Looking to get a freezer tray for baby food. Food safe, BPA free, correct size, etc.
Found one but I find the listing's lack of knowledge of geometry... disturbing.

To be fair, ice cubes are rarely cubes...

Is this the same forum where we've been having an argument about whether a disc (specifically a Peppermint Pattie) is a cylinder?
-
Are those spheres or hemispheres? Or cylinders?

I dunno. I don't read most flamewars, so... maybe?

Ah, the other kind of food porn!

According to Wikipedia, ice cubes are "a small, roughly cube-shaped piece of ice (frozen water), conventionally used to cool beverages." I would call this cylinderoid "roughly" cube shaped. Most party ice is cylindrical and these would still be called "ice cubes".

@Lorne-Kates What do they mean with "roll over image to zoom in"? That's a web-dev term that I haven't heard before...

On the next door, it said, SQUARE SWEETS THAT LOOK ROUND.
'Wait!' cried Mr Wonka, skidding suddenly to a halt. 'I am very proud of my square sweets that look round. Let's take a peek.'

That's because you have your dignity left. Let's face it, web dev strips you of it. Knowing web dev terms just makes you lose it a
littlelot.

By that they mean they haven’t read articles like this or this.

It's obvious, just flip the picture over and it gets bigger!

Everything is "roughly cube shaped" if you assume it's a perfectly spherical, frictionless object...

Toroids aren't.

Triple fun if you put a knot in the toroid as well.

He is a pretty square mod. Treats everyone the same, no special favors even for his own alt @blakeyrat

No, Boomzilla is Blakeyrat's alt. It's the inverse square law.

Yes. To simplify: Log @boomzilla mod 2 is zero if log @blakeyrat is natural.

Because a piece of ice is called an "ice cube" even if it's a sphere. English!

Actually, a cube must be a cube to be a cube. Literally every time I'm at a party and someone offers me ice cubes when the ice isn't a cube, I'm sure to correct them by educating them on proper geometry. I also insist that if they aren't going to serve CUBES of ice, to refer to their ice shapes using the proper English terms.
I get kicked out of a lot of parties, and I'll I'm trying to do is have a calm, rational conversation.

Obviously "ice" is a modifier meaning "not". And then you need the 42billion exception rules.

What kind of looks do you get when you ask people for ice balls?

I want to see the look on your face when someone pulls your pants down turns your neither region into Han Solo

Dutch is much better. We call them 'ijsblokjes' (ice blocks).
EDIT: or 'ijsklontjes' (ice clumps? unsure)

I've been to gatherings where someone brings liquid nitrogen to make ice cream.
What I'm saying is, there's a non-zero chance this would happen.

I had heard it is a good way to get rid of the corpse, but to actually make it an ice cream! now that is a novel idea you could only find in this forum.

There is a non-zero chance for a cube to become a sphere on its own

That's an interesting spin on things.

Around here an "ice block" is a frozen confection. Sugary flavoured water frozen onto a wooden stick. Like a paddlepop but not milky.

That was the link that came out of the YouTube app and I CBF massaging it.

@Zemm Sounds like a 'waterijsje' (water icecream)

@Zemm
Waterijs in Dutch
Needs more artificial coloring though

Soo... Popsicle?
"Watery ice-cream" in Poland too, although here the frozen water variation usually comes in a tube.
