Knowing Pythagoras he was into some pretty freaky stuff with triangles.

I feel like there’s a bearded triangle joke here somewhere but I can’t put my finger ~~in~~ on it.

~~Bizarre~~ Equilateral Love Triangle

For the uninitiated, this is a quote that James Acaster attributes to Pythagoras in one of the shows from his series, Repertoire. I sadly can't seem to find a clip of it but that's the source

You could even overdo it, smothering that triangle with clingy affection, as some sort of rare "sacred and perfect" thing, focusing only on some limited types of symmetries... the skin-deep ones.
