Kinky. But no, not necessarily. You could say that one of them is the actual person and the other "person" is just the first person's shadow. It's a stretch, but it's the best I've got.
I guess so, also it puts into perspective, how big a feef is. It would have to be 1/4 of the Earth's circumference.
Or maybe they are standing on a smaller sphere.
The meme artist here is not thinking in enough dimensions. These constraints result in a tetrahedron. So you just need to stand in a triangle formation and have the last guy go in the center and float less than the average human height above ground.
I think you're fine in just 3 dimensions. If the person to the upper left and lower right have a separate elevation from the other two, this is basically just the shape of a 4 sided die.
Everyone's saying that this works in 3 dimensional space, but this also works in 2 dimensional space such that each side could be at a minimum six feet. The resulting structure would be a rhombus and not a square, with the distance between two of the individuals being much greater than 6 feet, though, which the artist did not accurately represent.

How long is a feef tho

Zero. Then all the other measurements make sense.

But then the two on the bottom would have to be inside one another.

That totally works, but only when Positionen on an appropriately sized sphere

Damn i hate when some other pedant beats me to it in the comments!

Stephen Hawking isn’t a pedant, he only went to Epstein’s island to get away from light pollution.

It makes sense if you interpret it as ≥6, which is probably what they meant anyways.
Edit: I'm pretty sure it also works in hyperbolic space

Well, that's not practical, but is physically possible, we just need someone moving on stilts and we are done

But people exist only on Earth so what do you suggest? Earth being some spinning bouncy ball instead of a majestic plane?

But how many feet are in a foof? 🤔
anubis119@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
I never thought I'd need to remember that math equation. Little did I know I'd need it to answer a meme on Lemmy. 8.485.
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
Approx. 8.5 feet for anyone curious
6√2 if anyone wants to be more specific

Dunno why Pythagoras would be mad, since the Pythagorean theorem was known for at least a thousand years before his time.
