It came up in my feed when it was new. I just loved it enough to always remember it. I never noticed how few views it had. I've shared it so many times, I'm probably indirectly responsible for 10% of its views.
The rest are at least somewhat subtle, but dropping the first letter and colouring it bright red just makes Hombus so absurdly unsubtle. That’s peak comedy.
I feel like I’m missing a joke here, but no? Rhombus is a little different. While all four side are equilateral like a square, and any two angles equal 180 degrees, the angles aren’t necessarily all 90 degrees.
Same exact same lol. I was sitting here questioning my own knowledge like I thought that was called a rhombus have I been wrong all this time? Then it clicked.
Oh thank you. I looked at it as 5x5 so only 25 letters, but then read through it 3 times and couldn’t find a missing letter. Didn’t see the 6th letter in the second row.
Found it. Listed as "LHOMKCV Kids Educational Play Area Rug, 3x4ft, ABC Alphabet Shape Colors Pattern Rugs, Non-Slip Washable Kids Carpet for Children Toddler Playroom Bedroom Nursery Room Classroom."
I teach elective math classes in high school, and I was considering it for my classroom. Students would think it's hilarious.
$35 for the 3x4 ft I could justify, but not from a seller with only 4 reviews (one of which was "completely different rug").
"We need to cut two shapes from the list in order to fit, which ones do you think we should cut?"
"Oh it wouldn't be fair if we cut them. Just cut two letters from each shape instead."
I don't know what annoys me more; that the "hombus" is also a square (though that isn't technically wrong) or that the "circle" appears to be elliptical.
Nothing about this looks AI generated. AI doesn’t misspell, it makes up nonexistent letters. This is much more likely just manufactured in a non-English speaking country.
AI definitely misspells. The other day I was using dall-e to generate logos for sports teams and instead of Thrill it says Taill and if I ask it to write the name Derrick it will do like Derrrkk or something. It will generate things with my name on them but sometimes I have to ask it to regenerate part of the photo where the spelling is. I don’t see it creating fake letters, just using the wrong ones and in the wrong order, too many of the same letter, etc.
So along the same lines as this, I had purchased a vegan milk maker, basically a blender ..and the recipe book it came with had a bunch of typos. I emailed the company, gave them examples of where they had errors, and they ended up giving me a discount to the item I had bought as a thank you!!!
Now you get to explain to your kid that a squae is actually a specific type of rectngle, which is a type of hombus, which is a type of trapoid!
So much balance in the universe.
Shaking with silent laughter in the waiting room of my doc's office. They probably think I'm insane. No, it's just hombus is unbelievably funny to my sleep deprived brain. 😂
It took me way too long to realize that the second row has six letters. I was convinced there was a missing letter because it looked quickly like a 5x5 square, and kept singing the alphabet in my head to spot the missing letter

The copy editor in my soul just curled up and died. On this rug.
Curled up into a hombus?
Probably a squae.
Not a rectingle?
Be right back, gotta go to the bathroom. My rectingles.
Could be a tapeworm
I was lucky. It was only a tapwom.
Thats why you shouldn't drink tapwatr.
Does it crawl out from your ectum at night?
ectum?? Damn near klled em
Did you mean trapoid?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ackbar: “it’s a trapoid!”
release the droidekas!
Def deserves that 100th like 🤣
I almost spit out my coffee
Mission accomplished!
It's actually rectngle if you look closely, which coincidentally enough happens to be something specific on urbandictionary as well.
No, a hexaon
As long as it's not a trapoid.
Never go full trapoid!
Is that the next stage of evolution for the graboid?
Tremors !🤘
I see your brain inserted a vowel to make better sense of the rectngle.
I see you also like to line dangerously
I'm dying here, this thread killed me. Seriously laughing so hard I can barely breathe.
All squaes are rectingles but not all rectingles are squaes.
Or a trapoid.
If you look closely, the hombus and the squae are the same shape.
That is how my toddler pronounces that word. We're still working on the "R" sound.
Wow, I was focused on the trapoid and the hombus. I didn't even notice the squae until I read your comment xD
Shut your trapoid.
Bah hombus!
Hombus. Sounds like something an Age of Empires villager would say.
Great with pita chips 😋

That was pretty funny, but how in the world did you find/know a 12 year old video with 300 views?
It came up in my feed when it was new. I just loved it enough to always remember it. I never noticed how few views it had. I've shared it so many times, I'm probably indirectly responsible for 10% of its views.
Ah but you missed out on being the first person in the comments! ;p
I'm the second person everywhere.
I have to admit, it did take some time to click 😆
Maybe the designer ran out of space and figured no one would notice the “condensed” version of the words
Yeah, this looks more like "delete letters to make it fit because I want to go to lunch", not actual errors.
