      the flattening is what makes them not spheres and have sides. If we applied this “logic” then literally everything is just anything but in a different form - which makes no sense

          It needs a designation, why I said what I said. You don’t call side on a coin flip because your only choices are heads or tails

              You were? No one said anything, and you replied to me with a “flaw” in what I said? Why would you just not agree? Or upvote?

              It’s weird that you would say I was wrong then say you were doing it to support my statement.

                Oh great, a contrarian. “Every time someone replies to me, it necessarily must be an attack that I need to squash with full force.”

                An awesome character trait.

                The original point you were answering to was: A coin has 3 sides, because there are 3 potential areas where a coin can land.

                Your point was: Only that it can land on an area doesn’t mean that that point is a side (as in a side that counts as a result).

                I said: Yes, even on a die there are areas where the die can stand that are not counted as sides.

                Now the question to you, mister contrarian: How was that a flaw to your argument? Please tell me, how a thinking human being that can read can seriously interpret that as me pointing out a flaw to your argument?

                I hate small ego contrarians who feel the need to constantly find attacks from all sides and if they don’t find them, they make them up.

                It’s the online equivalent of a teenager going “What are you looking at?”

                  A die can land and stand on a corner if you do it precisely enough.

                  You didn’t say yes… and that doesn’t look like you agree to anything. If anything, it seems like a sarcastic reply because clearly you had to point out the 3rd side of a coin…

                  Again, you could have just agreed or given an upvote… instead, it seems like you’re more interested in judging people and making up idea’s about who they are…
