2 young black girls in New Orleans have proven the Pythagorean Theory which is 2000+ years old and has never been proven by a single mathematician! I don’t think y’all hear me!

I’m going to let all of you anons in here in on a little secret. Did you know that when n-words talk about “seasoning” they are exclusively referring to “Lawry’s Seasoned Salt?”
I’m not joking, it’s an honest to God fact. Next time you get on the subject of cooking while chatting with a n-word ask him what his favorite seasonings are to use while cooking. He’ll stare at you mouth agape before mumbling out some incoherent n-word speak like
“mufuggah ion no not mufuggin gorton ramsay neighbor nah mean I’m just usin seasoning neighbor”
N-words really have no concept of seasoning, they honestly think all flavor is derived from lawry’s seasoning salt. One time I was invited to my n-word neighbor’s 4th of July bbq. I could hardly contain my excitement because I was finally about to be enlightened by the fabled n-word BBQ, or so I thought.
Imagine my disappointment when I arrived and was greeted with the following
It was absolutely unreal. Do you know how many times I was asked to “pass the seasoning” that night? It can’t be counted on both hands. Describing the situation as Lynchian is too kind.
If you ever find yourself dating a n-word and want to impress her grill up some chicken and rub it with enough lawry’s seasoned salt to cure an entire calf. You will be amazed at her eyes light up as she takes her first bite and she showers you with compliments for “cookin’ with soul”

Idk but to me that seems a bit of BS because I know that there are more general versions of Pythagorean theorem pertaining to vector spaces, and I don't think that those are based on any trigonometry. And the regular a^2+b^2=c^2 is just a special case and hence is covered by the non-trigonometric proof
But I could be wrong![:marseybrainlet: :marseybrainlet:](/e/marseybrainlet.webp)

Even John Nash had instances later in life where his schizophrenia really took hold and was making up outright nonsense theorems that didn’t pertain to any form of mathematics.

I've heard this argument once before and a quick google search showed me a similar paper on the possibility of a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem:
https://forumgeom.fau.edu/FG2009volume9/FG200925.pdf
In fact, if the following slide is a snippet of their presentation
then it does look awfully similar to a random proof I found within seconds:
https://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/Proof100.shtml
Now, do I think their argument is novel? I'm not sure and quite frankly I don't really care, but at least their argument is not complete bullshit and the flaw rather relies on dumb journ*lists trying to make this event bigger than it actually is. Anyways, please pin this comment so people may comment reasonably instead of senselessly bashing these poor girls.

It's basically nothing of interest whatsoever but it is hilarious further proof that if you just do completely normal uninteresting, functional-but-non-genius maths stuff while black it gets treated like the most important thing in the world. If two white boys did this it wouldn't even be local news, heck it wouldn't even be school-newsletter-worthy
But for journos seeing a black person do anything at all in school blows their minds because libs are fricking racist and treat it like they just saw a dog do a kickflip

As a mathcel, I'm genuinely interested in seeing this proof, and not because I'm eager to "debunk" it or anything. It actually sounds interesting, and none of these journ*lists seem to have any idea why it's unique or new.
There's a lot of interesting proofs of the Pythagorean theorem. President James Garfield actually discovered a unique proof using trapezoids. It's not unprecedented that amateur mathematicians can stumble upon stuff like this.

I get what they’re trying to get at, where a mathematical theory can have proofs in multiple domains, but doing so with trigonometry isn’t a novel concept (it’s regularly done in Trig/pre-calc books, their teacher just might not have covered that or the book they used didn’t provide it). Here’s a trig based proof from 4+ years ago:
From 12 years ago:
People thinking that it hasn’t been “proven” are just r-slurred and can’t even read the extract. The commonly used proofs are algebraic or geometric, but the trigonometric proof still isn’t a new discovery.

You don’t understand math. These videos illustrate the trivial observation that those trig identities are equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem, which is why they are called the Pythagorean identities. A proof that does not use the Pythagorean identities could actually be interesting.
