Shape Rule

[A person offering a second person a Klein bottle. The second person rejects the Klein bottle. They have a plate of regular three dimensional shapes in front of them. They have picked up a rectangular prism on their fork. In the upper left corner is the text: "No! A responsible adult says no to non-orientable shapes"]

He is offered an interesting shape, but he is not so in-kleined.

I think that's called a Boy's Surface. There is a different animation of the same object in the Wikipedia article. It's a disk with a mobius strip glued to its edge, but most articles get too mathsy too quickly for me to understand, so that's all the information I can provide :3

Inverting a trapezoid in this way is the minimum complexity required to turn a sphere inside out

that's fantastic.. and i watched the videos, and it still looks like black magic..

But non-orientable geometry allows for the completion of affine space and thus Bezout's theorem!
