    I think I’m too stupid to understand this. How are they straight lines and not at a diameter / in a circle from any given point? It seems… wrong.

          I’ve tried to demonstrate it here. You end up with straight lines because it’s always a middle point so it doesn’t curve one way or another between the two points.

          If the circles had a set radius then you’d have empty space and more circley-looking spots. But since they basically expand until there’s a middle point you’ll have these straight lines.

          Draw it, then consider where the exact middle point would be. Now do the whole line between them. I think that’s the best way to figure it out.