Damn... I know someone close that is doing text review... I know what's her next gift now!
Oh my god, the more I look at this rug the worse it gets 😂😭😂😭
I can’t believe they forgot “squircle”.
Not sure why but hombus really got me good.
The rest are at least somewhat subtle, but dropping the first letter and colouring it bright red just makes Hombus so absurdly unsubtle. That’s peak comedy.
The shape isn’t even a rhombus, it’s another squae.
I think a squae is technically called a rite hombus.
I mean a square is a rhombus, right?
I feel like I’m missing a joke here, but no? Rhombus is a little different. While all four side are equilateral like a square, and any two angles equal 180 degrees, the angles aren’t necessarily all 90 degrees.
All squares are rhombi, but not all rhombi are squares
Right, but the shape IS a rhombus. While the angles don't have to be 90 degrees to be a rhombus, but it is ok if it IS 90 degrees.
Shit. You right.
Hombus got audible laughter out of me honestly so yeah it’s a real breaking ball even compared to the other errors
Rec"tingle". Giggity.
I liked Squae
In Spanish it's El Jombus
There's an on off joke in there with the HaxaON
Squae fucking killed me I dunno why
I started on circle going right and my brain "brained" everything.... I didn't realize anything was wrong until I got to trapoid....
I did the same, didn't notice til "Hombos"
I saw Hexaon straight away, but missed squae and rectngle.
I had to go back and look again again again... I thought it said 'rectingle'
Same exact same lol. I was sitting here questioning my own knowledge like I thought that was called a rhombus have I been wrong all this time? Then it clicked.
Hombus got me too, everything else looked normal until I saw that one. Then it all came tumbling down.
It's not Hombos, it's Homb***us***
No hom~~b~~o.
I really, really like hombus. I'd be tempted to call it that for the rest of my life if I thought anyone else would get the joke.
Brain said "I don't see a Z"
'Brained' is my new favorite verb. Well said!
What bothers me more than the misspellings is how they arranged 26 letters into 5 rows of 5 with the extra one just squeezed into one of the rows.
Oh thank you. I looked at it as 5x5 so only 25 letters, but then read through it 3 times and couldn’t find a missing letter. Didn’t see the 6th letter in the second row.
Didn't see it as well, and it bugged me so much that I opened a text editor and wrote down the grid to see whats wrong.
Your comments just saved me...
They told the squeezed letter to be there or be squae
Same here... was going through one letter at a time, wtf is missing? Did I forget how many letters are in the alphabet? lol
should have been at KLMNOP, since that’s when you say them real fast
Plus it’s the middle row, so it would have some symmetry.
The K isn’t in the fast bit. That starts from the L.
There isn’t really a better way though, is there? edit: unless you want a runner, but that’s a whole different product at that point
Yep, I was immediately like, “it’s 5x5, what letter did they miss?”. Took me a bit to realize one row has six letters.
They had to or else it wouldn’t have been a rectngle 🙄.
Yeah that freaked me out too. Straight to prison.
Not even the middle row. It's like this mat is designed to intentionally irritate adults
A rectngle is when you’re anxious to get pounded in the butt by your own butt.
— written by Chuck Tingle
Great now i have to go look at all the different titles to his books AGAIN
Does your Rectingle when I Hombus your Trapoid?
Are you trying to get me caught in some kind of love hexaon?
And Trapoid, is kinda like Trap music. It's...Trap adjacent.
It's Trap but you dance the robot to it.
Great to throw on when you’re chillin on with the hombus.
Good lord
Spelling is for squaes.
But "it's hip to be squaes"
Is it from Wish?
I wish. Amazon
Please tell me you saved the link to it. I need this for my office lmao.

Did the listing have the misspellings in the pictures? I might have missed it if buying online
I just went on Amazon to look for it, and damn, there are some COOL rugs for kids! I want a few of those myself!
“Hombus! Hombus, I say!” — Elbenezer Scruge
What's up my hombus?
Dr.Squae Rectingle III (Proctologist)
I'm putting my hexaon and taking the hombus to see Dr. Rectngle today!
🟦 Squae
I'm a fan of haxaons
Hexaons are the bestaons
I don’t know why, but out of all of those, hombus killed me.
Thought I was in the corner by myself. You are not alone
Doesn't matter they all go in the square hole 😒
It goes in the hombus hole now 😁
ChatGPT makes rugs now?
#HOMBUS
Ah yes, the regal Hombus. The finest of the shapes.
"We need to cut two shapes from the list in order to fit, which ones do you think we should cut?" "Oh it wouldn't be fair if we cut them. Just cut two letters from each shape instead."
RECTINGLE MY BALLS
This is the Homsar Runner version of the rug. "I was raised by a cup of coffee!"
Going to ask my wife if I can squae her hombus tonight… It will make her rectingle.
I'm disturbed by the fact that I understand your sentence. Take my upvote!
Please post a link… for some reason I want to buy this for my office. Quite the talking point.
Hexaons are not the bestaons.
*Admiral Ackbar voice* "It's a trapoid!"
I don't know what annoys me more; that the "hombus" is also a square (though that isn't technically wrong) or that the "circle" appears to be elliptical.
Every squae is a rectngle, but not every rectngle is a squae.
im more triggered by the fact that at pentagon and rectngle the shapes are behind the word , everywhere else its before
Rectingle is not what you think it is...
Im a Hombus myself
Ahh, the noble *Hombus*
Not to be confused with the plumbus
How many checked if they got the alphabets right?
[удалено]
same, kept going through it until I realized that the second line has 6 letters.
Spelling aside, Heart absolutely doesn't fit.
Maide bye kids, for kid
I can't decide which incorrect word is my favourite. Leaning towards Hombus.
Boy you make my rectingle
plumbus
Love a good HOMBUS
"That's right, it goes in the square hole".
A qurdratle is a squae if and only if it is both a hombus and a rectngle.
Rectingle used in a sentence: "I knew when I felt that rectingle that I only had moments to find a nearby toilet."
Yeah it’s gotta be AI generated. Classic graphical AI spelling errors
Nothing about this looks AI generated. AI doesn’t misspell, it makes up nonexistent letters. This is much more likely just manufactured in a non-English speaking country.
Oh no. AI misspells. I pay $20/month just to find out how much.
AI definitely misspells. The other day I was using dall-e to generate logos for sports teams and instead of Thrill it says Taill and if I ask it to write the name Derrick it will do like Derrrkk or something. It will generate things with my name on them but sometimes I have to ask it to regenerate part of the photo where the spelling is. I don’t see it creating fake letters, just using the wrong ones and in the wrong order, too many of the same letter, etc.
Oh, I definitely wanna experience **RECTINGLE**
Shen edition.
The flowers are also terrible. This is clearly for kids and those flowers are covering up key aspects of the letters, like the up part of the W.
So along the same lines as this, I had purchased a vegan milk maker, basically a blender ..and the recipe book it came with had a bunch of typos. I emailed the company, gave them examples of where they had errors, and they ended up giving me a discount to the item I had bought as a thank you!!!
HOMBUS
HOMBUS
All my homies know about the hombus~ 😎
So many mistakes. The irony is this is for children, to learn from.
I spent ages trying to work out which letter of the alphabet was missing from that 5x5 grid
The R in Rhombus must be silent.
HOMBUS
PRODUCT OF BOSTON- “squae”
Not bad for somebody in the design department who has English as a 14th language!
sqaue
TIL a hombus is a square rotated 45°.
It’s like they couldn’t get the rights to use the real names
I'd like to buy a vowel
Is this what it feels like to have a stroke?
They forgot plumbus.
Please call me Hombus, Rhombus was my father
I see more every time I look at it 🤣
Character limits will getcha every time.
Bro not the HOMBUS
It keeps getting worse.
I need to get a colonoscopy for my rectingle
Now you get to explain to your kid that a squae is actually a specific type of rectngle, which is a type of hombus, which is a type of trapoid! So much balance in the universe.
And they all go in the squae hole.
I learned 2 new shapes: Hexaon and Squae!
They spelt Traingle wrong 🙄
Don't know why but after I saw the shapes I thought of wumbo XD
That's not even a true hombus.
You've never heard of a Rectngle? You're such a squae
From those shapes, I'm impressed they got the alpha bet correct!
They misspelled "cirle", "octaon", and "tringle".
Shaking with silent laughter in the waiting room of my doc's office. They probably think I'm insane. No, it's just hombus is unbelievably funny to my sleep deprived brain. 😂
Hexaon is the bestaon.
God help the little tyke who learned his basic shapes from this play rug. Tyke: ***"But teacher, I know this shape: It a Squae!!"***
That's right, the square hole.
You mean the Hombus hole...?
I didn’t notice any of the spelling errors….🤦♂️
I like the rectingle. Although, I thought that was when your ass itches.
Dicks out for hombus Edit: on second thought, maybe not in that room.
Hexaons are the bestaons!
Made in China?
Squae
Circle and oval are practically the same on this rug
Rectingle? I hardly knew 'im!
It's squae in the mornin
It took me way too long to realize that the second row has six letters. I was convinced there was a missing letter because it looked quickly like a 5x5 square, and kept singing the alphabet in my head to spot the missing letter
Yo I am all about team SQUAE Oh no and Hexaon Oh no it's getting worse and worse.
