the thing about school is it teaches you about the existence of 3D shapes but doesn't teach you how evil they are. having been an adult for some time now in three-dimensional space, where things get dirty in three dimensions and require cleaning, i can say that those fuckers always have more sides than you think they do and you have to clean all of them.

#take your humble doorway for example. a doorway is basically a rectangle. rectangles have four sides #a 3d rectangle (what is that even called? not a cube because not all the edges are equal length) has 6 faces and 12 edges #but a doorway is just the edges (no faces) AND you don't have to count the bottom which is just the floor #so you think maybe what. 9 edges? three sides and each side has an inside an outside and a center? that's not so bad #WRONG. TWENTY-SEVEN EDGES #because of the way the frame feels the need to like. keep curving around instead of just being a flat surface #for NO reason. except decorative i suppose #obviously i'm talking about specific doorways that are in my own home here ymmv but feel my pain. 7 doorways. 27 edges. fml #my posts #cleaning
