@jens2go oooh

@jens2go Is it an amphihill?

@jens2go Heh, you're going to hate french: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/amphi

@jens2go Isn't the one one on the left a hemi-amphitheatre?

@jens2go hyper-amphitheater - terrible construction of stadium in our city:
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil…
was built for Olympics once, has been almost not used afterall. waste of taxes for maintaining.
the remains of original old stadium are still seeen on the front side.

@jens2go Yes! I learnt that when I visited the Roman theatre and amphitheatre in Mérida, Spain.

@jens2go @clew TMYK. Thanks for making me smarter today

@jens2go
TIL!

@jens2go is this why Pi equals 3.14 and not its double? Because referring to a "half circle" by default was preferable to ancient sensibilities, and they liked to say "no I mean the whole circle" every time?

@jens2go #LearnGreekTheFunWay :)

@jens2go Oh, you mean a semicolosseum was the norm!? (I see myself out.)

@jens2go lmao how can you die on that hill if the amphitheatre is free-standing

@jens2go I did not know this. Now I do. So if you call me from the top of that hill, I will come running to join you on the battlefield.

@jens2go mind blown

@jens2go And now I realised a lot of the "amphitheatres" in school are merely theatres.

@jens2go
Pie / Amphipie (or π / Φ)

@jens2go i thought amphi theatre means they had plays and show fighting

@jens2go I did not know this - I thought the amphi meant something else. I will happily stand with you on this.

@jens2go just reminding me that my city built an outside theater and are calling it the "Amphitheater" and it bugs the crap out of me lol

@jens2go How say you, @20002ist ?

@jens2go
So most football stadiums (and lots of other sport arenas) are kinda an ἀμφιθέατρον.
