Regular 65537-gon A regular 65537-gon Type Regular polygon Edges and vertices 65537 Schläfli symbol {65537} Coxeter–Dynkin diagrams 65537 Symmetry group Dihedral (D₆₅₅₃₇), order 2×65537 Internal angle ≈179.994 507° (degrees)

A Wikipedia screenshot about a regular 65537-gon shows it as a nearly perfect circle, with its polygon properties listed below. The joke is that a polygon with 65,537 sides is visually indistinguishable from a circle, making the absurdly large number of edges the punchline. It is used as a reaction to overcomplicated technical explanations or something that is practically indistinguishable from the simpler alternative.
