That's a square.
Fine, a square is a rectangle. But that's a square.
There's no media queries to eliminate the square. There's no JS that affects the square-ness. It's all squares.
144 squares.
- jmstfv 5y agoYikes, I haven't thought anyone would venture there and see that monstrosity... Well, now they're rectangles!
- setr 5y agoheight: 4.5rem; - width: 4.5rem; + width: 4.6rem; consider my offense revoked
- jzer0cool 5y agoCan someone clarify?
- bombcar 5y agoIt’s tongue in cheek - the original site had squares not the advertised “rectangles” - even though a square is a type of rectangle most people consider rectangles to be the non-squares.
- SamBam 5y agoMy 5-year-old knows that squares are a type of rectangle. Her kindergarten teacher corrected her when she said this during a shapes lesson and told her that rectangles always have two sides longer than the other. We haven't bothered to correct the teacher, but used it as a lesson to say that even intelligent people aren't always correct about everything. (She also had a preschool teacher that told her that blood is blue before it gets oxygen. This lesson is one that will be repeated throughout her life.)
- bombcar 5y agoThere's the technical definition where rectangle is a genus of the species square, and there's the colloquial definition - if there are two boxes and one is a cube and the other is elongated, most people will ask for "the rectangular" one and not the "non square" one. And an important part of life is learning when to pick your battles.
- jaclaz 5y ago>where rectangle is a genus of the species square Wrong battle, I know, but to nitpick the species is more likely quadrilateral.
