inherently planar spatial navigators - it’s easy to think about our position in terms of “where on the ground” we are, then adjust for height. 3d artists and level designers tend to like this.
