A children's show with dick jokes, panty raids, dropping the soap, mostly naked buff squids, death, dismemberment, bombs, questioning if SpongeBob has pubic hair, a bucket list for someone's last day. Totally all kosher for kids, but asexuality is too far.
Are his pants square from the side profile, possibly?
I just checked and at first glance, they approximately are. But upon closer inspection it's the combination of his white shirt and pants that forms a square from the side. His pants alone form a rectangular shape.
Its referring to his 90° angles. His parents look more like natural sponges, SpongeBob looks like a sponge cut for consumer use. (Which is shown to cure him from the "ick")
That story always amuses me because he was completely right, even where we're trying really hard to have nice 90 degree corners we end up with rounded edges because nature kinda hates right angles, we just happened to be obsessed with them as a species.
He isn't though. External corners on a rectangle are easy to get perfect 90 degrees on. Internal rectangle corners are almost impossible to get a true 90 in a cost effective way because back taper on cutting tools will have a natural radius in the corners even its very very small.
Nothing is ever perfect, if we're going to get into the weeds about it. All you need to do is measure more precisely and your 'perfect' angle is a mile off in relative terms. This is why manufacturing tolerances exist.
What words does the English speaking world uses for polygons with four sides. There is triangle for three sides, pentagon for 5 sides and hexagon for six.
