ah yes, ignoring that it should actuality be a polygon, implying a closed shape with straight sides much like this ignores the “weapon” and “used for thrusting or striking” parts of the definition.
not hard to make strange things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.
something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions with deliberately obtuse interpretations in pursuit of… checks notes… humor.
But that’s correct in the image there - they are perpendicular or as you in the US call it “level”, they are all 90° and pweze pweze don’t forget you’re trying to be pedantic in a comments section of a stolen meme in a community called shitposting like just chill c:
Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for academic knowledge and formal rules.
“a pedantic attention to details.”
You are very much correct in the fact that angles by definition are only present between straight lines. A secant line that is in the same plane as the circle and is crossing the centre of the circle is called it’s normal and a normal is by definition perpendicular. The meme was fun
The idea isn’t literal, it’s to show that our language is entirely just noises that we’ve made into increasingly complicated levels of agreed-upon abstraction. We don’t mine words out of the Earth, we develop them to create clear explanations that we can all agree on, and yes, the more you peel away or dig in, the more challenging it can be to create words that encompass all variations of an idea.

Relax, take a deep breath<3
No. You can’t just put little boxes in the corner and call them right angles THERE ARE RULES WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

It’s not pedantry, you just don’t know elementary level geometry.

Right angles must be comprised of two straight lines, and by also by similar definition a curved line can’t be perpendicular to fucking anything.

It’s not pedantry, you’re just offensively ignorant.
Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines
