Spongebob may live under the sea, but according to one math expert, despite the claims of his theme song, he's not making his home in an authentic pineapple.

In a bit of fun, overly critical analysis, "mathemusician" and YouTuber Vi Hart has posted an open video letter to Nickelodeon asserting that the animated home of their hit sponge character is not, as they insist, a real pineapple. It's mathematically impossible, Hart says, because real pineapples follow a fibonacci sequence, and Spongebob's "pineapple" house does not.
She then goes on to prove it, drawing diagrams and using an actual pineapple as proof. Your move, Nickelodeon.

Wow, does anyone remember this just a cartoon? I can see the agrument that the pineapple isn't correct but seriously!

Clearly this woman has never watched the show. If she had, she would have seen SpongeBob, living in a pineapple, under the sea.

Geez, don't these people know anything?

If people are going to argue about that, one might as well argue over the fact that SpongeBob's pineapple has never seemed to go rotten in any way over the years.

Let alone the way it regenerated after being eaten by nematodes
