    Idk, this really doesn’t have to do anything with Pythagora’s Theorem

      Beyond the general “hehe funny meme” Some seem to think there’s some kind of math going on in people’s heads other than “shortcut”

      The knowledge of Pythagoras or math doesn’t factor in here at all. Toddlers do this.

      Having the knowledge just gives you fancy words for the resulting coincidental shape.

        Yeah, somebody once explained this to me like

        “even stupid animals go directly at where they want to go”

      The way is sqr(2)=1.4 instead of 2.

        It’s also a straight line between points, so nobody really cares just how much shorter it is.

      Yeah, it’s just the triangle inequality.

      Yeah, true. No Euclidean distances implicit to this problem. Oh, wait…

      Yeah… this is just “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line”
