The problem is that they aren't 'potato shaped' rotations, they are better thought of as hyperbolic rotations. Simultaneous distant events in Lorentz transformations will all lay on a shared hyperbola not a distorted circle. Really this is beyond typical human intuition and requires math, but here is a quick minutephysics video that quickly demonstrates fairly well it without me typing out a bunch of math that no one wants anyway. https://youtu.be/SrNVsfkGW-0 https://youtu.be/SrNVsfkGW-0
