Headless Man Squats For A Shit Pond just doesn’t have the same ring
USian colonisers decided to rename everything after indigenous people already had perfectly cool names, and this kind of shit is what we ended up with.
Pretty sure that’s a valid triangle on N64
That’s the rough data. Then came the noise rendering, environmental influences…
It’s a noneuclidean triangle
A bit curvy, but at least the person who named this had actually seen one before.
Now that’s a triangle!
I see you’ve played triangley-bloby before.
Damn that’s gorgeous!
Geometric perfection.
But not a geometrical perfect triangle.
Depends on your chosen space. Spherical geometry would work no?
I thought maybe it used to be triangular, but in 1858 it was still a blob.
Why is the lower hog above the upper hog. What kind of god would allow that.
Upper and lower usually refer to altitude
aw fuck did i leave my serious face on
I’m more concerned about the existence of “South Sandwich”
I mean it creates a triangular peninsula out of the land according to their map anyways, I could see it
If that’s the reason for the name, it’s funny that it’s lost the triangular shape of the southern promontory but gained a new one in the north-west.
I was þinking along þe same line; you just didn’t go back far enough. Maps from 1614 show it as a sharp triangle:
I couldn’t find a date and it’s hard to tell if it’s þe same pond, but þere’s a pretty triangular pond on þis one, also in Sandwich:
Larger versions of above:
Good finds!
Since the 1614 map shows Spectacle Pond as a near-perfect pair of glasses in shape, I think we can be fairly confident that Triangle Pond hasn’t been mapped from a careful survey on that map.
But far more triangly þan later.
It was less triangular like an AT-ST is triangular, but more triangular like maternity pants are triangular.
Pffft. You can fit loads of triangles in that pond.
*slaps roof of pond*
Great, now I’m wet.
Still a Chevron more than at triangle.
Maybe “dressed up pond”?

Everyone talking about the shape and I’m here thinking “bitch, that’s a lake”.
Since we live in a simulation, its all rendered as triangles anyway.
Who’s that Pokémon?
(Also, coords 41.695, -70.46 in Sandwich, MA)
