My mistake - you said:Sorry, I still have no idea what you are talking about. I said the booing doesn’t necessarily mean they are booing trump or whoever. Maybe they are just booing based on good old fashion Aussie patriotism. Who knows if they are left or right. What I said was it’s sad and desperate for the usual suspects to use this to validate their extreme TDS. Hope that clarifies that for you.
As to sphere or flat plate, it’s neither. It’s an oblate spheroid.
NB it is a little sad and desperate the way leftists have jumped on booing at a WWE event as some sort of anti Trump political protest,
I missed the second line on initial read-through because your instant use of 'leftist' caught me well off guard given the post of mine that you were replying to. I penciled you in as saying Perth fans booing were all leftists and found that absurd.
So, amazingly - for the first time in a long time - this means we ended up arguing the same idea. "Who knows if those people were left or right"? We can't, that's the whole point!
Sure, we can still argue why exactly they are booing the US anthem. For example, we can debate whether or not it's naive to consider if US image had any role. Irrespective of the action, however, we both concluded that this large group of people booing the US cannot so simply be deemed 'leftists' or 'right wingers'. It took a while, but we got here.

On “TDS.” MAGA folks probably shouldn’t be so eager to mainstream that one. Give it ten or fifteen years and I can already picture it at trivia night: “In 2025 a third of the American adult population famously believed ideas such as ‘other countries pay US tariffs’, 'Tylenol causes Autism' and ‘Ukraine started the war’. What clinical diagnosis was later coined to describe such delusions?”
Answer: Trump Derangement Syndrome.
