This angle meme is driving designers wild (in a bad way)

Here at Creative Bloq, we always like to find the right angle for a story. With that in mind, here's a classic from a few months back to ruin your weekend. You're welcome.

There's nothing like a good meme to get people raging. And while most are concerned with the latest developments in politics, it seems there'll always be room for some anger about an angle. 

While others took a more technical angle:

Over on Reddit, users were infuriated by the post itself, with user RoeHogan saying: "The amount of times this has been posted is mildly infuriating."

While there was some good old-fashioned debate of (ahem) varying degrees of pedantry:

Nooneisanonymous said: "Looks more like 95 degrees to me. I thought we measured from right to left. Even if it measured from left to right it looks more like 85 degrees."

While Haribo112 replied: "No it is 89. The straight bit and the curve indicate it is to be measured from left to right. The reason it looks more like 85 to you I because of the height. A 1 degree change at the base of the angle will lead to a very noticeable deviation at the top."

More angles, are, of course, developing all the time.
